Yokomo makes drift tires, but for a budget tire - get either ABS or PVC plumbing pipes and cut them to width of your rims.

RE: DRIFTING
Those tires could work, I heard Yokomo makes very good ones. ABS is just the material of plumbing pipe you can find at hardware stores. It's black, and people say it's better than PVC both in longetivity and sliding. ABS is always cheaper than special tires you buy.

RE: DRIFTING
3.3 N4tec to me seems too much power for drifting lol.
you dont want to break the engine by overheating it?
FYI- dont use abs on nitro, you will overheat.
I suggest some rubber drifting.
HPI stage-D or Tamiya Type D tires.

RE: DRIFTING
yup Gratou's right....you'll want to buy the hpi drift tires...i have them on my nitro and they are perfect...they dont wear too bad either....i had abs tires on at first and i burnt some servos and such...i put the hpi's on my electric and i work really hard to drift and my battery didnt last as long....so in short....electric=abs nitro=hard compound stage d tire
