What's the best tire pressure to set when trying to learn drift?



For stock tires...


Thanks

 

I generally do anywhere from 26-30 psi (cold). Depending on the grip of the tire.

 

Cool, I think that was the pressure that I was running ,
It was easier to slide my car during that time.
Right now I am running 35psi cold...too high I guess

I will try to change it to 26psi and see how the car feel

 

Just got back from a weekend where I actually got a chance to play with tire pressures a bit. I found that running a really high pressure (40psi front, 38 rear) worked well for the size I was running: 235/50/17 front, 245/45/17 rear

If I was using a lower profile tire with stiffer sidewalls I'd use less pressure, but with my setup and stock suspension it was causing the tires to roll-over A LOT, and caused very uneven tire wear. Depending on skill level it could be a good or bad thing but it did result in a much lower grip level. I personally like having more grip for higher speeds and stuff, but it did save me on the tire wear, and it is was much more even.

If you've got lower profile tires, then Topics setup works best with the lower pressure.

Happy Drifting.

 

Yeah... in the rear i used to run 245/40, then i switched to 255/35, and now i think im going to run 265/35. i tested them last tuesday and it felt great, so ill probably stick with that. the fronts were 225/40, and now are 235/40.

 

I am still running with stock tires.

F 225/45/18 R 235/45/18

Zfastest you suggest me to run (40psi front and 38 rear) when tires are warm ?
or is it cold air pressure?
