FEDERAL Tires

I have used the 595-RSR tires for 8 years now, several sets. yes they are noisy, get worse with miles but I noticed the newest ones were even louder! These tires are the ultimate in grip/handling, one of the few that can put FWD power to the ground. Make my cars handle like its on rails and they don't squeal when pushing to the limit around corners. They are so sticky they pick up all the rocks/debris and throw it up in your wheel wells/rockers. I think they are easily one the best handling tire out there. Very stiff sidewalls, but extremely loud (like louder than winter tires). If you can handle the sound and dont expect a lot of miles out of them, go for it.

Pros: ultimate grip/handling, stiff sidewalls
Cons: very loud, picks up debris

I've gone through at least 5 sets of 651's over the past 4-5 years of daily driving and autox (07 scion tC & now a 17 BRZ). as a budget tire, really can't complain for learning without breaking the bank.

Pros: budget tire, good learning

I really like the federal command tires, they were an amazing price (around 60$ for 2). They also have a very pronounced grind protection lip on the side wall. On a super hot supper day they have amazing grip and wonderful feedback.

My only complaint is because they are a slick tire, you get amazing rolling, but the second there is a dusting of sand on a hard surface you can slip out pretty easy.

Pros: amazing grip, wonderful feedback
Cons: slips on sand

I purchased Federal Xplora RT tires and they are the best tires I've ever had. I got them three years ago and I have over 40k on them and they are barely warn. They are literally 100k tires. Wet traction and hydroplane resistance are excellent. I did a little bit of snow and they did well there too.

Pros: excellent wet traction, long lasting
Mileage: 64373 km

I run Federal RSRR on the front of my drift car and Id say its TOO much grip in comparison to the rear 'whatever-I-Can-get" used tires.

Pros: too much grip

Cons: lower mileage in winter

Those tires are the lowest budget-high grip tires you can buy. Can't have everything for free, noise is to be expected with that kind of tire peformance

Pros: high grip
Cons: lowest budget, noisy

595s are super squishy. I'd say, out of all performance tires, they have the least stiff sidewall. It's definitely you reducing how much sidewall you have by going up to bigger wheels.

Pros: super squishy, least stiff sidewall
Cons: less comfortable than Primacys

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.

Cons: faster wearing, much louder
