Recommendations for Drift Tires

12Autox · 04-01-2017, 11:58 AM

I am setting up the Z to drift, and plan to go to an event in May. I have installed an oil cooler, increased the steering angle, and have an extended email brake handle. Still need the Project Mu e brake shoes. I used to run Nexens on my 350Z for drifting because they didn't chunk or separate and they were cheap. What's a good pick these days? Federal 595's? Any better cheap options, like under $150 each?

What tire size you thinking of running? Personally I run 245/45ZR18s in Ironman iMove Gen2s. They are around $60 a peice for me and wear even and don't chunk much. They've done well enough that a good number of people run them around here. Can roast 2 sets of tires at an event and only cost around $240.

Nice. I just bought a set of those for another car- one of the few makers of 13" tires. Maybe I will give them a shot. I will be on 255/40/19's. Thanks
