I have a 1993 Nissan 240SX with 15" stock 4-lug rims.

Thanks!

Just buy a pair of each and try it out for yourself.

You have to make your own decision when it comes to tires for drifting.

I'm always changing brands to see which ones I like.

Sure recommendations help, but in the end everyone has different driving styles and therefore you have to make your own conclusion.

For unmounting/mounting tires, it costs about $20 per wheel. So, using used tires might not be a good idea. With new tires, it lasts longer and less cost on unmounting/mounting tires on the long run.

I am still thinking a way to save money in the long run. For example, maybe buying my own tire changer/wheel balancer and get used tires from junkyards will be a good option.

I agree with azndoc on this one. I would rather get falkens if I had to choose between the two ( just my biased opinion). From what I have seen at my work with rikens is fairly decent not many come back as adjustments but your gonna kill them either way drifting.

i had falken ze912's in the front with some shitty michelins in back at the last event, they felt fine, could have been a little grippier, but ok for the price. i'm still a beginner though, so my opinion doesnt really count for much..
