Tires FEDERAL or WANLI

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.

My vehicles have better luck with certain Chinese brands like Wanli and Sailun than some other brands I got from Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia - like Monsta, Arivo and Accelera.

Federal 595 RS RR

Wear earplugs. They're great.

Ok yang Wanli d best yan, mas ok pa sa dunlop yan. Yan gamit ko sa fortuner ko alpinism su006.

I have a shitbox I daily drive in the city (an old Hyundai Accent). I don't want to spend too much money on its tires so I bought a set of 185/55r15 Wanli Harmonics for only around 170 USD including mounting and balancing. I've driven 6000 miles on it so far.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Noisy, doesn't have that much grip (I can do a front wheel burnout now with 140hp lol), wears out quickly (I've already shaved maybe 20% of its tread)

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.

I got federals once because bills were coming all at once. Worst tires i ever had, so noisy, rough on the road and just didn’t feel great. Snow they were actually great surprisingly.

I had off brand wan-li winter champions on an AWD car years ago, these tires came with the car. Traction was fine, stopping better in the winter. Noise and road comfort was awful. At 110-120km/hr, they were super loud and sucked driving with them on.
