vs
Tires OEM Audi or FEDERAL
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
They are OK, but I don't prefer them. I've driven cars with them on and in the dry they are on par with the ADR-08s. I prefer the feedback and feel of the Hankook RS4's myself for the dry. That said, they are not good at all in the wet.
Pros: OK in the dry
Cons: not good in wet
Vehicle:
BMW
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
These are not great street tires for DD use. You compare them to PS4s but they are not the same class. These are faster wearing, much louder, worse in cool temperatures (think in the 60°s), worse in the rain, much more prone to tramlining, less comfortable, and you'll never be able to use them to their potential on public roads.
Cons: faster wearing, much louder
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
