What specifically destroys drift tires and how to get more laps out of a set? I always want to get the most laps out of a set of drift tires possible, and I work hard to do it. Harder than most people realize. I designed Lone Star Drift rules around the idea. I designed Lone Star Drift media around the idea. I think that if everyone tries to become a Formula D driver in a non Formula D format, that they will burn themselves out drifting far before they should, while causing a ton of stress and heart ache in their hobby. Crazy competition drifting setups have their place, but you should know where that time and place is in order to utilize your money to the best possible level.
So in this episode we check out the tire wear on a bunch of Kenda Tires and a few others, and talk about the blistering of tires due to too much heat. We talk about bad alignments and how to fix them. We talk about tire life in general. We talk about why too hard of a compound is a bad idea because the tires can't take the heat. We talk about a lot of things. Typically this refers to 240sx, e36, e46, 350z, g35, and those types of chassis from low horsepower to moderate horsepower. Please enjoy!
