I'd go with a 205 / 225 combo width 45 aspect ratio front and rear.

You could go wider on the rear.

I like tr1s so have bought them numerous times now.

R888's all way round...your fkn mad trying to create a mismatch on purpose...have you ever lost the back end of one of these...they're not a drifter at all mate...I have Falken 452's all the way around at the mo, with a good suspension setup , it's planted unless I take the pi$$ completely,

I find the mr2 turbo a fantastic drifter, I don't mean putting complete rubbish on the rears, hence the contientals on the rear, I've had plenty of turbo mr2's and never ever have I lost the rear end and not controlled it, got to learn how to control your rear end by the sounds of it ;) lol
and im not paying for R888's when im not going on a track

I lose the NA more than I do the turbo... probably because I'm too scared to drive in the same way :oops:

I think it's purely down to me being a sissy when I'm in the turbo. 8)

The car isn't balanced in a way that it drifts easily...you gotta be beans on the throttle all the time and going forward quite a bit...on a track would be better than on the roads, and I've had the back end out more than I care to remember...but only for short stabs and a bit of fishtailing...had 2 close to the end experiences having it all the way around. propper pant splatters and sock fillers.

You asked and have been told by everyone to use good tyres all round not just on the front, so now its up to you what you want to do.
