Too late, I already got them installed and went with the Nexens. So far so good. Very smooth ride and no noise whatsoever!
Pros: very smooth ride, no noise
Here are some of the 165/40-16s Federal 595 EVO I just picked up. The wheels are RH Classics 16x7.5 these tires (like most Federals) run a full size wide, so they run like a 175. They also stretch more round, less "quarter pipe" like a Nankang. I'm not a huge fan of the flames, but they ride nice and at least they'll wear off the tread. haha
Pros: ride nice, stretch round
Cons: not a fan of flames
The federal rsr 595s I'm using on the rse05s hold up much better at the track.
Pros: hold up much better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Outperformed my 02 Cooper S at an AutoX event! I'm also talking about in the rain vs other tires I've had. Blows Michelins, Toyos, Pirellis, Goodyears out of the water no pun intended lol. They also seem to handle side/cornering load well. My continentals were cooked after a few track days and spirited drives while these seem fine. No chunking or odd wear patterns on the edge of the tread/sidewall. Any of those who have tracked will know what I'm referring to.
Pros: outperform in rain, handle cornering load well, no odd wear
Vehicle:
MINI
I had 155/55r14s or something like that on snowflakes and they ran great/handled great. I had to run spacers for the fitment to look right. and on my cups I have 165/45r15s. By far the best performing stretched tires I've ridden. And they can hit a pothole at 70mph and protect the wheel from bending.
Pros: great handling, protect wheel from bending
The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.
Pros: good dry grip
Cons: soft sidewall, quick wear
Vehicle:
Audi A4
this. plus they are super scary in the rain
Cons: super scary in rain
you dont want them anyway.. They have to be the worst tier ever made, and will only last one season at most
Cons: worst tier ever made
