Best drift tires for learning?

[iggy]

hey guys got my car out today and found a few tenis courts to have a play on...i was using 4 Solid plastic tires, and well yeah that didnt work cant even keep the car from spinning out when cornering nor can i even get it to slide without spinning out......

So what tires did you guys use when learning??

Cheers, iggy

allright pay day here comes new tires....should i invest in CS instead of 50/50 while im at it?

[PROJECTZ3R0]

Learn 50/50 first I think ( I haven't used a c/s car yet ) I just like to think of it as a stepping stone

Please correct me if anyone with a c/s set up thinks differently

Its a bit of a tricky one bros.., although 50/50 helps you learn the fundamentals alot easier if you get straight into CS you dont really know any better and with enough wheel time you get used to your setup anyway. the driving style is totally different between the two, hence why alot of CS drifters find it hard to go back to 50/50.

Also CS is pretty easy to get into these days as bolt on kits are readily available online, where as in the old days it was all about grabbing parts from different chassis and modding to fit, its definately a big step up from 50/50 theres a bit more adjustment in regards to tweaking your suspension etc but alot more fun and rewarding once youve cracked it.

I usualy run pipe rings and save my Driftechs for best.
Pipe is only slightly more slippery than Driftechs.
It depends how good at DIY you are

Agree with both the previous posts.

Only extra thing i'd say is from my own observations that it seems people pick c/s up faster if they jump straight in, and dudes that have done 50/50 for a while take a little longer to adjust. But we all end up in the same place at the end of the day so either or.......lol.
