probably this...and those who don't drift are just copying ?

I dunno if I would say they are copying; back in the day when money was tight for me, I would wait until I had enough money to buy parts for my car. Maybe drifters and burnouters buying cheap tires just made it acceptable to buy cheap tires?

Plus, if you check out your local free classifieds, there are a whole bunch of mom-and-pop tire/wheel shops that sell tire/wheel packages with no name wheels and no name tires...
