Status: offline 		I am not sure what you mean ??? the Tamiya Drift Tyres are the hardest to drift with as I think they grip too much....
Without going to a street radial you cant really get a tyre that will offer more grip and still slip...

Status: offline 		True what the guys are saying tams are the grippyest to buy.
PVC will offer no traction at all sounds like you need a bigger power motor for those long drifts which motor do you use now m8? if its stock maybe try around a 19turn mod motor for speed drifting

Status: offline 		oops didnt see part of that, yea PVC is good for P-Lot and if you add glue that works but you gotta re-glue a lot so yeah HPI makes hard compound tires for drifting and i love em, good luck drifting at fast speeds lol....good luck though.

Status: offline 		Try the yokomo HG hard rubber tires. The yokomo ones with the plastic ring in the middle is not to bad as well you can get some speed with it and roast the hell out of the tires as well, good all around. But i heard good things about the yokomo High grip drift rubber tires, should be getting them in by the ending of next week. I run a 19t as welll

Status: offline 		Well i tried the yokomo HG rubber drift tires, THEY SUCK!!. Grip too much, i think it would work for nitro though. I am running a 19T with a upgraded esc, I gona try those tires with my Redcat brushless kit soon, but i think it still will grip..
