Tires FEDERAL or Goodyear

I haven’t looked at the Goodyear data myself, but I have spoken to people at Calspan, and I’ve been told that the Goodyear mu is “10% higher than the Hoosier stuff”.

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.

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

I use them daily for about 2 years now in SoCal. Daily drive them. I do fine at track days on them and they lasted quite a long time. Now they are pretty loud however but eh kinda get used to them.

Federal RSRR. My last set lasted me 25k miles which included 4 track days and 2 auto xs

I had some on my E34. Gripped great in the dry, I avoided the gas pedal when turning/changing lanes in the rain. I gave it a bit of gas near the end of the turn to make sure I'd pass a Buick next to me when I almost ended up driving into the Buick because the rear end let go.

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.

The summer tires on my Mustang lasted a whole 12k miles - but they were staggered so they couldn't be rotated and were the worst tire ever put on at a factory (Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars).
