I don't need road tyres at rear to drift

Me neither.
It's more what is good for the car's handling when drifting. When the yokos heat properly they become very sticky, but you have probably never felt that so you woundn't know what I'm saying.

even with very hot yokos, when they are very sticky, you can easily slide; perhaps it's because you don't go fast enough that you can't understand what I'm saying 

NB: I drove my 300 with road tires, yokos, and toyos 888....and in 2-3 days I'll post a vid of my last trackday, yesterday in Dijon-Prenois (France) with toyos, you'll see the slide danse

I think we are talking about different things. Slide/drift, when you overstear in or out of a corner... or drifting, when you drive with a constant angle against the direction. And you are very right about that it's not at all difficult to drift with yokos, just plain waste of a good tyre. Come to Sweden and I'll show you how we drift here!

I owned a Z3M coupe 3 years ago.

Great drifts on this vid, but driving like that in the traffic 

I hope it's not you 

[AtomFun]

Totally stupid and reckless driving given the situation.

it's weird that not more accidents happen when people do these "films"... it's been very popular among car freaks doing these films since "getaway in stockholm" came a few years ago... it even became big business, the ghostrider guy makes tons of money from his films... sad!

We did a little drifting at Millbrook yesterday - Scott is now completely hooked!
