These tires are a great compromise between daily driving and performance. For someone who wants more grip and a sportier feel without sacrificing ride quality and daily use, these tires are perfect. Not to mention they are great drift tires ;), longest lasting tires I've had by far.

I have these on my Optima sxl not a drift car but daily driver rotated every 2 oil changes and got close to 50k miles out of them worn to the tread bars on all 4. I bought a 2nd set I probably won't have the car another 50k miles but if I do I'll buy 3rd set.
drift good
Great drift tire. Surprisingly nice on the street, too. Not the best tire for the front as they tend to understeer, but can grip and go in a straight line.
I'm big into Motorsports, mostly drifting. The kenda kr20 is the best tire for sliding your car around. Great grip, great wear, great smoke. They're also good for daily driving. Not to much roadwear. Oh did I mention they have a really cool looking tread pattern?
I love this tire for drifting. Good amount of grip. Doesnt fail prematurely due to over heating. Cost efficient as well.
I use these tires for drifting and they last the torture pretty well compared to other tires I've used before
I bought These to drift on. With about 380 wheel ho they provide very good grip and last plenty long while running a 245. Drove with some on the street for about two weeks and notice very good grip when driving decently hard. Awesome tire!
I run these on my drift car, so I cannot give a fair tread life review, I burn up a set of rears in less than a day. With that being said, they do last longer than some other brands that I have ran and are considerably cheaper. The tread pattern is a sporty design and is uni directional. I have driven the car on 20-30 mile street trips and would have no issue driving them on a daily car. I have ordered several times from Simple Tire with zero issues and will continue to buy my tires from them. 5*
