For a stock KA, two pairs should last you all day. Maybe even one pair of fresh tires

you can definitely go through more than 2 pairs even if you’re stock KA. Depends how you utilize your 9 hours. In addition, many of the newer drifters dont anticipate there to be a difference between nelson and full track. But Full track is a tire eater comparatively since nelson is only a Left Tire eater. Take that into account as well.

Oh my. I just realized this is full track!

I will be there in a non driving capacity.

Stock KA on full track rapes tires, but it all depends on skill. When your a beginner with no clue on how to drift, the time spent at full throttle is signicantly less, so you don’t burn tires as quickly as another with the an identical setup. The type of diff you have comes into play also. A vlsd will one wheel peel all day.

What do you guys do for tires? buy new every time or try to source a tire shop that has some used in sizes you can run? i think im just going to grab two new nankangs. but that shit aint cheap. i mean nankangs are cheap. but it adds up cant do this every event! what do you guys do.

new tires will last you 10-30 laps on nelson, half that on the full track. ive had used pairs last me 2-5 laps on neslon. used tires can be tricky to find if you use 17 or 18" wheels. new tires have much better grip that will give you better speed and control while sliding.

How true is this on an SR car? I’ve drifted a few platforms with welded diffs and clutch style LSDs, but this will be my first time drifting my s14 on a VLSD. It’s street driven, but I’m seriously considering going welded if I’ll be drifting it as CSCS this year…which I will.

Vlsd works fine. Just has trouble locking instantly and on command.

For the money. I don’t see why anyone who drifts wouldn’t atleast swap a vlsd out for a welded.

I burned my vlsd out on 205 federal 595’s on a stock SOHC motor. Maybe i am biased, but i think they are utter shit.

Yea theres one on the side of the shed behind the bleacher s. Though it helps to bring your own 12v so you dont constantly have to taxi the car back and forth.

40 in the rears hot or cold? 40 cold will skyrocket when you heat em up.
