LOL I'd have to borrow someone's 17's for a drift event. No way am I going to try it with stock 18s, since tires would be much more expensive too =\

I think I'd be too chicken to try drifting, I'd be scared as hell of fking up my car.

Unless I got a really good tutorial... but as it stands I know jack shyte about how to drift other than what I learned on an Xbox controller.

theres plenty of instructors, and not much you can hit, might get some cone scuffs which should rub out

If I end up going I think I should buy a different set of rim/tires. I just stuffed a set of 20" S03 Pole positions under my Z.

those are s03s smoking in the pics i posted

msand22

you must have money to burn! how often do you buy tires?

msand22

those are about $300 each arent they? I hope you get a discount! btw is your front license plate on crooked in that pic?

ihatethatbobbarker

it was only 2 laps, i drift on our factory bridgestones and falkens usually. and yeah the dealership gave me my car with a crooked plate, i complained and they told me to buy bumper plugs... but yeah i wouldnt drift on those regularly unless i had a tire sponsor

msand22

You should try the patented 'Zee-Bracket' and fill in the holes in your bumper.

also how do the falkens handle and grip compared to the so3's? what size/model falken? and you have 275/30/20 so3's right?

ihatethatbobbarker

ive never drift on the s03s so i wouldnt know, my friend was driving, mine are 275/35/19

the falkens are allright, the dunlops are my absolute favourite though.

msand22

I have done a lot of research in this category and have found that the best high performance tires overall are 1. michelin pilot ps2 2. bridgestone so3 PP 3. Goodyear GSD3 F1. but dunlop has come out with a new tire direzza dz101 that I haven't heard much about plus they don't make it in my size. let me know if you have heard anything about it or if it's the one your talking about.

ihatethatbobbarker

those are all pretty pricy for drifting, i wouldnt use any of them

the dunlops i used were $95 each on tires.com

msand22

good call. might stick to nt555's
