Ok currently have Kumho Ecsta All seasons and they arent too bad but they are all seasons and dont allow too much in the line of parking lot drifting and the usual just getting it sideways but they still wear nice. What are some good tires for doing this kind of thing? I would also like to keep the price $150 or under a piece.

get some **** tires from the junkyard. Actually many times you can get practically new tires for about $20 a piece. Then you could beat the crap out of them and only be out 80 bucks instead of 600.

What do you mean when you say they don't allow too much getting sideways? Like they grip too much or too little? Either go with junkyard tires or the good ol' falken ziex 512s from vulcantire.com. For my vert wheels they were $40 a piece.

i have federals 595's... great quality tires for a cheap price... not too much people sport them though, they are well known in D1 drifting comps...

i like them aggressive tread pattern and super sticky.

Plenty of good deals out there to be had. Check out tirerack.com as well. Sure you can find some nice new summer performance for $60ish

I got the falken zeik 912's, seem alrite. 40psi makes them feel alrite, 45 will make you slide easy as hell.

205/50/15 btw

The sidewall just feels too soft, I'd suggest 40is in the rear, I don't got new tires in the front yet I'm sure the fronts at 36-38 would feel good my current 30 dollar a piece tires n the front are at 38 and they are good, cept the tires are bad.

ditto.

I've been running 235/40/17's ($64 bux each off ebay) and they have held up great as front tires. I don't drift with them in the rear. I use crap tires for drifting in back.

I use them in the rear for NASA HPDE and they kick ***.

I'd compare them to Yokohama es100's but at half the price. They hooked me with the price and performance and wear.

+1 for the Federals, great tire, great price.

yea i think i will more than likely go with them because they look nice and from what everyone says perform nice.

jmkogut

I'm really happy with mine. They stick like dry rape and I've never had any problems hydroplaning (yet).

Make sure to get balanced though, it makes a world of difference. Especially after changing out suspension if you recently did it.

Check Consumer Reports. Kumho rates in the middle.

Top rated performance all season, in order:
Dunlop SP Sport 5000
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
Falkien Ziex ZE 512
Continental ContiProContact
Michelin Pilot XGT H4
Bridgestone Potenza RE950 (but they supposedly keep their grip longer)

CR didn't rate the Feddy's and I've never seen them, so I can't say anything about that.

yea i guess i should have mentioned that i am going to go hi performance summer tires because i dont plan on driving in snow or anything like that so all seasons are useless to me
