Hey guys, i was thinking about getting a pair of cheap tires and rims and mounting 'em out back just to play around with. Ya know, beat the crap outta them cuz they cost 50 bucks a piece. Any good suggestions? I was thinking it'd be fun to put something really small on back there so i'd get a ton of oversteer. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Drifting is not about using cheap ass tire to loose traction. Its the way the car's suspension is set up. If you have ever seen any of the D1 series, all the cars are using race rubber for ultimate traction and steering control. If you look at how they have the AE86's set up for drifting, you'll notice that on a 1700lbs car it has 250# springs up front with 500-600# springs out back. Thats what makes the car 'tail happy'. Cheap tires are just going to make it that much easier to find a drainage ditch on the side of the road. |
