Tires FEDERAL or PHANTOM

FEDERAL Tires

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

The Federals have been good for me the last couple of years for a budget tire, but they're really only a budget friendly tire for larger sizes.

Pros: budget friendly
Cons: only for larger sizes

Federal command 2.4s have been my favorite so far. Smooth center tread for good rolling and speed retention, but still have some tread on the side for banking and grind protection. Rubber compound they use is also getting softer with time/riding so they feel better the more worn in they get.

Pros: good rolling, speed retention
Cons: no cons

PHANTOM Tires

Phantoms are America's/Discount Tire own brand tire. They're a mid range tire that are for SUV's mainly but the smaller trucks like f-150, and the 1500's can run it if they are older from when they had the smaller frames. Better than the cheapest option out there, but don't expect top tier performance like, Michelin, Yokohama, and so on.

I'd recommend them if you do in city driving mainly, but they'll still be fine on highway driving. They're fine in wet weather as well. But again they arent top tier, but a decent budget tire so you don't break the bank.

Pros: decent budget tire
Cons: not top tier

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.

Cons: no traction feedback, sudden loss
Mileage: 4800 km
