perhaps you can still return it and get a refund or store credit. the best training aid is probably practice and the least grippy tire substitutions you can find. if you use ABS, then get some PVC to train with. learning to control your car under really hard conditions will make drifting with friends and infront of others with more grippy tires a breeze. of course this is just what i think, training in harder conditions than you would encounter in the real world will give you better results than just training in the same conditions.
