burnouts only help when you have drag tires....street tires suffer a bit if you get them too hot with the burnout. Its better to just do a mini burnout if you're on street tires...

Thats what I heard anyway. Anyone wanna chime in on this?

True. If street tires are somewhat up to temperature....the water will evaporate quickly anyway (if you can't circle around the water box). I usually gave my street tires a quick spin to clean off the debris, and shake off excess water. Long burnouts will generally have a negative effect on street tires. Only the top tier street tires (star spec's, re-11's, AD08's, etc) handle high temps without getting excessively greasy. Of course those tires are sticky, but the sidewalls are way to stiff to be great straight line tires.
