Every competition drift tire we track, in one chart — organized by manufacturer, with each brand’s compounds laid out in that brand’s own terms. Each part number links to that exact tire and compound.
One important caution before you compare: compound names do not translate across manufacturers, and drift brands do not even use the same kind of scale — some rate hardness, others specify the surface the tire is made for. Compare within a manufacturer’s lineup, not across brands.
As a rough guide within any single brand: harder compounds slide more freely and last longer, softer ones hold more grip. Surface matters as much as hardness — asphalt, P-Tile and carpet each want a different tire, and running the wrong one is usually why a car will not hold an angle. This chart covers tires sold with a competition compound choice; pre-mounted cosmetic tire-and-wheel sets are not listed.
DS Racing
DS Racing splits its competition range by friction level: the LF (low friction) ladder runs LF-1 through LF-5 — a higher number is a harder, lower-grip tire — while the HF (high friction) ladder covers higher-grip surfaces. The RWD Competition II slicks use their own F One / FF Zero naming.
