Do they have instructors there since I have never Drifted and honestly have no clue how to but I am very interested.

I'd probably put my stock tires on for that. Do I only need to worry about running down my tires in the rear or the front as well?

cool, so what about the Front Tires? Can I keep my Toyos on for this or do I also need to change those to the stock tires?

it will wear them down but not as fast, if they are fresh you can go to at least 3 drift days on one set of fronts, roughly

honestly, i would only use the stock fronts. the stock re040s chunk up really bad when they get hot. i would reccomend sonething like a falken st115 or somehting of that nature.

good luck and hope to see u out there
