651 Sport Tips and Tricks

What makes it the tire of choice from grassroots to pro?

✔ Consistent performance across sizes and batches—no guessing, just grip.

✔ Predictable wear and breakaway, so drivers can focus on improving—not adjusting.

✔ Built tough to handle everything from grassroots grind to full-send pro runs.

10 years in, it’s still doing exactly what it was built to do: give drivers at every level a tire they can trust.

Tips and Tricks From Nate Hamilton

DRIFT TIPS

✔ At a competition? Hit the burnout box a little longer.

✔ At a grassroots event? Take an extra lap or do a quick burnout before your first official run to wear off the slick top layer and expose max grip.

✔ Don’t stretch your tires too much—265 or 285 on a 9.5” wheel is ideal.

✔ Get heat in the tires—this rubber loves a proper warm-up.

✔ Air down slightly to increase the contact patch and maximize grip for smoother, more controlled slides.

TRACK TIPS

✔ Set your pressures—start with 32 psi hot and adjust based on feel.

✔ Check your tires every few laps to see how they’re reacting to pressure and alignment.

✔ Warm up your tires—your first few laps should be easy warm-up laps to get heat into the rubber, maximizing performance for when you push.

✔ Don’t overdo it—after several hot laps, your tires might feel greasy; this means they’re overheating.

✔ Rotate your tires every few sessions for even wear.

EVERYDAY TIPS

✔ Check pressures regularly—for the street, 32–35 psi keeps things balanced. Expect more road feel—these are ultra-high-performance tires, so enjoy the grip.

✔ Drive spirited, but smart—the 651 Sport sticks hard but rewards smooth inputs.

✔ Get heat in the tires—this rubber loves a proper warm-up.

✔ Air down slightly to increase the contact patch and maximize grip for smoother, more controlled slides.
