Out west a lot of guys run Nexen and they are loved by the drift community. Eagle runs them and he is fire! Federals are also popular as a dual purpose street and track tire. You aren't gonna break in records on them as they are second or two slower than the fastest tires. The Federals are cheap and good starter or practice tire. Lots of different tires and tire compounds out there to choose from. Since there are so many different track day organizations out west there is lots of information and people running different. You will no if a tire is garbage because the word spreads like wildfire. Don't just think because you haven't heard of a brand or they are cheap does not mean they will not perform.
