    My first drift day approaches and I'm gonna look to get my car ready so I'm wondering what tyres to go for. I run 7x14 rims, 2.5 deg neg camber on the front and 4.5 deg rear and the suspension and ARBs are set pretty hard for track use.

    I was gonna run some 185/55 A032R's on the front for a bit of grip but anyone got any recommendations for the rear? I have some shit 185/55 Firestones and I might be able to rustle up some 175/60 uncle wong budget specials. The other alternatives are A032's or 48's which I have a few of.

    The car is only 1000kg and so reasonably light on the arse end, so with all the neg camber I have on the rear, do I need to stress about have skinny no grip tyres on there too much or can I just whack any old crap on and pump 'em up nice and hard? Any body else run little skateboard wheels like mine?

    'Scuse my ignorance by the way... setting the car up to NOT grip goes totally against everything I've done on it in the last couple of years :wack: :D
