Tires FEDERAL or GT Radial

I drove about 8k miles on a set of RS-Rs. They ride fairly stiff and produce a hum. Wet traction actually not bad at all. Dry performance was obviously exemplary.

I currently have the Federals for autocross and the grip is fantastic...

Upgraded the tires late last year to Federal 595 RSR, they are $300 INSTALLED at a local shop, which is crazy cheap IMO. The car grips so well.

I have had great luck with GT Radial so far.

Federals are awesome! I generally rock the 595's. The lateral grip is off the chain, and last forever, things are made with unicorn farts. Every build, every car, gets those tires when I do a wheel package. And I've never had anything close to any kind of problem with them.

I started on Federal 595 SS, As I progressed as a driver I changed those out for the Federal RS-RR, Both great tires for cheap and id recommend for a Grassroots style of drifting or open drift days.

[Federal 595 RS-R](https://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/federal/235%252F40-17+federal+595+rs-r+racing+90w+bsw.html) 235/40/17 under $100 per tire. I loved this tire, grip so nice.

Federals are good but if you are daily driving you will hate how much noise those bastards make, really really fast.

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.

this. plus they are super scary in the rain
