You might want to try different brand of tires until you find the model/brand that will work best for you.
Good luck,

Sam

what type of yokohama??? or are they all as good?

hotrodv · 03-02-2005, 09:06 AM

I'm very curious too, what type of tires do you suggest for drifting for your experience??

justinhustle · 03-02-2005, 09:36 AM

good tires

yoko avs300

toyo t1 - sometimes...

Fusion ZRi is good too, if available

falken st115

420sx · 03-02-2005, 09:43 AM

Fuzion Zr1 is xcellent for stretching, nice stiff sidewall. and it grips good too, comparable to Es100's. as a matter of fact u should sretch it even more to 215 on the 9 inch

justinhustle · 03-02-2005, 10:24 AM

i love, LOVE my fuzion

and for those of you that dont know, its made by firestone and its an almost copy of the yoko es but less loot

420sx · 03-02-2005, 10:34 AM

everyone has different preference when it comes to tires.
your friends might like this model/brand of tires for drifting while you might like something else.
also skill/car level effect tire selection process as well.
we can't say anything about other tires or recommend any other tires beside yokohama because we are sponsored by them.
by far the best tire we have use is Advan Neova AD07(cheater drift tires), and yes we didn't get them free we had to pay for it.
cheers,

sam

mr_240sx · 03-02-2005, 01:04 PM

why are the advan tires considered cheating tires?

I second that. ES100's take stretching very well.

infinitexsound · 03-05-2005, 03:14 AM

yeah my aunt works for them too.... good thread i was lookin for info about the fuzions because im buying a set of wheels, and they looked like a great cheap buy for tires....

hotrodv · 03-23-2005, 04:33 AM

I need to buy 2 new wheels for my car, what I've found here is these 2 model, what's your suggestion about? They need to be stretched on a 9"
Falken FK-451 225/40 ZR18 88Y 170USD each

Yokohama AVS SPORT 225/40 ZR18 92Y RF RPB 220USD each

WongFeiHung · 03-23-2005, 08:30 AM

My impression from reading Tirerack's test...

Fuzion ZRi grips slightly better than the ES100, however, its not as responsive (probably softer sidewall)...the ES100 outperforms the ZRi in the wet.

kuruptR · 09-08-2006, 07:58 PM

bringing back an old thread.

T1R's dont stretch, i learned that the hard way...too bad i read this thread late.

I got sponsored by Toyo they gave me a set of 245/35/18 for my 18x10.5s the bead won't seal.

Some of the best drifting tires iv tried were BFgoodrich KDW-2

Comment to poster above, Falken FK451 is junk it falls apart to quick very cheap junk.

.

I actually had the exact same problem. I tried mounting the T1R's (225 on a 17x9). First tire shop couldn't seat the beads, so I took it to another shop. Second shop tied a rope around the outside of the tire, and put a prybar between the tire and rope, and twisted it until the rope was pretty much crushing the tire. While doing that, they had to go to about 50psi until the beads actually seated.

Just gotta keep goin at it.

mr_240sx · 09-08-2006, 08:07 PM

well im running 451's right now and dont have any complaints... they seam to be holding really good... but mind you i havent tried any other tires on my works yet....

*DJPimpFlex* · 09-08-2006, 08:07 PM

gotta240 · 09-09-2006, 02:08 AM
