Normally, the drift tires feature shallow and almost bald tread patterns, with wide grooves, strong midribs, and wear resistant rubber compound that delivers strength. Drift tires are designed and tested to be used on special tracks.
Westlake Sport RS is a representative tire for the drift category. This model is an ideal tire option for drifting and track applications. It shows ultimate performance in terms of steering ability and traction capacity. A special and reinforced tread compound reduces the sidewall flex and bubble formation.
Firstly, Westlake Sport RS comes with an advanced Silica tread compound molded into an aggressive look tread. This type of tread ensures excellent handling, firm traction, and a controlled ride when it comes to cornering. It presents dual shoulder blocks designed to increase grip for high traction and steering. In addition, the wide center rib promotes responsive handling and superb straight-line stability on the track.
Secondly, this model presents twin central tread grooves and open lateral grooves. These deliver high resistance to reduce the risk of aquaplaning. As a result, it offers great vehicle control in rain or wet surfaces. Westlake Sport RS ensures a short braking distance to stop the vehicle, an aspect important on track for quicker lap time.
Finally, Westlake Sport RS is available starting from 15 to 20-inch sizes, with a V and W-speed rating. In conclusion, it can be one of the best tire options for track enthusiasts.
