Tires DUNLOP or FEDERAL

Federal 595 RS-R. It's a very well priced tyre.

I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.

Federal FZ-201 M tires. They were as fast as my used Hoosier R7s on the same course. Ended up about 1 second faster on a 1:15 lap vs the R7s. Fairly communicative towards the limits. On Auto Cross they were very sticky.

235/35/19 Dunlop sp winter Max or whatever they are called. Absolutely love them.

Tires: Federal 595 rear / Cooper Zeon RS3-A front

• Front wheels has stock dunlops and rear wheels has all season but forgot the name. Gonna get new sets before next winter starts.

I loved the Sottozero 3's on my previous STi. I got a set of Dunlop WinterMaxx on my R now (got them on sale from TireRack when I got winter wheels) and while they're fine and even good in the snow, they are horrific on wet pavement.

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.

Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.

Stock Dunlops are garbage. I barely got 17kish out of mine and they were at 3/32".
