Tires OEM BMW or FEDERAL
I recently bought a new to me truck with 285/60/20 federal couragia fx tires. So far they ride really well in dry or wet weather, warm or cold.
Pros: ride really well
Cons: low tread wear rating
Vehicle:
Dodge RAM
Take a look into Federal Evoluzion ST-1. These are really good with a lot of positive reviews from owners of powerfull cars.
Pros: positive reviews
HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.
Pros: huge difference with tires
Vehicle:
BMW
Narrow, low-profile tires aren't as forgiving over potholes, especially when riding on the 20" wheels.
Cons: not forgiving over potholes
Vehicle:
BMW
After my recent misfortune with A052’s at the track, I decided to go with a cheaper 200tw tire to see how they perform. I ran the Federal RS-Pro’s in 225/40/18 on my 2021 Mini Cooper JCW GP3. Handling was pretty impressive to me, to be honest.
Pros: impressive handling
Cons: acted a little squirrely
Vehicle:
MINI
I am running the Federal Himalaya Iceo. Ran them last winter and had no issues at all , daily driven and even used for work. Bought them from Town Fair Tire and I would recommend them to others.
Pros: no issues at all
Vehicle:
Subaru
federal rs-rr are decent but they do get greasy towards the end of your sessions.
Pros: decent
Cons: get greasy
Note to self, don’t cheap out on tires. (Federal SS 595). These aren’t bad bad but for autocross they need to be better.
Pros: not bad
Cons: need to be better
Forget the RS-RR's if you don't want your ears ringing for days after even a short road trip. I've been in a '17 mustang (gt) fitted with them; and I've never heard so much road noise on the street.
Cons: excessive road noise
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
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
