    Default what type of drift tyres

    right lads im just wondering what the best tyre setup would be in yer opinion..
    last year i was competing in pd with my sileighty she was running roughly 220-230bhp and 205 rubber.. now i fiddled with her shes running 267bhp and i just wanna to know what width/make tyre ye think would be best to run on the back, i have 8js on the front and 9s on the back...and also ill run 225s on the front but not sure what make yed say is the grippiest for both wet and dry
    cheers

    federal super steel 595s are an unreal tyre in both wet and dry lad!!
    with that power id say you could run up to 245s but if you think there is too much grip use pleanty of psi!!
    also the width you can run depends on your budget since price goes up with width

    I'll take a pic later of the road ones And post it up.
    @drifter I had Kendas on before the federals and found them better in the wet lol try falken fk452s or falken ziex the ziex wear quicker tho but the fk452s are a great all round tyre or if you could stretch to bridgestone potenzas but at the rate your burn them lol I'd say there is not much point lol
