The federal RS-R and RS-RR are unbelievable on the front. I have drifted at 60mph through puddles and never once understeered. On dry they are crazy grippy as well.
After two years with the car finally some wheels and tires. 18’s on Federal RS-RR 235/40/18. Definitely love the grip
I drove about 8k miles on a set of RS-Rs. They ride fairly stiff and produce a hum. Wet traction actually not bad at all. Dry performance was obviously exemplary.
I currently have the Federals for autocross and the grip is fantastic...
Upgraded the tires late last year to Federal 595 RSR, they are $300 INSTALLED at a local shop, which is crazy cheap IMO. The car grips so well.
Federals are awesome! I generally rock the 595's. The lateral grip is off the chain, and last forever, things are made with unicorn farts. Every build, every car, gets those tires when I do a wheel package. And I've never had anything close to any kind of problem with them.
Nevegal is a much better choice for cornering than ardent. I've done nevegal front/ardent rear before, but I really would be reluctant to push cornering speed on an ardent up front.
Federals are good but if you are daily driving you will hate how much noise those bastards make, really really fast.
I had some on my E34. Gripped great in the dry, I avoided the gas pedal when turning/changing lanes in the rain. I gave it a bit of gas near the end of the turn to make sure I'd pass a Buick next to me when I almost ended up driving into the Buick because the rear end let go.
this. plus they are super scary in the rain
