That won't help at all unless they are drag radials. The sidewalls on a regular street radial do not flex therefor do not benefit from lowering air pressure at all.

Also, if you are on regular radials, don't do a burnout in the water box. Drive around it completely avoiding the water. Depending on the tire will depend on what type of burnout you need to do. Some tires if soft enough will benefit from heating them up, but some other stock type tires will just get hot and greasy making traction worse.

Just my opinion..
Doing a small burn out is good regardless, just to at least clean the tire off. Also depending on pressure it is good to lower pressure even on street radials. Lots of us have done a lot of testing with Invos, which are recommended to be at 35+psi but at the track we all do much better with 20-22 in them
