Tires FEDERAL or Hifly

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.

Anyone here running Federal 595s? I’m using them on my Focus ST. In case you’re looking for a great low price tire, id give the 595s a try. Mine handle great in warmth and on rain it’s pretty decent if you’re not flooring it from a slow speed. We’re past snow now and in snow they handled okay as well. Overall, great tire for the price.

running Federal 595 RS-RRs on my RX-7 and they're not bad, certainly not as sticky as the Toyo R888s I had on previously, but I can't reallly complain otherwise.

I just run cheap studded federal himalaya ws2 (235/45/16) on 9x18 wheels. But im dealing with ice not snow.

These are not great street tires for DD use. You compare them to PS4s but they are not the same class. These are faster wearing, much louder, worse in cool temperatures (think in the 60°s), worse in the rain, much more prone to tramlining, less comfortable, and you'll never be able to use them to their potential on public roads.

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.
