it depends on the car. Most of the cars I drift with are around 300-500 hp (I find the courses to be too big with too many long straights to drift slower cars..I get bored), so I ususally use either slicks or hard slicks or whatever, depending on the settings I use. Sometimes I find the car is gripping to much so I'll switch to a tire with less traction. It all depends. I only use simulation tires on my ae86 and my s13 silvia.
