vs
Tires FEDERAL or ADVAN
I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).
Pros: performed well, waaaaay quiter
Cons: very loud
I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.
Pros: fits BMW very well
Cons: sounds like plane
Vehicle:
BMW
I’ve got 255 Advan 052s and they are nuts. Shits don’t let go no matter what
Pros: great grip
ADVAN Neova AD09s, no contest.
Pros: no contest
Federal 595 RS RR
Wear earplugs. They're great.
Pros: They're great
Cons: Wear earplugs
The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.
Pros: lasted 30k

Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.
Pros: handled snow great
Cons: hit or miss
We ran them on our champ car endurance race car. They were ok for what they are. Beware they will get greasy after around 10-15 laps at full pace and grip goes immediately. Caused significant understeer at the limit when this happened.
Pros: ok for what they are
Cons: get greasy, understeer
I’ve ran them for autox for fun when I had bmw Z4. They aren’t that good. Lol. Decent daily tires though.
Pros: decent daily tires
Cons: aren’t that good
Vehicle:
BMW Z4
I have a set of Federal RSRR. They only have about 3,000 miles on them. I took them to a track day and there was no feedback on when the tire would lose traction, the car would go from full grip to zero in a snap.
Cons: no traction feedback, sudden loss
Mileage: 4800 km
