Default 1/8 Scale Drift Tires

I am thinking about getting a Kyosho Inferno GT2 for some minor parking lot racing. Does anyone know where I can get ahold of 1/8 scale drift tires? I have seen some 1/8 scale drift videos but can't seem to find the tires.

Why not go with a chassis that's 1/10th scale? it would be much easier.....

I guess I will wait 'till I get the car so I can take the wheels to Home Depot and try to match them up with some ABS.</p>

Leadfoot, that would be too easy. I am already building a 1/10 car but I think the bigger 1/8 looks awesome sliding sideways too. It's all about one-upping my big brother!

Hell yeah! that's works then lol its all ways fun one upping someone my neighbor has a stock sprint 2 with a brushless system because he put all his money into that I'm running a stock 15 turn motor with several upgrades to the chassis like the universal dogbones the ball differential in the rear the font one-way up front and I can still out drift him he may have a speed advantage but what good is it if your car isn't really setup for that? Ive drifted with him once he could barley keep his car on the track and when he could he kept bumping me or putting himself into a wall its so fun because I can seriously just drift circles around him!

Hey just so you know the stock inferno gt2 tires are only good for drifting they have offer no grip at all. All you have to do is pour fuel in it and fire it up. I know this because I race my inferno gt2 and I have a large inventory of 1/8 scale tiresand like I said that car is ready to drift right out of the box.
