why would tire spin even matter? you are only worried about how fast the tread is deteriorating in a given distance. Tire spin is just going to kill even more rubber. IE, you have lost X amount of rubber in the past Y miles. That way a pit crew can say holy crap, hes burning through tires and going to have to pit too soon.
