Most of the time guys run two different tires to save money. Usually the rears will be cheaper. Other times, some guys will use different tires for different levels of grip.

LSD, brake pads,
brake fluid, clutch. Drift practice does take some space. I can't publicly condone sliding your car on the street, but an empty parking lot in the middle of the night or morning is probably SAFER than around freeway ramps. Try to find a local drift clinic, or a place that has some wet surfaces. Even though speeds will be slower on the wet surfaces, controlling the car is the same...
