Now back to the tires

I just started drifting with my s13. and when I got the car it had some used PEPboys tires(225/45 R15) Wide as ***t, but it was easier to drift then compared to my new falkens(205/60 R15). The tires were more respnsive due to the shorter sidewalls, and the dispite the wider size it was easier to brake traction. I don't have an LSD though, and they only lasted a couple of good drift practices and died one wet parking lot day. I have a pic on my site in the modifications page. http://home.bellsouth.net/P/PwP-miamiDrift

I would definately get some used tires for the back so you get used to sliding around then go for some new tires all around (and be challenged).

Yes You CAN. If I can do it with a stock 240sx then so can you. Just check three things.

1)Make sure your brakes work good.
2)Make sure Your seat belts and headlights work good.
3)Make sure you have money for tires.

Good luck
