Though one question I ask you guys, "do you think they would have their place on the rears of drift cars or not?"


I remember when my cousin brought over a series VII RX-7 that came straight off the boat. I took it for a spin, the thing was crazy! I thought that it had some crazy drift setup 'coz the thing would be sideways everywhere (I wasn't driving it nicely).
Anyway, when I parked it, I got out and checked the wheels to see if there was crazy camber or something. To my horror, I realised that I was thrashing the crap out of a car with retreads. Nearly killed my cousin for not telling me...

Anyway, to answer the question, they don't grip too well, which makes you require less balls to "drift" a car. But think about it, would you want it to delaminate while you're seriously sideways?!
