Tires FEDERAL or Hifly
Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!
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).
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.
Federal 595 RS RR
Wear earplugs. They're great.
I have old michelin 185hr15 on mine, but for 14 inch the closest That was cheap and available was HiFly 195/70r14 for $90 a piece
Federal tires to add sa mga choices
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.
No, but never buy hifly’s again please
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
