Tires FEDERAL or PHANTOM

Federal tires are fantastic on a budget.

Over all, very happy with the RS-RRs last year and will be buying another set when these run their course.

RS-RR will have more grip without a doubt the price is quite good for what you get however keep in mind these tires are loud as shit like really really loud.

Federal 595 RS-R. It's a very well priced tyre.

I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.

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.

Probably one of the loudest tires I’ve had.. Federal 595 RSRR

Full tread they were good in the rain but definitely left something to be desired once they got below half tread.

federal rs-rr are decent but they do get greasy towards the end of your sessions.

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.
