are slicks good for drifting?

gc8 Member. slicks are not for drift, wouldn't recommend. I did tried semi slicks on 280bhp, it's all good while they cold, although when you warm them up, you get grip a lot more than you can think of, also you get higher load for clutch which is not so good mate.. I wouldn't recommend any of those.

The Verdict on the Beater It's simply too unstable and lacks enough volume to be able to catch smaller waves. If you are just looking for a fun board, that you can throw in your car, and head down to the beach whenever to bum around on, the Beater is good choice. It's compact and easy to cart around.

I spent a 10-day stint in the car with the suspension in Comfort and drive in Sport, making it both comfortable and fast, traits very rarely combined in hot hatches. Even in its most supple suspension mode, the GTI still feels nimble. There are great cars to drive, and then there are great cars to live with.

They are worth it, specially the mid-range models. I've using G-Shocks for years and exposed them to really tough conditions (saltwater, cold, sand, falls, etc.) and they really can take a beating.

On hard, smooth surfaces, the tracks will obviously have no traction issues. But they do however struggle a bit with speed. The difference in gear ratio will result in a much slower speed when riding in the same gear and RPMs compared to tires.

No slick or DR will dead hook on the street unless you have a 13 sec car, without some kind of prep. I ran a 26x10 Hoosier on the street and doing a burnout, bringing it forward 10-12 ft and then backing up in my tracks, It would still not dead hook but would move forward while spinning but not hazing the tires.

YEAH, lower vehicle with firmer suspension is better for preventing motion sickness. All subject to driver style, of course. Quit flinging top-heavy too-soft SUVs around corners!

Banned. It's not only rain that can make a road wet, and not only water that makes a road less grippy. Also, slicks, as used in racing, need to be managed through a heat cycle properly and don't work at all until they're very warm.

A car using drag radials in the rear yields a quicker ET than the same car with rear bias-ply slick and reach up to 2 mph faster quarter-mile times. However, this is only true for cars that dead hook on that radial tire. Radials are far less forgiving than bias-ply slicks.

Even though the void ratio is lower on the Terra Grapplers they are probably a better road snow tire. They are probably better on the trail where you can slip and slide a bit as long as you maintain traction.

Engine Retarders keep you from skidding when the road is slippery.

Also, steering is much easier since the back wheels are providing the power while the front wheels do the work of steering. While drifting is not recommended for most drivers, it is easier to drift with RWD than FWD or 4WD/AWD.

Basically, a few of my friends who are into drifting are saying that power steering is pretty much a necessity in order to drift properly. The reason is because of how fast you have to be able to countersteer, and how hard it is to use manual steering, and bla bla bla...

If you're competitive it's definitely worth it. It's nice for mapping buttons to the paddles so you can figure out the most convenient way to keep a certain grip on the controller at all times. Plus the joysticks are terrible on them. They all get super loose very fast.

Slick tires rock! From improving grip to reducing rolling resistance, they're more effective than treaded options on dry pavement, and those same characteristics make them better in the wet as well.
