Since I put on the wider tires, mine rolls less. Haven't REALLY tried to drift, but there's this one S-curve I can hit much faster than I used to.

If you put tires with more sidewall, you're not gaining much in the way of cornering performance, even with a wider stance...

oh yeah. lots of wrecks out here. A friend of mine died on his way from school a couple years ago driving in the rain. Josh Fiske. So sad......
East Valley is just plain old dangerous anyway. Bunch of testosterone happy boys made it their racing area at night when they think the cops are all asleep.
I don't even know the name of the road I was on....I'd have to ask Cody, he'd know. But it was in some newer area...hidden ridge estates or something like that

yeah....i've heard about a lot of stuff like that. My dad was the one answering the calls for awhile. You'd think they'd learn to buff security up there eventually 
Oh, but wait....that would mean the force would actually have to get off their butts and DO something lol

Blazers should only drift with the roads fairly wet or on dry dirt.
Normal dry asphalt roads will produce too much traction causing the blazer to roll over.
See the popular film 'Virtuosity'. Parker's futuristic vehicle of choice was a 1995 Blazer. Notice how wet the roads are, and it never rained the entire film.
