[himynamebebrian]

What are the best tires for drifting other than the drift kit from rs. would i need to buy rims and tires if so sizes.

put hard slicks on the back and soft slicks on the front :-P

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

you can just cover your tires with tape

where could i get"hard slicks" and "soft slicks?"

[XMDrifter]

it's a tire kit that was an upgrade, but if you put soft fronts and hard rears, then you'll just be doing donuts all day long.
i recommend taking your stock tire/wheel set and coating the tire with something like nail polish. make sure your tires are on the rim before you apply the coating or else the coating will crackle and become uneven when you try to stretch it onto your wheels.

another thing you can do is buy 1 inch diameter ABS pipe (it can be found at most hardware stores. if you can't find it, then get pvc) cut half tire width rings of pvc and snugly push them onto the front and backside of your wheel. this makes it so you don't have to take the ridge off in case you still want to go back to regular tires. the tires will rub for a while before they thin out (if you run on smooth concrete, it helps with the "break in" period)
pipe is what most 1:10th scale drifters use also, (although you might find some who drift with "drift rings" by Yokomo

is there anything i could buy at like atomicmods or xi i don't have nail polish and i don't have any stock rims or tires either. ha

[Riellyc]

Under wheels and tires on atomicmods it is possible to get ridgeless rims and a drifting set to use on your car.You need ridgeless rims in order to fit the drift tires over and make sure to get 2 sets of rims and tires as they only come in 2's usually. Make sure to get the correct size on each also.

[WhiteCharisma]

i bought the 4 pack of 8.5mm drift tires and they are way better than the RS drift tires. if you already bought RS drift tires, you can use those same rims with the drift tires instead of buying atomic ridge less rims that break easily. or at least get delrin rims or if you wana go all out get aluminum ridge less wheels.
