In my experience low grip tires are better for this kind of thing on a street car

My thoughts exactly.
And I'd like to quibble with another point:

Actually, some grip tires let go very suddenly and you get a sharp falloff in lateral grip when they start to slide. This is obviously not ideal for a drift tire.
What you want is a tire that's very progressive, at the limit. Essentially, this means it will respond well to inputs, like changes in the amount of throttle or weight transfer.
