Default 18 inch cheap drift tires

Well I will be getting (hopefully soon) 18 in wheels and I will need some rubber for them. I was thining I like doing burnouts and 360's on parking lots, drift the rear end on every possible corner or take off by spinnig tires. Basically I waste my tires pretty bad, so I was wondering what would be a cheap but ok 18 in tire. I want them cheap since i need to replace them pretty often. I was thinking maybe something with a higher thread wear and something that I can loose traction easier, since it would make my job much easier.

Ecsta Supra 712. Cheap, will break loose more easily, long treadwear, good wet traction so your fun it the wet will be controlled fun int he wet. That'd be my pick.

Go with a relatively narrow tire too, if you don't intend to drive on the street or track competitively. the S will rotate very very easily with a smaller or negative stagger front-back.

The Kumho 712 and the Yoko ES100 would both be good choices. The Yoko will be a little better performance tire with the same kind of tread wear.
If I can help let me know.

Hmm I have the 18 Volk Gtn's now with s03's/ If I would have 18 inch fornt and 16 inch rear ( if I would change the rims for dirft only, would it work? Or I need a set of 16 inch wheels?

(16 is probbaly easier to break lose and cheaper to replace tire)
