I think the cars that make smoke have a lot of
power cause I downloaded the jun 700hp supra
drift for kazaa and it smokes like hell and another
one with a 300hp SR 240sx and the tires just squeal

 

a few things that probably come into play
weight of car
power of car
size of tire
type of tire
composition of tire
newness/oldness of tire
etc.

 

Here in japan, people like smokey loud tires. Pirellis seam to sound and smoke the best. Also, for competition tires, a lot of people sink their tires in a kiddie pool or something for a few weeks. They will smoke like MAD!! and the last pretty long also.

 

It is not always a power thing. I am making the same power since the car came from the factory and I make tremendous amounts of tire smoke now that my technique has gotten a little more agressive.

That and a 2 way makes for mounds of tire smoke.

I have burnt:
Michelins, kumhos, costco, and brand x. They all frag out.

I think it is more the ability to create wheelspin before and all the way thru a turn. The tires fail and they smoke all day long. Once broken they should stay broken as long as you keep the speed up.

 

who cares about smoke? Fuck that
its about how you drift.

people get all wet over burnouts and shit and tiresmoke...

Come on you don't like hitting a turn right and leaving a nice rooster tail?

Shoot I like to leave rooster tails with my truck. Find me dry dirt roads and I am in luv!

 

no i dont
i prefer nailing a corner with a good line, high speed and fast exit. clean and precise and in control
whatever happens behind me happens
leave the showy smoke to newbs and entertainers. im more intersted in becoming a better driver rather then the 'woah dood your tires smoke a lot!'

neova ad07 dont smoke much at all. but i'd take those over a very smoke tire

is it impossible to nail a corner with a good line, high speed, and fast exit, and still have a nice trail witchu?
common now

 

dousan, I'm not asking how to smoke the tires. I'm simply reqesting knowledge of WHY they smoke. I even said in my post that I would much rather not smoke the tires...I'm not all about that flashy attention getting (cop attracting) shit anyway. This is why I'm asking, so that if it is the certain tire compound that is know to smoke, then I know to stay away from it.

 

see what brian wrote

it is not impossible d1gp but im not concerned about tires. noticed at end i said

"whatever happens behind me happens"

i buy tires not based on smokeability but rather grip and quality

 

I wanna buy some that are going to last a long time, even with the wear and tear.

Drift is an exhibition sport. Clean lines, High speed, Lots of oversteer, Smoke, Screeching tires, and a Loud exhaust all contribute to the crowd watching you versus someone else. In my experience, here in Japan, the last three are often the most important. They make you LOOK fast, regardless if someone is 2 seconds ahead of you. If you are just worried about going fast gripping is probably the sport for you. But if you are into turning heads and impressing the crowd smoke and sound are very important.

 

yup yup, unless u auto crossing, shitty all-season tires will do the work, drift wise

 

ya but that's competitions and all. i prefer being a skilled driver before being focused on competitions

again, look at the biggest crowd pleaser event: D1.

most use Neova AD07 (many of the big winners) not a heavy smoking tire but great on control.

the biggest smoker is Nomuken w/ the DZ101 or FM901 (i think DZ101s now)

Whatever....smoking makes it fun for spectators and makes for nice videos, I with you on this Stanbo. Nothing wrong with drifting correctly AND making some smoke

 

buddy, making your tires smoke is the least of your god damn worries when you are drifting lmfao.

tru, but the smoke is behind u so nothing to worry about
who cares, if u want to smoke go ahead, smoking is not bad for u

 

I guess some of you aren't understanding...

I DO NOT want this, this attracts TOO MUCH ATTENTION:

I would prefer this, it's less noticeable especially on streets:

Just in case I decide to have a little fun on a drive around town, I don't want crazy ass smoke attracting a lot of attention...especially some cops attention. If there was some tire squeal and a little bit of smoke that cleared up quickly it would be much less suspicious than a huge cloud of smoke lingering for 30 seconds or more.
