Default Best tires for drifting/powersliding?

Just curious to see what kind of experience you all have with this. I highly doubt i'm gonna stick with the S02s because they're just too damn grippy and drifting possibly isn't as perfect as it COULD be in such a perfectly balanced, RWD Honda.

Why did you list tires with soft compounds?
Practicality I guess. I'm not trying to determine the flat out best tire on the market for drifiting, but these are all tires I would at least consider putting on my car for daily use and was wondering which ones would be the best for drifiting.

Buy some Toyo T1-S. Overheat them on a track day and then drift, drift, drift away... trust me.

You know those "four tires for $80" sales at Walmart? Go for it!

Just wear out your S02s. when they get close to the indicators, they drift.
