Drift Tyres

[Johnny_K]

For my old NA setup i had RE001 all round with 40 psi upfront (38 to 36 if i wanted more front grip) and bout 45psi rear lol goes like a dream most the time lol

those bridgestones wont last long with your sr20 setup haha

They simply heat up too much and delam, they arent made to be spun excessively and put under that much stress. They are a way to soft compound to be drifting on at around 80 treadwear.

Look to use what the D1 and MSC drivers use, top level street tyres such as the RE01R, Dunlop Direzza D1, Advan Neova etc. treadwear around the 150~180 mark.

You can get cheaper taiwan brands that make similar style tyres for much cheaper and that are available here so you could give them a crack.

Of course not everyone has that much coin so i'd just try some RE001 adrenalin bridgestones and see if thats enough grip.

my semis only delamed because they were worn out..
but they had good grip and make heaps of smoke pity about the cost tho haha

going to be trying the kuhmo semi race ku36 i think it is that im using on the front they should be pretty good on the back for skids

[lloydious86]

how much do you get the ku36's for? im using the ku31's and theyre sweet last me 6-8laps and havent delamed one yet after about 5-6 track rounds, but i wana go faster lol

Thanx arron!!! may have to look into toyo's proxxes 4 or direzzas just wanna spend slightly over 100 a tyre dont wana go much over that gets too $$$

speak to alex he can get toyo's for just over a hundred. not 100% sure but the person he gets his tyres off will give you a good deal if you get them thru alex.

I ran some RE001's one night with 40psi in them, it felt like ice and it was around 30degrees outside. I like the feel of 32psi for dry, and about 28 in the wet.

We put 70psi in a mate DR30 running Nankangs for a burnout the otherday. Almost instant blow out haha. Was some funny shit.

[driftke70]

higher psi is usually better for wet grip especially in straight line stuff

[s14seriesII]

what ? wet weather usually requires lower pressures i run 44psi in road tyres on the street and in the wet lowered the front to 32 for best grip

and the ku36 i think is around 130 or 140 a tyre

[driftke70]

you get to soft and the tyres dont apply enough pressure to squeeze water through the tread, it only reverts back around when you put so much air in the tyre starts to balloon .
