No, you cannot install low grip tires on any car in GTA Online. This specific modification is restricted to a curated list of eligible vehicles, primarily tuners, sports classics, and certain muscle cars. The modification is applied at the Los Santos Customs shop or your Auto Shop within the Tires menu under the "Tire Type" or "Special Tires" option. The primary effect is a significant reduction in the vehicle's traction stat, which is the game's measurement of how well the tires grip the road.
Installing low grip tires fundamentally changes how a car handles. It increases oversteer, making the rear end of the car more likely to slide out during cornering. This makes the car much more difficult to control at high speeds but allows for sustained, controlled drifts. It's a modification purely for style and fun, not for improving lap times in standard races. In fact, for most competitive racing, low grip tires are a severe disadvantage because they sacrifice stability and acceleration for slideability.
The selection of eligible vehicles is updated periodically by Rockstar Games. The table below lists some of the most popular and well-known cars that can be equipped with low grip tires.
| Vehicle Category | Example Vehicle Names |
|---|
| Tuners | Annis Euros, Karin Futo, Karin Futo GTX, Dinka Jester RR, Annis ZR350 |
| Sports Classics | Invetero Coquette Classic, Dewbauchee JB700W, Lampadati Casco |
| Muscle Cars | Vapid Dominator GTX, Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire, Imponte Ruiner ZZ-8 |
| Sports | Dinka Jester (Racecar version), Obey 8F Drafter |
| Motorcycles | Western Reever, Shitzu Hakuchou Drag |
It's important to test a car with these tires in a safe, open area like the airport to get a feel for the handling. Throttle control becomes critical to maintaining a drift without spinning out completely. This upgrade is best suited for players who have mastered standard driving mechanics and are looking for a new challenge or a way to create dramatic cinematic moments.
