Default HPI Drift tires...

Has any one had any experience with the HPI drift tires? I kno the Yokomo tires are good, but I heard they wear out really fast and I dont really want to have to roder new tires every week. Any insight on these tires or any other drift tire would be great.

They aren't crap.. I have them and after broken in they slide very good. I'm using a CO27 PRO motor on soft springs and they get crazy angle while having minimum wear on the threads. I would reccomend them.. I have Tamiya D-types as well and they aren't as good.

Tamiya D=Softer compound=Grippy and wears down faster

HPI D=Hard compound=More slide and longer tire life

where in the world did you hear that from. Seriously man, HPI AND TAMIYA make the best treads you can find.
