Tires FEDERAL or GISLAVED

Ran the original tires for 6yrs just replaced them with some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 225/50ZR/17 high performance tires summer only all Im going to say is money well spent ????

Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!

I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).

I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.

Federal 595 RS RR

Wear earplugs. They're great.

I currently drive 2018 XC90 r5 and live in Montreal, Canada with Gislaved tires. There is absolutely nothing in Volvo XC90 that makes it ideal car to handle large amount of snow.

The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.

Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.

I’ve ran them for autox for fun when I had bmw Z4. They aren’t that good. Lol. Decent daily tires though.

I have a set of Federal RSRR. They only have about 3,000 miles on them. I took them to a track day and there was no feedback on when the tire would lose traction, the car would go from full grip to zero in a snap.
