Default Winter Tires for Drifting

Are they ok for sliding around? They seem to have more rubber, and the compound is harder, which is what Im looking for drifting, economically.

Why spend the money on winter tires? Go to Wal-Mart and buy their cheapest tires - work great! Super-hard compound, lots of tread, and cheap as hell ($55 a piece for brand new tires on my 240sx).

^ those are too grippy for the rear.
Walmart brand...I rather stick with PepBoys brand, the Futuras.

And alot of used tire places stock up on winter tires. This is florida, no snow, so they should be cheaper.

dude, you want at least some grip in the rear and winter tires offer none

dont be a pussy, you can go faster, have more angle, and get more bitches when you have stickier rear tires.

Didn't you drift with charlie's old continental winter tires at dday 5?
I know some grip is good, but not too much. So you saying winter tires offer no grip? Like none?

LOL, I had studded tires on the rear when I was stationed in N. Dakota. Thoses studs were gone quick. Yea, they have no grip but tread lasted longer.
