Tires BFGoodrich or FEDERAL
Federal tires are fantastic on a budget.
Over all, very happy with the RS-RRs last year and will be buying another set when these run their course.
RS-RR will have more grip without a doubt the price is quite good for what you get however keep in mind these tires are loud as shit like really really loud.
Gona have to second the KO2 good in snow, mud, dirt, slick rock, quiet in pavement, look aggressive, priced well, and you can put a lot of miles on them.
Federal 595 RS-R. It's a very well priced tyre.
I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.
Federal FZ-201 M tires. They were as fast as my used Hoosier R7s on the same course. Ended up about 1 second faster on a 1:15 lap vs the R7s. Fairly communicative towards the limits. On Auto Cross they were very sticky.
I have the BFGoodrich's linked in this thread on the M3, and they are great. Decent grip, great wet weather pattern, and decent life. Would buy again.
Feds are okay budget performance tires IMO. There's a fair bit of trade offs too. Grip isn't as good as PSS or even DWs IMO, though with the latter the difference isn't that great. Despite lower grip levels mpg was worse.
Hmm I did not know this. I can say I have had bad experiences with bf.
