about the tires, do u just put rings of abs on the tires? or is the whole tire made out of abs? and rally racing is kinda the same thing... u still get to go sideways

they aren't too much alike, because in rally racing speed is what matters, but in drifting, it doesn't matter how fast you go really, and the abs tires won't get you much traction to get up to speed. and yes, you take a tire/rim to the hardware store, look at the ABS they have and find one that'll fit over your wheel/tire.

a little harsh cssdev, but totally true.
tom, run a search for your questions on the forum. i guarantee that you'll find a WEALTH of information about everything you need to know, more than once. i know for a fact that i posted a nice process for making abs tires at LEAST once. pick a certain forum that you think might have your answer in it (like this drifting forum), add it to your "my forums" list and read it until you've read every post in it. if you still havent found an answer to your problem, post a new thread (you've had some experience with that already). also, its easier to keep up to date with only a few forums rather than 10 or 20 different ones, so pick them with a little disgression.

You'll need more than slick tires to drift, they simply have too much traction to drift with.
