Tire pressure has a huge effect on how a drift car handles. For neutral balance, if you’ve generally followed our guidelines, you want to run near or close to 32 psi hot all around — this is your stable temperature after a few runs. You want to start with your cold temps a few psi below this and will probably have to bleed pressure after every run. Once you get some experience, you’ll more or less know about what cold pressure to start with.
The best tire pressure will vary, depending on the car, the type of tire, the rim width and a bunch of other factors, but this will be a good starting point. If you have a low-powered car with a stock engine, you can pump up your rear tire pressures as high as 50 psi to help keep the car sideways. If you rock a big-turbo car or a V-8, you can run as low as the low 20s to help with forward bite, although super-low tires pressure are best left to the pros, as it can make the car twitchier and the tire could debead with a sudden loss of tire pressure.
These are the basics of drift car chassis setup — do this right and you’ll be ahead of the game. When you move up to Pro-Am, are starting to do some serious tandem drifting or are getting into the pro levels, there are many other tricks that can be put to use, but they’re quite a bit more technical. We’ll cover these later.
Remember to have fun, don’t be afraid to experiment to find what is best for you and don’t practice on the street!
