No la SF,

It was some time ago, my old house neighbour got a condemned taxi bandar Proton Saga Megavalve.

His car failed Puspakom because of beehive welding on the chasis (kereta sambung)

He couldnt sell it, and left it outside his house,

So we help him start his car once in a while inflate the tyres during weekend and took it for a warm up,

We also did some not so serious drifting with it when the road was wet.

We did some 45 degree handbrake turns, left and right...

We also did reverse handbrake turn 180 degrees but cannot jadi, the car not powerful enough...

One day a patrol car caught us and warned us and we stopped practising, but i learnt quite a bit, hahaha!

oh.. that's not drifting..

that's more like an advance driving skill

drifting is full throttling around d corner..

and only RWD can drift..

my car stock standard with a welded rear axle.. only drift when raining

still learning.. so, no pic to show

80% left on the rear for FWD cars? I think that's too much difference I think. Most of the time the rear also already around 50-60% in my experience.

Rotation most of the time don't need balancing, not even alignment, provided your car is in normal condition with already properly balanced and aligned. I used to do rotation my self using 2 jacks, so no money spent as well. :D Only these last few years I don't do it anymore cuz getting old and lazy. :D

Depends from car to car. Mine maybe too powerful in front, so 80% balance.
Of course you DIY no need pay, but how many like you. Most who goes to get the rotation done sure kena chop, balancing and alignment if not then kena cost of rotation.
I always tell the members if no vibration why do balancing?
If tyre wear is good, why do alignment, but most just wants the car to be tip top so pay for it to be checked anyway.....

Yah! bro. zul is correct. FWD how to drift? Maybe in my VR slightly better, The power can loosen the grip of both front and rear but that also more of a skid....ha! ha!

Put lesser traction tyres in the rear, maybe close to bald, then can do in the dry. Up front better have better tyres....

Front one use Michelin PP2, Rear one use a 30% thread left silverstone...sure can loose the tail easily...

Continental tyres are quite silent and lasting...

Also quite gripping and holds well on the road...

But if you have the extra cash, go for Michelin XM-2

Not really that expensive if you take into consideration of its quality, lasting and fuel saving compound....

That depends which model you are referring to? Every brand of tyres have from entry comfort level to UHP and now even Max performance tyres. Just have to see your priorities and budget for the tyres you want.
