vs
Tires FEDERAL or OEM Porsche
Reviews
I like them for the price. Grip is great and noise is definitely less than the RS-RRs. They are certainly not RE71s or Rivals but I can buy two sets for the price of top tier. They also run wide as hell. They also wear like iron. Same as the RS-RR.
Pros: great grip, wear like iron
Cons: not top tier
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
Federal tires are fantastic on a budget.
Pros: fantastic on a budget
Over all, very happy with the RS-RRs last year and will be buying another set when these run their course.
Pros: very happy
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
RS-RR will have more grip without a doubt the price is quite good for what you get however keep in mind these tires are loud as shit like really really loud.
Pros: more grip, good price
Cons: loud as shit
Federal 595 RS-R. It's a very well priced tyre.
Pros: well priced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.
Pros: affordable, good grip
Cons: poor in the rain
I've had Evo595 and they aren't that good. I ordered their RS-R and were sent RS-RR instead due to being sold out. These are so much better (quite loud if that's fine) have been on daily for 11k miles now with tread at okay level.
Pros: much better
Cons: quite loud
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 11000 km
Unless these were going to be specific track tires, I would not go with the Federal RS-RR's. I use them as my track tires and they're great for that, but they're a very loud tire. I got a flat on my daily set and waiting on the shipment and to mount and balance so I've been using the Federal's for my day to day driving and after 30mph, it's so loud in my car. Every passenger I've had always ask what the humming sound is and now I just joke it's my exhaust drone
Pros: great for track
Cons: very loud tire
I was thinking about running 185/60-13's for a while. All that I could find where Federal 595 and Achilles 122 which are both ****ty tires.
Cons: tires are ****ty
As a competitive tire ? No. As a cheap learning/fun tire? yep. He complained about how soft the sidewalls where, even when over inflated at 45ish psi.
Pros: cheap learning/fun tire
Cons: soft sidewalls
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
