vs
Tires FEDERAL or OEM Honda
Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!
Pros: grip through
Cons: loudest tires
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
Federal 595 RS RR
Wear earplugs. They're great.
Pros: They're great
Cons: Wear earplugs
And, dang, they really stuffed some meaty tires on it. Hope those are production spec and it's properly geared to turn them.
Pros: meaty tires
Vehicle:
Honda
The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.
Pros: lasted 30k
Cons: looked like OP tires
Mileage: 30000 km
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
Finally, check your tire date codes. Tires older than 6 or 7 years are no longer suitable for riding on, as they have lost a lot of their elasticity and therefore grip.
Pros: check date codes
Cons: lost elasticity, lost grip
Vehicle:
Honda
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
Had horrible experiences with these tires on my Focus ST, chunked really quickly and weren't as fast as the RS-RR's
Cons: chunked really quickly
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
