Status: offline 		I recently bought a set of Yokomo drift tires and I tested them out today, but the tires just don't drift anything like PVC or ABS.
I have the tire that is rubber and is a very hard compound.
The tire just doesn't handle and drift as good as PVC or ABS, but I would like to know if anyone has these tires and what advice could you give me about the tires.
Will the tires drift better after they are worn down heaps or when they are hot?

Here's a picture of the drift tires

Status: offline 		There Drift Radials.. a 19T motor or a 19Tx2 will get them sliding

They are also good for Nitro Drifters..

I use them and they slide fine with my 19Tx2
