Default Bad Drift Tires

We've talked about good tires for drifting, now let's talk about the bad ones, you know, the ones that chunk out, or dont last as long.

I dont have much experience with drifting tires, but so far, I would have to say avoid the Continental ContiSport. These babies chunk out...not good drift tires. I went out one night, and took a few drifts, and JC did a couple of awesome drifts, then these tires started to fall apart quickly. DONT GET THESE.

my roomate had those on his bmw for a while, no grip at all.
kumho 712's are like racing slicks compared to these.

i second that. continentals suck monkey ass.
i did like two awesome drifts on 50%treads and a whole ring of tread blocks separated and left nice pretty black scuffs down the side of my car. they are pretty smokey though

Yeah, i too like the amount of smoke that it gives off, the cool tread blocks, but there are far better tires out there than these to drift with.
