All tyres will benifit from being heated up as they generally become stickier allowing you to lauch at higher rpm without wheel spin.The dunlops and other street tyres don't need 20 second burn out like drag slicks or radials are designed for though. Once you have a bit of smoke comming off them they should be fine.The key as Geea said is to just use the water to get the wheels spinning and then move you burn out forward so you are spinning the tyres on the dry track to heat them up.
