What makes a good drift tire?
What Are Drifting Tires? – Drifting is a sport that requires the driver to drive at relatively high speeds while cornering to allow the tires to skid and slide along relatively large distances. But this sport is quite merciless and degrading for regular tires.
- Which is why the world has invented special drifting tires, and it gets better.
- The best drifting tires typically feature shallow and almost bald tread patterns, with wide grooves, strong midribs, and hard vulcanized rubber that lends strength and durability.
- When drifting becomes a daily norm for racers like you and me alike, regular tires can falter and fail to provide the performance required.
Which is why tires especially optimized for drifting are necessary if you want to get anywhere in that sport. Drifting tires, as unique and exclusive as they may sound, are not that hard to find, but finding the best tire that will give maximal performance and durability is the tough part.

Why do tires get locked?
About 6 days ago i began to hear a slight grinding sound coming from the rear of my car. And every day the sound was becoming more dense.2 days ago the back tire began dragging and shifting to the right and causing a louder grinding sound. Today the entire tire locked up on the back passenger side My car has 170 miles. My car has an automatic transmission. The likely cause is a failed wheel bearing unless something exceptional has caused the brake caliper to lock the brake rotor. By far, the most common cause of what you are describing is simply bearing failure though. Repair can be obtained by requesting wheel bearing replacement,
A certified mechanic would be dispatched and, once it is confirmed that the bearing has failed, replacement would take place right at your location. Please let us know if we can resolve this for you.

How do you increase traction on a racing tire?
I’ve gotten emails telling me that some readers don’t fully understand how to put all of the information we present into a package that will help them improve their car and give them the opportunity to win. I understand that all of this can be somewhat confusing if you don’t know the ultimate goals.
We ran this information by you in the July ’09 issue and decided we should present it again with a new title and approach. If you read this before, read it again and try to get the point that all we do is toward making the tires happy. If you’ve not seen this before, I can tell you that what is presented here is some of the most important and meaningful information you’ll ever get anywhere.
When we begin to understand how various settings and procedures affect the amount of traction in our race cars, we can better prepare the car for racing. What we need is traction control, not the electronic kind, but an approach to our design and setup of the car that will increase traction.
The following is an attempt at helping you understand the most basic influences that affect any race car’s performance and limit how fast it will go through the turns. Knowing those will help you build more traction. With more traction, we can brake harder, go faster through the turns and accelerate harder and faster off the turns.
Everything we do with race car setup, outside engine prep, aero tweaking, and driveline technology, is connected with trying to develop more traction. Traction enhancing technology has grown in recent times. We have collectively learned what the tires want and somewhat how to give them the opportunity to maintain grip with the racing surface as much as the laws of physics will allow.
- Let’s face it, there are limits to everything in this physical world, so we go in search of finding the ultimate limit.
- We try to learn to recognize when we get to the limit so we can stop looking lest we go backwards.
- The principle of stopping when you’re ahead is true in developing a good handling package and remains true when developing the best traction package.
Know when you’ve gone far enough. The 99 percent rule applies here. If you have the fastest car in the field, any change you make has a 99 percent chance of slowing you down. The word package is an important one, because we might well be using several different approaches at the same time to enhance traction.
They rarely interfere with each other and each one will add a little to the package. Collectively, they can add up to a marked improvement in available traction while under power. Tires Are The Key It has been said many times before by most authors of racing technology that everything we do related to chassis setup comes down to making the tires work harder.
Tires are the ultimate connection between the car and the racing surface. Far more racers have been disqualified for illegal tires than any other infringement. It’s because improvement to grip represents the most gain in performance. The concept of tire performance is always at the forefront when trying to understand ways to improve the overall performance in our race car.
- It is again at the very top of the list when we discuss traction.
- Listed here are seven areas of influence that directly affect the amount of traction that a set of dirt or asphalt tires will develop: Vertical Loading Increasing the amount of vertical loading (weight) on the tire increases traction, but in a non-linear way.
That is to say that as we increase loading on a tire, it will gain traction, but not in exact multiples. If a tire has “X” amount of traction with 400 pounds on it, the traction will be less than double as we apply 800 pounds of loading to it. The amount of traction will be less than 2 times X.
- Contact Patch The size and cross sectional loading of the contact patch helps determine how much traction we will have for a particular tire.
- An added effect related to the contact patch and traction involves grooving and siping with dirt tires and will be discussed later on.
- Reducing the air pressure will usually increase the size of the tire contract patch which would seem to enhance traction, but excessively low or high pressures may reduce the loading on portions of the tire so that the total loading of the tire is reduced and we end up with less available traction for that tire.
There is an optimum operating air pressure for each tire that will offer maximum contact patch area and equal loading across the width of the patch. Camber also affects the size and cross sectional loading of the contact patch. The correct camber angle compensates for the deflection of the tire sidewalls as the lateral force is applied when we turn the car.
- More or less camber than what would be ideal means that one side of the tire will support more load than the other and this also reduces traction.
- Chemical Makeup The chemical makeup of the compound of the rubber helps to determine how much traction is available from a tire.
- A softer tire will provide more traction, but the maximum amount of traction that can be utilized over a long period of time concerns how the tire holds up to heat and wear.
A tire that is a little harder may sometimes hold up better and be faster toward the end of the race when the tires have built up a lot of heat and are well worn after a number of laps. The way a softer tire grips better is in the way it conforms to the track surface irregularities.
A harder tire will ride over the small dips and depressions in the asphalt or dirt while a more compliant tire will fill those areas to create more surface contact area that is riding on the track. There is a fine line between being soft enough to fill the gaps and being too soft and causing the rubber to peel off and cause excessive wear.
Racing tire companies are constantly experimenting with compounds to make the tire stick better while still maintaining a decent life span. Angle of Attack The amount of traction available from a tire can actually be enhanced simply by increasing its angle of attack relative to the direction of the car, but only up to a point.
From straight ahead, we can turn the wheel and with each degree of angle of deviation from the direction of travel, the traction in the tire increases. There is a point we reach where the gain is reduced and we approach the limit of attack angle that the tire can handle. Once that point is reached, going beyond causes a sudden loss of grip and traction falls off drastically.
The tire will then slide across the track surface. This principle is true of all four of our tires whether they are the front or rear tires. We will provide more on this subject later. Equal Loading We have talked a lot about trying to achieve a balance in your setup, but what does that mean exactly? Balance in the dynamic sense is when you have both ends of the car working together and trying to do the same thing.
In a cornering situation, doing the same thing all comes down to wanting to roll to the same angle. All of what a suspension system is influenced by comes down to a simple, but comprehensive final result, a roll angle that the system is trying to end up at. It is the matching of the desires of the front and rear suspensions that causes the correct transfer of loads during cornering.
What we get out of that matching of roll angles is the best loading of all of the tires in combination that will yield the most traction, period. Here’s why. An opposing pair of tires (tires on the same axle, at the same end of the car) will develop maximum traction when they are equally loaded.
- That is a generally true statement that has been made many times in the past in countless publications.
- A car that is not as fast as others, but neutral in handling, probably does not have a dynamically balanced setup where both ends are working together.
- An example of this is when the rear suspension is trying to roll to a greater angle than the front.
Excess load will be transferred from the left front to the right front causing more unequal loading of the front tires and therefore less traction. The car would be tight under this scenario, but to make it neutral in handling, we reduce the crossweight, which unloads the LR and RF making both ends less equally loaded and therefore resulting in less traction for both ends.
The car will be neutral in handling, but slower through the turns. Track Configuration The shape of the track for both dirt and asphalt can influence the available traction in several different ways. We need to know a little about how the track is banked, how the banking angle is changing entering and coming off the corners and how the radius of the turn might be changing.
A highly banked racetrack is very forgiving when it comes to needing traction for accelerating off the corners. There is so much added loading on the tires from the mechanical downforce of the banking and associated lateral forces, that many times the tires are loaded to the extent that we can’t break them loose under normal conditions with a balanced setup.
- The tracks where we worry about getting off the corners are the ones that are flatter and with less surface grip.
- Also, the severity of change in banking angle of the racing surface in the transitions of the track where we are braking into and accelerating off the corners can cause changes to the pitch angle of the chassis that works to unload one or more tires.
This can cause more unequal loading and thereby reduce traction. A track that goes from high banking to low banking fairly quickly can cause the left rear tire to unload quickly making the car loose. There are two ways this can happen. One is when the outside edge of the track drops in elevation and the right front tire follows the drop-off, load will be reduced at the left rear tire causing loss of traction in that tire if the shock rebound setting is too high.
- The other problem occurs when the inside edge of the track rises up to match the elevation of the outside edge of the track.
- As the left front tire rises up, the LF and RR pair of tires becomes more loaded momentarily causing loss of loading in the opposing pair of tires.
- The loss of crossweight percent (RF to LR) makes the car lose traction in the rear.
A track that has a decreasing radius in the latter portion of one of the turns can cause a car to develop a loose condition at that point. Usually, older tracks that were originally dirt and then paved retain a straight front stretch and a rounded out back “straightaway.” This “D” shape causes Turns 1 and 4 to be a smaller radius than Turns 2 and 3 for that reason.
- So, Turn 4 is difficult to accelerate off of due to the decreasing radius.
- Remember we said that traction increases for a set of opposing tires when we increase the angle of attack (simply put, this is when we turn the steering wheel more).
- If the car is neutral in and through the middle of the turns, then as we approach the tightest portion of the turn past midway, where the radius is less, we need to turn the steering wheel more and that produces more front traction than rear traction.
The balance we enjoyed through the middle of the turn is now upset and the car becomes loose just when we are getting back to the throttle. This causes loss of rear traction. We will study ways to compensate for this later. The Racing Surface The surface we race on largely determines the amount of traction available and we will look at dirt and asphalt tracks separately.
- On dirt tracks, the amount of moisture dictates the amount of grip the track gives us for the most part.
- Bumps, grooves, banking angles, and the overall radius all help determine how much grip is available for traction in the corners.
- The setup related to shocks, springs, and front and rear geometry help determine how much traction will be available for a certain set of conditions.
On asphalt tracks, and even some “dirt” tracks that have been oiled to the point of almost being asphalt, the surface is more consistent and other than holes or bumps and rises in the surface, we can expect the grip to be the same over the course of the event.
Flatter banking and older asphalt dictates the need for more traction control efforts. Conclusion Now that we have some kind of understanding of just what affects traction in our race car’s tires, we need to think out our setups so that we can use that information to enhance the overall amount of traction in our tires.
Much of what we present month to month deals with the components and methods we can use to promote balance in our setups. As you have read above, when we select the correct spring rates, front and rear roll center locations, shock settings, and load distribution, we will then enjoy the most traction our car is capable of.
Engine Torque Promotes Equal Loading There is one effect that helps promote traction that every stock car has, but few realize, it’s the effect of engine torque. When we get back on the throttle, the torque from the rotation of the engine, through the driveshaft, tries to rotate the whole rear end in a counter clockwise direction when viewed from the rear.
This action, or force, loads the left rear tire as well as the right front. When those two corners are more loaded, the crossweight percent goes up and the car gets tighter. Also, if the RR tire was supporting more weight than the LR tire, then with this effect, the two rear tires would be more equally loaded providing more traction.
A question often asked is why the car does not get loose immediately when we gas it up if the rear tires are already providing all of their available traction keeping the car off the wall. The introduction of power would cause the tires to lose traction if it were not for the added affect of the engine torque.
There is no way to enhance this effect and the magnitude is dependent on the amount of torque the engine develops at a given rpm verses the width of the rear tires. The wider the rear track width, the less effect torque will have on adding load to the LR.
As a driver turns the steering wheel, the front tires develop an angle of attack relative to the direction of travel of the car. The more the wheel is turned, the greater the angle of attack. With more angle of attack, the front end gains traction up to a point. This is how a driver can compensate for a tight car.
Steering angle and steering input are ways we determine how neutral a setup is.

How to Drift in GTA 5? – 
Drifting in GTA 5 A drift is visually very impressive and can often be the best part of a street race in GTA 5. However, do keep in mind that when playing a race online, you should always break early into a corner and not drift. Drifting can often result in loss of speed and if not executed properly will often result in your car being spun out and facing the wrong direction and lose time.
Accelerate up to a decent speed when approaching a turn.Ease into the turn by releasing the accelerate button, do not press the brake/reverse key as it will kill momentum.Turn into the corner by pressing the correct direction.Press the Handbrake key as soon as you initiate the turn and keep it pressed through the apex.While the car is sliding, keep the opposite directional key pressed so as to stop the car from spinning. (Example: If you’re turning left, once you’ve started sliding, keep the right key pressed to stop from spinning).Straighten the car once out of the turn.

What is a drift TYRE?
What Does Drifting Do to Tires? – Specialized drifting tires exist, and they are designed with this kind of driving in mind. They have shallow, almost bald tread patterns with wide grooves, strong midribs, and hard vulcanized rubber the gives durability and strength.
Normal street tires are driftable, but they can fail and don’t offer the performance needed to drift competitively. When drifting, the tires are constantly spinning and leaving rubber on every inch of the track. With every rotation, the tire gets smaller and weaker. If you want to know how drifting affects a car’s tires, all you have to do is look at the track –it’s coated in rubber.
Drifting destroys tires and shortens the life span of tires to an afternoon. If it’s a hobby you want to pursue, then find a good place to buy tires for cheap, like RNR Tire Express. After you burn yours up, replace your tires with some from RNR Tire Express.

Do tires make a difference in GTA 5?
The only advantage off-road tires provide is smoothing out the bump you get when driving over curbs and does give some vehicles more speed in stunt tubes. No tires/wheels provide any better traction than any other type.
