stickier compound drift tires are used for higher speed tracks where you need to really throw the car into a slide. The higher friction coefficient is required to overcome the higher speed and vice versa. lower grip tires are for smaller technical tracks where you don't have the space to build up momentum to throw the car into a deep angle slide. You can use the high grip tires on a smaller track if you have the power to brute force the slide. You would need much smoother throttle control but that is more difficult with these small transmitter trigger throttles.
I dig your garage track lay out! I noticed some wheels without tires have flex to them vs some wheels have no flex when I squeeze them between my index and thumb finger.
It’s funny because The slide looks a lot nicer but the direction and accuracy wasn’t there bit definitely has potential with the right tune. In one of my other videos I tested some new rubber ones that I actually like better but I need to rebalance the car weight to use them. I might try some settings for both. I think the big thing that I’m learning with the yokomo tires is they are forgiving for beginners.
yokomo has a asphalt specific tire and they seem solid, last pretty long even on a decently rough surface and i haven’t tried them on a slicker surface but i think they’d perform decent there as well
I thought the same thing at first but the inconsistency between the traction actually makes the car very prone to spinning out. The rear would drift and the front would stick making it way harder to control.

The GoolRc drift tires are actually MST tires. If you look at the sidewall they say Max Speed Technology
Amazon cheap tires looked the best IMO!
I know it's quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new series online ?
@Roland Arjun Flixportal :D
@Waylon Joshua Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!
@Roland Arjun glad I could help xD
It looked like you were drifting much better with the cheap amazon tires.

Very helpful as I venture into rc drifting
I run without a gyro for now bc I just built my first kit so I need to tune and practice
Nice video
Great video and comparison!
What lights are you using in the car?
Thank you.
Hey! I plan to drift outside, mainly on asphalt surface. Any recommendations on tires for Tamiya TT02?
What servo and gyro are you using..? I see a lot of wobble with the rubber tires...
Hey man! Which type of tape did you use here to cover the cracks in the floor? Trying to do this in my garage as well. Thank you
I just used 2 layers of duct tape. Not perfect but it worked ok.
What's some good drift tired for asphalt? I just bought a TT-02.

What would you recommend for drifting on vinyl floor?
Pretty sure regular plastic tires work good on vinyl. Usually they will have some kind of rating so you know for sure tho.
I think your gyro settings to much..
I just got the same e92 mst you have and painted it. What light kit do you have and do you recommend?
I actually just grabbed a pair of rc led headlights on Amazon. Didn’t have any issues.
Id use the rubber tires in the front ..... And the yokomo in the back
