what profile tires do you have? Im guessing its stock 15's? I dont suggest going sideways on uneven surfaces on any kind of tires because YOU WILL pop the tire off or brake something.

Just go get a cheap crap ass $200 car for that crap. I'm sure you'll have more fun in a car that you don't give a poo about and don't care if you total the control arms, rims, or end up rollin the damn thing. After your field drifting, fly over some curbs in it and do some parking lot drifting too!

low tire pressure and no bead locks will pop the tire off the rim. the car's wheels and tires aren't made for such abuse and will act accordingly. if you want a mudding car, get a truck. either that or run high tire pressure at the cost of traction and control.
