Tires that most good drifters use?

[Couchyy]

I always drift with tire wear it not that hard for me and its alot more fun

This^. I open lobbies with fuel and tire wear on and people always complain and ask for "No Damage". People are no fun .

What about drifting when raining ? I've tried comfort mediums, they are okay for wet surfaces, I wonder what tire would be best with 100% water on track ???

Confort Hards

Good question, been wondering that too, I tried Comfort Hards which ended in endless slides, than sports hards which didn't feel much different when drifting... actually the same, since the lose more grip in the wet than comforts, at least that's how it feels.

Drift your normal drift tyres. CH tyres on a wet Suzuka is great fun. The increased slide means even with cars with low hp you can link up the esses. Practicing on wet is a god way to learn to adjust to different surfaces.

I personally do not care what tires I'm using, and the...requirement general say is that you should use Comfort Hards.

I don't mind using them, but on the cars I mainly drift these days (McLaren F1, Saleen S7) you basically NEED either Comfort Softs or Sport Hards. (I use Racing Hards with the F1, it is just that bad...)

Try them all out, and see what you like...

LMMFAO dude come on really I drift a 800+ hp Ford GT on comfort hards and have all the control I need you little cats need to learn how to tune your cars and how to drive em I can tandem with an s13 with this car ^

You must be either totally new to drifting, or you haven't hung around with experienced drifters yet. I've seen someone drift with a FGT on a YouTube video before, but if you actually want to improve on your drifting then you shouldn't be using these type of cars. When drifting, you will want to avoid exotic cars and choose cars that would be better suited for tuning.

And you should care what tyres you're using, as it means the difference between drifting like this:



And so-called 'drifting' like this:

The main diference between CH and CM is not how many traction each one have while drifting, because there is no huge diference between each, but the grip/slip curve, because the CM is much more unpredictble and (in my opinion) incorrect. So certain sections where you drift ok with some effort using CH, probably will bring bad surprises while using CM because the grip does´t goes away when you expect and it comes back earlier than expected.

Nobody needs to agree with myself, im just telling my experience using CM until be sure that is not the best option.

I agree 100% .cm have too much grip for me and if you watch people using them it don't look as realistic as ch

Realism comes from tuning. You're probably watching people with insane camber/toe angles and ridiculous springrates to counteract all the extra traction they don't know how to handle.

I use CS on my Tom's Chaser and it feels very natural. I also have a CH setting for the car, but it's not nearly as exciting. I wouldn't try to drift an AE86 with CS's, but for certain cars it works very well.

CH is the general rule of thumb for tandems and battles, but don't let anyone tell you a specific tire can't or shouldn't be used for drifting. That's just ignorant. As I've said before, I even have a drift car with racing slicks on it (a Chevelle 454) that I use just for fun sometimes. I'd never take it to a competition and can't do full-lock drifts in it, but it's a hoot to drive.
