Compared to used tires, Federals aren't much more expensive and they last 3 or 4 times as long. I get used tires for $30 and they are always old and the tread tears away from the core in just a couple runs with 160HP, I had a Federal 595 and a Kunho Ecsta on a pair of wheels and the federal still had tread and the Kumho was showing cords.

The way i see it, even for the cost, new tires make your drifting easily consistent and easy to control your car.

For the front of the car, get some quality tires preferably low profile if you can and not a stock boo boo wheel.
I recently ran some 17"x7" with used 225/45 tires and they were completely amazing compared to a 15"x6.5" stock wheel with a 195/60/15 that i used before.
