    Typically Kenda's are pretty good, lots of smoke & lots of grip & last a good long time
    Jinyu's seem to last a lot longer than the kendas, less smoke tho.. dont really know about grip
    partworns - dont even bother, false economy

    I go through 1 set of kendas doing 4th gear all morning at AutoHeroes, then typically two further sets doing mondello forward in the afternoon.. most of the tyre slaying is done dragging on the handbrake entering under the bridge.. flat spots the tyres like mad

    Yeah definitely Kenda's, not the cheapest but last and handle way better than anything I had in before.

    I've had kendas on road cars before. they wear extremely well and are well worth the tiny bit extra compared to a shite budget tyre.

    What power you running, a set of tires lasts you all morning drifting in 4th gear thats brilliant? Also what PSI you running?

    300 horsepower... but its kind-of a very unfair comparison to petrol horsepower 800NM of torque

    28 psi cold, could probably drop that a bit more

    I go to a guy in ardee called MK Tyres. Hes very easy to deal with and has a good selection of budget tyres. He does some drifting himself so he try's to help out as much as he can
