215 is a terrible idea with max camber
your contact patch is a fucking joke


But it's your car sounds like you already have your mind made up on running a shitty 1/2 assed "2001" style setup that's outdated and retarded. I am on zt enough to see all the other so called co drifters and their likes
I also watched thosE Co dudes drift off track and up banks (at balcony) with such setups at asb

enjoy the lack of grip and control a 215 provides with 300 hp and fast drifts
when your ready to step your game up and move past the beginer level maybe more expirienced advice will be availbale and can get into your noggin

^^ Harsh!

These guys have said it all. I take it you have never tried a "good" tire up in the front in a decent width. Listen to these guys they know what they are talking about.

Advan AD08 or Dunlop Starspecs are my only choices in from tires. I ran the 595RSR and hated them-got real greasy after a few runs. I can only imagine that a 595ss would be not real good in the front. 595ss for the rear work great though but they don't stretch all too much but its not as drastic as you would think.

Another issue you have is you have zero clue what your alignment settings are. Perhaps,like dousan said, rethink the way your going about building and driving your car as your just asking for trouble.

Weird, I've run RSRs in the front severaL times and they were pretty/amazing. Ran them at both drift and road racing events. They never got greasy. Ran my old daily tires in the rear once they weren't streetable, and at 65 psi, they spun well and had good grip. Loved them.
