Drift Tires?

For reference, I've already searched, and all I came up with was "ES100's are teh sux0rz!1"

So I want to know, "What specific brands and sizes does everyone use?"


I like a 215/45/17 on 17x9, but I've been having trouble finding a cheap tire to burn. I personally like having a brand new set to burn up, so I don't have to keep switching up tires and retire early because I've run out of rubber.

So far I've used:

-Kumho Ecsta 712 (**half way used** crap, burned pretty decently but chunked up at the end)
-Kumho Ecsta MX (**basically brand new** burns pretty well, lots of smoke, resists chunking a little better then the 712 but once again, chunked up a bit. They're also pretty pricey to drift on brand new)
-Goodyear Eagle F1 (**Barely Used when I got them** I loved these, held up all the way down to the cords! Smoke pretty decently too)
-Michelin Pilot Sport (**50% tread left** junk. They got REALLY greasy, literally fell apart. I could hear large tread blocks flying off into my wheel well and ended up having to quit after 3 runs because i was slapping my car w/ cords)


What have you used, what did you like? I'm looking at Falken Ziex 512 because i've heard good things about them.
