For drifting, get whichever tire is cheapest.. because it won't last long either way.

To answer your tire question, what are you trying to do with the car?

And your tire size is wrong. it should be 195 or 205 /60/15. Don't stagger the tire sizes unless you want to be made fun of.

Use Azenis Sports up front. They are pretty common on the front. For the rear... try them both and see which ones you like, the ziex or the es100 or try the ST115. I run ST115 all around (215/4517 on a 17x9) and I love it. My favorite setup so far, however, not the cheapest

I drift on ST115 that still has the stickers on it. I wouldn't have it any other way at this point. Using cheapo tires is only good to a point. Once you can sustain a drift or you have some decent wheels, it's time to get some decent tires.

Lots of pros stagger tires. I don't think they get laughed at too often.

Well, how often do you drift, and how long have you had these tires? If your tires last a long time, maybe you're doing it wrong... or you're like me and only do it when you can take advantage of the rain.

The only thing I drift with is Kumhos because I live a few miles from tire rack and you can't beat the 30 a tire. Kumhos tend to get greasy fast and chunk. I get a lot of life from them though.

does the pic in my sig look like i'm doing something wrong? I drift once or twice a month, and depending on how much track time I get, I will take a pair of ST115 and be on wires by the end of the day.

oh yeah, for sure. staggering tires 'for performance' on alloys is like wearing a sticker on your forehead that says 'i'm an idiot.' but he doesn't say he has stock alloys. for all we know, he could be jdm tight with some 16x9 -10 with fender flares. though you're probably right, stock alloy fo life.
