Default The Right Tires....

Okay, so i've figured from experience, that PVC and ABS tires work like running on ice covered in KY Jelly and Stage D's from HPI, even with ultra-hard inserts, still act almost like regular touring tires. Anybody ever try either of the Yokomo drift tires? Any suggestions besides tape?

I run ABS and I have no problems with it. Once you run them for a while and learn them you can drift like a pro.

Plastic tyres are best fun, rubber is a car wrecker

I'm looking for something in between rubber and ABS/PVC compounds. Tape worked the best for me so far, but that's pointless, so I'm looking for suggestions.

Well I'm bored so here's the car.. Blurry, huh?











It's got a super stock tz and adjustable front tie rods with oil-shocks. Made me poop once or twice.

If you're looking for something between rubber and ABS, the Yokomo's may be right for you. I notice the Yokomo's have slightly more traction than ABS.

hey thanks, you're the first good answer I've gotten. Which ones are better, the ones with four rings, or just the one big one.

Four rings? You mean two... The Zero-One's are the dual ring, and the single ringed tired are the Zero-One R's. The R's wear down a bit slower than the regular tires, and they provide more slip. Just be sure to add a little negative camber in the front to get some grip. Although I run ABS since it's cheap and easily attained where I live, I would run Zero-One R's in an instant if I could afford it.
