I don't remember exactly what type of Potenzas, but I ripped the sides on the rear tires pretty badly to the point where I didn't feel safe driving with them anymore. :\ That happened after practicing drifting in a parking lot for about an hour. I'm guessing the hotter the tires get, the more quickly they lose tread?
Then at Buttonwillow this month, I took my car onto the skidpad only three times and the same thing happened to my Yokohama YK420 tires, which were supposed to have long wear. Well the outsides of the tires lost all their tread.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
front tires:
UNDERSTEER!!
that's what happens man!
i killed some FM901s with understeer (not killed, just hurt the sides A LOT). now, i've used bridgestone RE730s on 2 events and a few tiems of the occasional stupid parking lot stunts and they are fine.
i had the same thing. the reason your sides was all torn up is because you are understeering tooo much. been there done that, just takes practice.
u coming down to the dec 7th event??
rear tires:
i used the same rear tires at 2 drift events. the second one i killed them (6 hours of drifting does that). anywyas, getting new crap tires this week or next, for the 7th event...should last all day, i am not like driftheaven haah..that guy needs his own trailer of tires..hahahaha...mad skills.
front tires:
anyways, understeer kills tires.
adey and driftingpanda and itsybitsy seen my tires after 3 events..like brand new almost-they were SHOCKED (even after the 2 drift events and street fun and daily driving) also i run a good -3.5 degrees negative camber on a daily basis! heh...
