Tires FEDERAL or GOODRIDGE
I purchased Federal Xplora RT tires and they are the best tires I've ever had. I got them three years ago and I have over 40k on them and they are barely warn. They are literally 100k tires. Wet traction and hydroplane resistance are excellent. I did a little bit of snow and they did well there too.
Pros: excellent wet traction, long lasting
Mileage: 64373 km
I run Federal RSRR on the front of my drift car and Id say its TOO much grip in comparison to the rear 'whatever-I-Can-get" used tires.
Pros: too much grip
The Federals have been good for me the last couple of years for a budget tire, but they're really only a budget friendly tire for larger sizes.
Pros: budget friendly
Cons: only for larger sizes
Federal command 2.4s have been my favorite so far. Smooth center tread for good rolling and speed retention, but still have some tread on the side for banking and grind protection. Rubber compound they use is also getting softer with time/riding so they feel better the more worn in they get.
Pros: good rolling, speed retention
Cons: no cons
205 65 15 Federal Federallys
They have great traction in the dirt and never de-bead
Pros: great traction in dirt
RS-RR's are good for wear also but way longer to overheat when pushed. They squeal and moan like crazy though and finding the limit of grip is very hard.
Pros: good wear, longer overheat
Cons: squeal and moan, hard grip
Federal 595RS-PRO 275 width - Lower grip levels than RE71 or similar, but they wear like rocks. I am on heat cycle 15 and they have no significant wear. Time deltas for me on a short, technical track are ~1.5-2 secs slower than my other tires, however.
Pros: wear like rocks
Cons: lower grip levels
Vehicle:
BMW
Those tires are the lowest budget-high grip tires you can buy. Can't have everything for free, noise is to be expected with that kind of tire peformance
Pros: high grip
Cons: lowest budget, noisy
Goodride can be slippery in the wet
Cons: slippery in the wet
I had a set of Goodrides. Dealer threw them on a used truck I bought. Went from new to bald in 30k km. Junk.
Cons: went bald in 30k km
Mileage: 30000 km
