Tires FEDERAL or GT Radial

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

If you plan on using the Federals for daily driving i do highly suggest looking elsewhere. They are sticky but they are god-awful loud at any speed over 30mph. The tread design makes them hum like no other tire ive ever run on. Track day setup only then the Federal is a great tire to try out. Sticky as hell and very forgiving on the breakaway. Initial turn in is a bit less precise than the Azenis but not by much.

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.

Unless these were going to be specific track tires, I would not go with the Federal RS-RR's. I use them as my track tires and they're great for that, but they're a very loud tire. I got a flat on my daily set and waiting on the shipment and to mount and balance so I've been using the Federal's for my day to day driving and after 30mph, it's so loud in my car. Every passenger I've had always ask what the humming sound is and now I just joke it's my exhaust drone

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.
