Best tire setup for 550+WHP and occasional donuts/drifting

[MTiz]

Good morning guys, like the title says I'm looking for a tire recommendation on what I should pickup next.

My current setup is FBO Full E85 with the BM3 Multi-map tune. I'm making a consistent 550whp and I do like to slide corners and do donuts when I drive my car. It isn't a daily anymore. I'm also currently running 19-inch BBS LM's and the specs are 19x9 front and 19x10 rear.

Definitely, don't want to get PS4S again. They don't hold up to sliding well at all and I've already had a set completely delaminate on me after doing like 3 small donuts lol. I want a tire that can stand up to heat and not explode or delaminate, but still give me grip when I need it.

I'm currently looking at Nitto NT555 G2's-- I know a lot of the muscle car guys drive them. Was thinking a 285/35/19 would be more than enough and they're priced pretty well too.

These Cup2's that are coming off were also pretty impressive. Cold they were extremely sketchy but once heated up they provided grip all the way down to the wires. I've also heard great things about R888R grip but I haven't been able to find out how those hold up to sliding (I've heard they last 5,000-6,000 miles of just driving NORMALLY so I'd imagine you can visibly see them wearing down while drifting lol)

Any other suggestions are welcome! Pic for attention.

G2s are meant for the front tires, the R2 is for the rear with more grip.

I just got r888r and the straight line grip is insane compared to mp4s. Probably would be too much grip to slide around and I wouldn’t wanna wear them out doing that.

Any tire that’s gonna hook with your e85 setup is gonna wear faster when you slide it. Think you gotta decide whether you wanna hook or for the tires to last while you slide it

After chatting up some other people i'm gonna go more for tires that last as opposed to insane grip. I'd eat up r888's in a month.

Great looking F80.
