the oem tires are good for drifting because of the large slip angles... certainly a better choice than a V710 or something, but that doesn't mean you have to drive at those slip angles.


you can just as easily drive within the limits of the tires and not drift, with the only consequence being a slower laptime.


I did MIR, DDT and a handful of autocrosses on stock tires, my lines and attack strategies were no different than when I was running RA1s on my older cars, you figure out where the limit is and you stick to it.


Your sense of a core misunderstanding is deceiving you. I sense a pre-conceived notion.

You don't have to drive at those slip angles unless you are learning to drift.

Driving within the limits of a slippery tire do result in slow lap times.

When you figure out the limit of sticky tires you save the cost of tracking with slippery tires first.
