Default Yokomo Drift Radials Vs ABS

I have seen a lot of posts about the Yokomo drift rings and such but has anyone tried this tire and how does it compare to ABS. The two things I don't like about ABS are that it is loud when you drive and that it is a little slow. Would this tire be any different?

It'll be like driving a gripper dude, why bother, the point about plastic tyres is maximum drift time/fun for minimal damage

i wish i could say ive used abs but i cant find any.


electrical tape seems pretty good though on those yokomo drift tyres but i guess electrical tape on any tyre is ok.

i tried electrical tape on pvc, its a little better than just pvc but still no where near as good as tape on rubber tyres.

If ya can't find ABS try using PE, it's thicker and harder to cut but wonderful to drift with
