never drift in a parking lot when ur going 40 in the rain.... you might hit a curb.... twice
You made me choke on my morning bagel with that line.

Of course back in high school, my friend managed to do the same thing~ in an empty parking lot, in the snow, and in a Dodge Daytona... I've yet to meet anybody else who's managed to get 3 flats off of one parking barrier.

Good tires for grip?

Isn't the purpose of drifting to be in control while you have little or no traction?

to be in control after you break traction yes, but if your front tires are junky, then there ya go..... what do you think the reason for the curb incident was lol.... plus the better the tires in the back are, the better they will grip to push you forward even though you arent actually 100% gripped to the road

P.S. my advice is to get good tires for dry weather then drift in the rain... its a lot easier on your wallet, and can at times even be more fun.... its actually a lot easier on your clutch too assuming you dont have a racing clutch

drifting in the rain is significantly different from drifting on dry road though~

that reminds me of a quote I read on one of the beamer forums: "Fishing with a prostitute can be fun, but it's not exactly what you paid for."

Doesn't apply exactly in this case, but just thought I'd share...
