vs
Tires Uniroyal or FEDERAL
Uniroyal Tiger Paw all-season have been good to me.
Pros: good all-season
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
I have a set of Federal 595RS-Pro's on my ATS-V. I have not had them on their long but I have been able to do one autocross on them and it improved my performance significantly. Also, I can confirm that they are not noisy on the road.
Pros: improved performance, not noisy
Cons: longevity unknown
I’ve been running Federals lately - RS-RR’s and RS-Pros - and both have been fantastic. Excellent grip, long wearing and cheap. Only gripe is the noise which is atrocious.
Pros: excellent grip, long wearing
Cons: atrocious noise
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 just run cheap studded federal himalaya ws2 (235/45/16) on 9x18 wheels. But im dealing with ice not snow.
Pros: dealing with ice
Cons: cheap studded
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Federals are good but if you are daily driving you will hate how much noise those bastards make, really really fast.
Pros: good performance
Cons: very noisy
As a competitive tire ? No. As a cheap learning/fun tire? yep. He complained about how soft the sidewalls where, even when over inflated at 45ish psi.
Pros: cheap learning/fun tire
Cons: soft sidewalls
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
