I just ordered some Nexens- according to a 240SX guy they work pretty good for cheap drift tires. There are some N3000's or something on Ebay for $320+shipping. My local mechanic is going to get them near cost for me since he's a dealer. Fuzion ZRI's are good and cheap, too.

Anyone else have suggestion while we're drifting off topic (sorry)

Default Snappy???

hey is anyone else's Z really snappy out of drifts...like coming out of it i just bounce back the other way...and ive changed my technique over and over. I guess and LSD would solve it but i would think i could at least survive one drift without ending up opposite of where i want.....

hes right about that if you have an open diff AND that paired with the Z's 8.0 degree caster, most are even higher stock....

^245's will break loose alottt easier than 275's with stock power, i wouldnt want to burn those up anyways, ***** expensive

not saying you cant drift 275's but dont be scurred!!! rev it up, dump clutch at the begining of the turn, counter-steer and just see where it takes you
