I’ve been running Federals lately - RS-RR’s and RS-Pros - and both have been fantastic. Excellent grip, long wearing and cheap. Only gripe is the noise which is atrocious.
Pros: excellent grip, long wearing
Cons: atrocious noise

If it's any consolation, after what I've experienced with the RR I would not hesitate to put a set of PROs on a daily driver for the summer. They have incredible grip for the price, I and a couple of friends have been able to remain competitive on the RR. I would assume from the RR they will have good cold grip, making them good in the wet as long as you don't go through puddles.
Pros: incredible grip, good cold grip
I’ve been a Federal fan for a few years now. Downfall of the RR’s was the road noise, the Pro has fixed that. Can’t wait to hit the track this year with them.
Pros: fixed road noise
Cons: road noise
I like them for the price. Grip is great and noise is definitely less than the RS-RRs. They are certainly not RE71s or Rivals but I can buy two sets for the price of top tier. They also run wide as hell. They also wear like iron. Same as the RS-RR.
Pros: great grip, wear like iron
Cons: not top tier
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
A friend bought them for his E92 M3 and ran one event with them before the shutdown. He said they're not very impressive at all, even his old and cycled RS3s had noticeably more grip available.
Cons: not very impressive

Probably one of the loudest tires I’ve had.. Federal 595 RSRR
Cons: loudest tires
Federal tires are fantastic on a budget.
Pros: fantastic on a budget
Forget the RS-RR's if you don't want your ears ringing for days after even a short road trip. I've been in a '17 mustang (gt) fitted with them; and I've never heard so much road noise on the street.
Cons: excessive road noise
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Full tread they were good in the rain but definitely left something to be desired once they got below half tread.
Pros: good in the rain
Cons: desired below half tread
Over all, very happy with the RS-RRs last year and will be buying another set when these run their course.
Pros: very happy
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
