Less traction will slide out easier but you will have alot less control. real crappy tires in the rear is good for underpowered cars, but if you have an fd i dont think thats the case i would get pretty good tires in the rear too.

i work at a goodyear, and i get all the used tires i could ever want. i even get high performance tires with like 60-80% tread left from people who are apparently rich and want to get new tires just to see how different they handle!

odd, drifting made my driving better. the car control i learned from sliding around lets me push harder through corners. but my driving style was already a tail happy style.

Pushing past the limits will give you more confidence in grip driving when you start to lose it.

everyone says run shitty tires in the rea until you get like the pros..........hahahaha well if you always use shity tires you will never get as good as the pros.
Run whatever you can afford or find ......yes even in the dumpster..... I always buy new tires for the front Azenis St115 or Direzza then I ususally put my older tires that used to be on the front on the back. when those wear out I go to a used tire shop and buy the best tires they have that I have enough money for.
If you are doing drift on the street you will want slippery tires in the rear cuz the road tends to get more traction and you cannot maintain consistent high speed on the street. For circuit I find it better to use better tires in the rear due to more room, more speed and less traction. This is different from track to track and also depending on conditions. I normally have several different tires mounted up for different times but I have learned to just control the car for whatever tire I have on at the time. So just get what you can afford and try different tires from time to time and you will learn alot.
Notice I did not mention at any time to use BALD tires....
