I have Federal Himalaya Inverno K1 on my Highlander and they are boss. Never gotten stuck. Never had traction issues and I can go 120 in a blizzard
Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.
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.
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.
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.
RS-RR's are good for wear also but way longer to overheat when pushed. They squeal and moan like crazy though and finding the limit of grip is very hard.
Federal 595RS-PRO 275 width - Lower grip levels than RE71 or similar, but they wear like rocks. I am on heat cycle 15 and they have no significant wear. Time deltas for me on a short, technical track are ~1.5-2 secs slower than my other tires, however.
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
Had horrible experiences with these tires on my Focus ST, chunked really quickly and weren't as fast as the RS-RR's
A friend bought them for his E92 M3 and ran one event with them before the shutdown. He said they're not very impressive at all, even his old and cycled RS3s had noticeably more grip available.
