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.
I'm gonna come out of left field here and recommend either the Falken Azenis FK510 or Hankook Ventus Evo 2. Both affordable (the Hankooks moreso than the Falkens), both grip great for spirited street use, both have respectable tread lives.
I'm speaking from experience with both.
My VW dealer gave me a good deal on Hankooks. They’re pretty good. No complaints here.
Federal tires are fantastic on a budget.
I ended up deciding on Hankook R-S4's. Seem like a very good, though not quite RE71r level, dry autocross tire, better in wet than dedicated dry tires, able to take the heat of a track day, livable as a daily, and supposedly wear like rocks, so I'm assuming they end up being cheaper in the long run than the federal rs-pro's, or most any other 200tw tire.
If track is becoming a priority, the grip and durability of the Hankook R-S4 us tough to beat. I just bought my second set. Ran 10 track days and 9 autocross events on a single set last year
Over all, very happy with the RS-RRs last year and will be buying another set when these run their course.
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.
I'm running the OEM Hankook Optimo 426s on my Fiesta, and they're just about to the wear bars at 53K. They wore pretty well, I guess, decent traction and noise control, not a bad tire overall.
I had the Ventus V12 Evos on my Focus ST, and I didn't like them.
