Any rubber you can get for it! For drifting, buying nice tires is WAYY TO expensive, you'll burn through a brand new set for the rear in a few runs, just grab a set of any old tire and just go out there an have fun. When you get more competitive and have more aggressive modifications thats when you start looking into sticky tires. The cars in Formula Drift run their tire sponsors top of the line Street tire, Toyo R1R, Hankook Ventus RS-3, Falken Azenis RT-615, Nitto NT03 or 1 i dont remember, Cooper Zeon RS3.

My last car was a G35 and comparatively the 370Z is harder to get the rear end to come around. Of course it can be done but you need to really draw on a lot of power.

But IMHO this is a good thing. The 370Z is so much more balanced; so much more confidence inspiring. It's nice to know that you can really get on the throttle exiting a corner and the car almost magically pivots. Probably not the best for drifting but certainly better for road racing (on a track of course...).

And this car is much faster than my old G35.

maybe with vdc on. with it off, i disagree. you can get the rear end to come loose easily. like others said, it's all throttle control. this car slides with ease.
