awd - you want something slick that your car can overpower and easily spin. taping over works. hard slicks, drift tires work too. awd is what you want for easy drifting! (i think of it sorta as ice racing)

rwd - this is a whole different game. really depends on the surface. you want the front to understeer though because xmods simply do not have enough countersteer or perciseness. you want a balance of rear grip and power. rule of thumb would be one grade grippier tire in the rear, so for dusty concrete i would run front hard slicks/ rears medium slicks. same goes with springs.(you want enough power to overcome understeer, not too much where you spin out all the time. throttle control and countersteer timing is critical)

fwd - im still experimenting with this.. hards in front. taped in back. it mostly just slides really quickly then straighten outs... pretty funny actually. good for tight 90 degree turns?
