That would be a very grim description of drifting. Drifting is where a driver "flicks" the steering wheel opposite of the destined turn, "Pops" the clutch and rides the vehicle in a sideways manar till the end of the turn. This takes a very skilled driver to execute in a competivie sence. They skilled drivers have total control of their vehicle and no...in no way shape or form are cheap bawled tires ever used in competition. The tire you would choose depends on the horsepower ratio, compared to the willingness of the tire to break traction...For example, say you have a 400whp s15, easily capable of breaking the rears loose at any givin moment, You would want a softer more high quality tire, because if you used a cheap bawled hard tire it would be damn near impossible to control. Now say you have a 220hp AE86, you would want a harder compound , yet still high quality tire to be able to control the drift and make a clean exit. Drifting is not about just popping the clutch and being in the mercy of your car hoping that you dont go off the road and wreck,((((any pimple faced 16 year old can cut his mustang sideways in a turn))) its about having total control of your car in a drifting fasion. When you are drifting your rear wheels are inline with your front wheels pointing in the direction of the exit of the turn, not just wildly spinning and hoping you dont slide out of control....This is just a rough definition on the sport..may have missed a few points, but i'm really tired...




Ohh and that R32 is TIGHT!...I would love to take possesion of a R33....and r34 would just to way to much $$$$$.
