Tires FEDERAL or OEM Honda

Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!

I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).

I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.

Federal 595 RS RR

Wear earplugs. They're great.

And, dang, they really stuffed some meaty tires on it. Hope those are production spec and it's properly geared to turn them.

The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.

Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.

Finally, check your tire date codes. Tires older than 6 or 7 years are no longer suitable for riding on, as they have lost a lot of their elasticity and therefore grip.

I have a set of Federal RSRR. They only have about 3,000 miles on them. I took them to a track day and there was no feedback on when the tire would lose traction, the car would go from full grip to zero in a snap.

Had horrible experiences with these tires on my Focus ST, chunked really quickly and weren't as fast as the RS-RR's
