i was doing some homework when this came to mind- using spares as drift tires! the smaller diameter, harder compound, and more narrow width would let you lose traction way more easily when you want. it would probably change the effective caster of the front suspension...but i'd imagine it to be loads of fun!

That is a poor idea and I hope you're joking. No offense to you personally, but really, use your spare for what it's intended and make sure you have it when you need it.

Used tires in normal sizes are easy enough to come by.

you can get cheap tires way to easily...and lets think about it...those tires have warnings on them to not go above 45 and crap like tht...do you think it would be good to go that fast sideways on them?

True. I'll lock & move it to be archived in the tire forum.
