Default RE: HPI T Drift Tire Question?

I'm not sure why (unless you're super-bored) you would want to do all this with different compound drift tires, but if you want drift tires with the best slip/grip ratios, look up Raikou Drift Tires.
Their DXPE's and D68's are excellent. The Slicks, Rinias and Dyuaros are same as Sushis, so I don't think you would be satisfied with those, but between the DXPE's and D68's, they will accomodate just about any surface you will run on.
The DXPE's are great all-around tires, and the D68's are a bit harder, and are a bit limited, but Ican tell you this.....You WON'T be wearing them out anytime soon. They last and last! And Last. Did I say they last?! They are the longest wearing drift tires I've ever had.
The best part is, compare them to a full set of HPIA-Drifts, ANDa full set of HPIT-Drifts. For the price of a full set of A-Drifts, you can have TWOFULLSETSof Raikou DXPE's, and still have some bucks left, and by the time you wear out (and I'll tell you from personal experience, I STILLhaven't worn out my first set of DXPE's and they're almost two years old!) the DXPE's, you will have wasted a gangload of cash on HPIA-drifts. A-Drifts are not cheap! The D68's are even longer-lasting!

Give them a try. Then you'll find out how much of a waste of time all this other was (unless of course, you were super-bored!).
