Federal's or Dunlop DZ101's, but next time do yourself a favor and seach for the answers you seek. This has been covered at least 2-7,000 times.

Yeah cooper tires are cheap as fuck. That's what I was planning on using for when I start trying to drift until I get good enough for an upgrade.

Or you can just use good tires in rain so they don't burn up

Do cute lil Irish girls pop out of those like in the commercial? lol...

projekt_s13 · 12-05-2007, 10:15 PM

I use PVC type plastic tires, they spin for days.

Or you can relocate your washer fluid tank to your trunk,then tape the windshield fluid nozzles so that they squirt your rear tires... Instant Sideways

P.S add bleach in the windshield tank = super smoke
lol

Thats so ricetastic I might consider not doing it. True drifters use free tires, so if they aint free you aint driftin foo you just spending money.

Dousan_PG · 12-05-2007, 11:46 PM

front
noevas and RE01Rs 235/40/17

rear

Federal SS595s

and Dunlop DZ101s Direzzas

24/540/18

tamdo7114 · 12-05-2007, 11:51 PM

federal 595 yee yee yee

*MELLO*SOS* · 12-05-2007, 11:51 PM

KA-T_240 · 12-05-2007, 11:52 PM

Damn, I am not a drifter and I even know the answers to this question just from reading on this forum

Something with decent grip on the front, cheap/smokey tires on the back. or what ever you are sponsered to run lol.

JeremyR · 12-05-2007, 11:55 PM

re01rs, o50a, re750, (all potenzas) my fave in order..if i need tires on the cheap, but with decent quality, federal 595rs (front) and ss595 (rear)

McRussellPants · 12-06-2007, 12:09 AM

F: 235/40/17 FK452

R: 255/35/18 FK452

FK452s and DZ101s are my weapon of choice.

I've used Kuhmo MXs in the rear and loved them as well, they smell like shit though.

Federals are trash imo. The only reason people use them is they're cheap as fuck.

Obviously stuff like the ad07 and RE01R and RT615 and Z1 will be best, I can't drop that sort of coin though.
