I run these on my daily but my daily commute is 8-9 miles total so I just deal with the tire noise. But it is very noticeable. They are rated at 200TW so don't expect the same mileage as a PS4S. 7 to 10K is the average a lot of people report seeing out of the RS-RR

For the money nothing will grip as hard. That being said they need some heat in them to get the most out of them. I run them hard on track and they put a smile on my face. I'm not breaking track records so, again, for the money, great value.

Pros: great value, hard grip
Cons: very noticeable tire noise
Vehicle: Subaru

As others have said - great tire for the money. I've had mine for almost a year now of daily driving and approximately 80\~ autocross runs. They behave like other 200tw tires but lack the ultimate grip the better ones have.

Pros: great tire for money
Cons: lacks ultimate grip

I run them on my Mk6 Golf R in STH. I would not recommend daily driving on them as they are very loud. They do have excellent dry grip but not the best as others are noting in this thread. These are a great starter tire if you aren't looking to get the best edge in equipment, or a good change of pace if you want to challenge yourself to be a better driver.

Pros: excellent dry grip
Cons: very loud

I have them, run them on my ES miata, couldn't be happier with their performance on the course. I've heard the re71r is a bit more predictable with stepping out and I would believe that. Also, for daily driving, these things hum like there is a cessna flying low behind you. I have won ES Class in one of the events I ran them in against 6 or 7 others.

Pros: happy with performance
Cons: very noisy
Vehicle: Mazda

The federal RS-R and RS-RR are unbelievable on the front. I have drifted at 60mph through puddles and never once understeered. On dry they are crazy grippy as well.

Pros: crazy grippy, no understeer

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

Pros: good performance
Cons: very noisy

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.

Pros: gripped great in dry
Cons: rear end let go
Vehicle: BMW

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.

Pros: cheap learning/fun tire
Cons: soft sidewalls
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...

Cons: worn almost to belt
