I use Comfort Soft(AD07, RE-01R) because there Street Radials, Comfort Hards Same as Comfort Soft but worn out grip Street Radials, and I use Sports Hard since it's also a Street Radial level(AD08, Potenza RE070)
Which TIRES do you use drifting?

I use anything comfort depending on the car's power. While i'll usually run CH/CH, if i'm going for cleanliness, i'm running any of the comfort tires to match the car's power.

Comfort Hards is what I used, and I don't have any Hachi Rokus at the moment but would give it a shot when I get one.

Cool man. I mentioned the AE86 because, like i said before in this thread, i experienced a room filled with AE86 only in CM and... its doable, but its too stressing to worry so much into the speeds and decreasing the angles to do the correct lines achieving the right cliping points...

Yep it's true. A Hachi Roku popped up in my UCD a while after I replied you, tuned it & tested it on CH & it was sweet. Put CM on it & had to sacrifice a lot of angle. Guess CM isn't good for everything.

Personally i see comfort hards as a gimmick, its what you use when you want a kubblewagon to drift.
I drift my ae86 on sports hards with no sacrifice of angle or sports medium with minimal loss of angle, you simply enter the corner faster, its more intense. Comfort hards bore me, you slide so slow
If it feels like you have to much grip... your not driving hard enough

Sports Tyres are just a way of covering your ass because you lack throttle control...

Yes, that exactly what I was saying. Thank you for the comfermation lol.
I didn't waste the post, look at the response's I'v got lol. Im just trying to bring ballance to a very one sided argument.
To those who care, I can drift on C Hards, iv been on the drift trial scoreboard in ae86 a few times now atleast. But I only say this so you know i'm not just talking out my ass, I, after trying both, genuinely beleive comfort med's & Hards are very boring.
IMO its one long controlled burnout... I like drifting with speed and inertia.
Besides all that, were basicly arguing the differance between american drift events VS Japanese drift events. Both are a respectable skill in thier own right, I just think the japanese way is so much more skillfull and exiting.

Yah! I got someone who goes with the "realism" type of tires for drifting. I don't understand why people use CH. CS and SH are the actual Street Radials tires you gotta use in Drifting. CH just seem so y'know, auto gripless Street Radial tires. I don't hate CH drifters though.

Comfort Mediums definitely show the right grip levels of a proper drift setup. Sports tires are more street car time attack level of grip. The picture says it all as well... the sports tires are semi-slicks.

I use what ever provides the most control for the car I'm using.

Just an observation; Comfort Hard is now winning by nearly 400% over all other tires.

Sounds like someone has a hard time controlling their car.
I actually tried sports hard the other day and man, people call ch boring?? The car corrects itself, what's the point?

not since I put some grip under the front end. been cruising the drift lobbies and have had a few people ask for the setup on my new 8C. All stock except exhaust(cat and manifold included), clutch and flywheel(i doubt the custom wheels count) tires are the stock sports hards as well and they were all good with it til they heard i was using them. But, I was holding all the same lines and angles at the same or higher speeds, I even managed a few clean sideways overtakes. Just like every other discipline of driving different people prefer different setups.

So I read somewhere you use racing slicks...
Not really been a member longer than you have and participated in drifting on gt4 until the sub forum died completely and then kept to my self until i got gt5. GT4 was the same story for me I used what ever felt right on the car. Ive heard that gt4 tunes work decent on gt5 maybe i should rebuild and post my Honda Element from gt4 thatd be fun.
