vs
Tires FEDERAL or VITOUR
If it's any consolation, after what I've experienced with the RR I would not hesitate to put a set of PROs on a daily driver for the summer. They have incredible grip for the price, I and a couple of friends have been able to remain competitive on the RR. I would assume from the RR they will have good cold grip, making them good in the wet as long as you don't go through puddles.
Pros: incredible grip, good cold grip
I’ve been a Federal fan for a few years now. Downfall of the RR’s was the road noise, the Pro has fixed that. Can’t wait to hit the track this year with them.
Pros: fixed road noise
Cons: road noise
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
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
running Federal 595 RS-RRs on my RX-7 and they're not bad, certainly not as sticky as the Toyo R888s I had on previously, but I can't reallly complain otherwise.
Pros: not bad
Cons: not as sticky
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...
Cons: worn almost to belt
