well , for starters, a 31/10.50 is a little wider than a 235/75, so you have less pounds per square inch on the ground (meaning that with a wider tire, the vehicle weight is spread out more, a skinny-er tire puts the weight in a smaller area+ more traction, harder to break the tires loose in a spin) the gear ratios could be different between the 2, my parts blazer has 3.73's, the "good" blazer has 3.42's, the lower the ratio, the easier it would be to break a tire loose. one engine might have more output than the other, and also a older set of tires wont grip as well as a new set, my snow tires still had good tread but were over 5 years old, would spin like on ice during the summer if it was raining. its probly a combination of factors.
Ive burned out in every car ive driven. Good way to feel the power of an engine. I dont think its an age thing I beleive if you love powerful motors youll do it for the thrill. I own a 99 blazer 4.3, just plain stock I could get the tires to squeek, now I put on a cold air induction, and flowmaster and besides the grunt I can now burnout from a complete stop especially on wet days. I dont do it much because I live where it snows so I need my rubber. But since mild upgrades a very fun vehicle to drive that can serve all purpose, with a lil passing power
