wow, old thread… in one year DD that car i went through a set of rears a month, but i was street drifting aswell… i would expect under normal conditions if you take even right and left turns you would go through tires at least twice as fast as normal ---

if u wanna weld ur diff that means u want to drift… so chances are ull be wearing tires so fast by drifting u wont even notice the extra wear caused by the diff on day to day driving… so who cares really lol
