Couldn't find where this vid was posted before, sorry if it's old. Kumho has a new drifting tire that smokes red, kinda cool for show stuff.

Hell, the Ecsta 712 makes a good drifting tire, it offers almost no traction at all!

At least in the wet, when you're pushing them a bit too hard... :D

It waves a white flag, just like when you slide into a curb on the street.

Depends on if they're under an E30 being driven by an idiot or not.
