Not a good tire on the m2 for real drifting (not powersliding) the car doesn’t have enough power for their grip level - you’d need 550-600 wheel to competitively drift on sport cup 2

I’m sure you could drift with them in the wet.
However why would you want to???
If you want to drift then perhaps they aren’t the best tyre choice.

Pilot SC2 to winter tires just like that. Winter tires would disappear in seconds drifting in warm weather. You want middle ground. Please practice away from people.

I run 235s in the back of mine for drift days due to the 265 having way too much grip for competitive drifting in this chassis / power level

I'm not a drifter, but I would imagine you'd want something narrower, not as grippy, and cheaper than the PS2. Why waste money on an expensive tire like that when you're gonna burn them up quickly and you don't need the extra grip?

The M2 was born to drift.
