well it will kinda help, but drifting causes the tires to roll under a bit, so it causes the tires to wear on the outsides, Drifting will destroy your tires so i would get the rear to steer eliminators for a different reason. i.e. Better controll of the car!

that is the reason I'm getting them but it was just an idea that popped into my mind after looking at the tires.

how about you goto the junk yard buy some crappy *** tires for like 20 bucks pop them on and you can do as many burnouts and drifts as you like. Or you can do what i did before and try drifiting in the rain its alot better for the tires and its alot of fun lol

Heheh rain == fun

My few times practicing have really taken it's toll on my tires. They are a little unevenly worn and damn low on tread(all the better for sliding,heheh).

I'm planning on buying new tires for regualr driving and trying to find a spare set of rims to slap junkyard used ones.

My friend got some used tires for like $20 plus mounted and drove daily driver before they went out.

Once you get better you will realize you need decent quality tires to keep stable and control, also to have the tire stay in on piece. I have gone throgh 6 tires in a day and if they would stop separating they would have lasted longer. Cheap tires are good to learn on.
