Drift Tyres

[willa]

Haha oh shii what have i done wrong? :/

35, and they were brand new. Flipped the rotation and put 40 and they were a little slicker. Wanted to put more but it was a 37degree day

[Sprinter Freak]

yea bought a few off them for last weekend, thought they were a bit grippy. had to stay in second almost all day couldn't get 3rd going.

yea thinking similar thing dude, they're a pretty soft compound at 320 rating.

what model of nankangs are they? and does it have a hardness rating on the tyre?

[Skid_KE70]

up front i run a Toyo R1R 195/50R15 on a 15x8.5
rear is a Federal 595 RSR 205/50R15 on a 15x9.5

These seem to be a great combination together, both tyres have very high grip levels even cold. they seem to work very well on anything over 220kw

recommended 195/55 15 or 205/50 15?

I've used Hero Atlantas at ~$80ea

happy with performance, not so happy with delam.

nankang only have 1 model 185 55 14,and the hardness rating is high cant rember exact number and Rotallas are not grippy run like 40 in them and you shouldnt have any issues turning them,i killed 1 pair in 1 run on sunday but from delam wasnt happy

Holy thread revival batman. Ive had a few 15's ive used recently, anyone else add 15 china tyre reviews?

Achillies ATR Sport 1 195/55/15 400 treadwear: quite grippy in the dry when new, grip tapers off as they wear though. Decently stiff sidewalls but delamed slightly at wear bars tho. Deadly slippery in the wet, like super slippery.

Derubio ?? non directional 195/55/15 280 treadwear i think: Very grippy in the dry, have done a few long street links in them and havent delammed and prob 3/4 tread still. soft shitty sidewalls though, need good pressure to work well, like 36 cold. Not tested in wet. left blackies and presumably good smoke.


Want to look at kinforest, maxtrek, rotalla f108, im gonna try kenda comets again i havent since car has been turbo.

[AJPS]

silverstones?

[benzo]

I've just fitted Kendas Komets to my car again man. 195/60 15. good grip right down. can't beat em for value.

tried those Achilles ATR's on a friends car recently and I thought they were terrible. rather drive on 2nds.

moving up to 16" soon for lower profile. have heard good things about Sumo Firenza ST-05A??

Wish we could get Kenda Komets over here

Anyone tried Dayton DT30s?

I have bought a couple just because they are nice and cheap but not had a chance to try them, wondering if I should buy more before the next event

[ae8zn6]

Can probably disregard, I think I have found a source of Komet goodness...
