the problem with faterals is that the 215/45 is like really really tall and the 215/40 is like shorter than other 215/40...

yea i know...imma wait until these tires go take poop then purchase some s-drives for my fronts

Karlitos · 01-20-2011, 01:09 AM

Can someone explain to me this: how come if our cars are RWD, everyone wants good tires up front. Shouldnt the good tires be in the rear? People will drive with bald rears and new fronts? I dont understand.

270r , drool.

Fronts should have some grip for better turn in response and helps with weight transfer. Rears go bald just after a few burn outs on some tires before you even start to drift and less rear grip lets the car slide easier with some wear on them.

irritatedmax · 01-20-2011, 01:58 AM

Pictures of said driveway.

Front grip is important for steering.

OBEEWON · 01-20-2011, 04:33 AM

Good rears and bad fronts equal crasho.

longfellow · 01-20-2011, 07:31 AM

Because no one drag races anymore.

I had a buddy a couple years ago that was running like a 225 front tire with 275 rears and he was asking me why he was understeering...

I was like dude just think about it for one second.

For drifting, good tires up front for awesome steering. For everything else, good tires all around.

yeah 100% true. When I picked up my 215 40 17s, I looked at them and said oh SHIT. WTF is tis? a 25 series sidewall?

new tires all around is best.

well, actually, I hated when I had brand new fronts. They were TOO sticky.
Slightly worn in front tires and brand new rear tires. DREAM COMBO!

Makes most sense. I was thinking Grip/ DD. I'm to used to autoX and having good tires everywhere but better tires in rear to get traction. But Im going drifting next month so ill see.

BTW a friend is letting me borrow his stock 5 luggers with no tires for the drift day (dont want to mess up the works) what sizes should i run on those?

nathanong87 · 01-20-2011, 12:33 PM

drive on the works. no biggie.

chiboy002 · 01-20-2011, 01:27 PM

OBEEWON · 01-20-2011, 01:43 PM

Give that man a donut. Sick sick way to carry wheels.

If he drifts like that he runs this town.

kalypso123 · 01-20-2011, 01:52 PM

i love that he insisted on a second pair of tail lights, lol

Olly · 01-20-2011, 01:57 PM

He's drifted with the rack on before. It's 100% street legal too.. I'm also pretty sure it was featured in drift tengoku

longfellow · 01-20-2011, 02:58 PM

Found this while browsing my old build thread.
