Tires Pirelli or FEDERAL

The federal rsr 595s I'm using on the rse05s hold up much better at the track.

Outperformed my 02 Cooper S at an AutoX event! I'm also talking about in the rain vs other tires I've had. Blows Michelins, Toyos, Pirellis, Goodyears out of the water no pun intended lol. They also seem to handle side/cornering load well. My continentals were cooked after a few track days and spirited drives while these seem fine. No chunking or odd wear patterns on the edge of the tread/sidewall. Any of those who have tracked will know what I'm referring to.

I had 155/55r14s or something like that on snowflakes and they ran great/handled great. I had to run spacers for the fitment to look right. and on my cups I have 165/45r15s. By far the best performing stretched tires I've ridden. And they can hit a pothole at 70mph and protect the wheel from bending.

I've been very happy with Discount Tire, they've worked with me in the past on pro-rating tires, etc. These tires have gotten me through 10+ inches of snow this year three or four times plus a night of driving on pure ice on the highway home from work at midnight when it was -13 and salt wasn't working. I'm very positive on these tires!

Federal 595 are great for the price. $80 for some super sticky stuff

Never felt that way on pavement, but on those metal bridges sure, almost every tire I've ever had does exept the G-forces or the slicks on my m3. I actually really am happy with the Performance and life of the Pirelli Scorpion's. I've got 13,000 miles on mine and at 10/32s on the hot Florida roads thats awesome. Deff not worth switching out.

The Pirelli PZero Rosso is by far my favourite road tyre ever :thumbup:

I have the same problems with my p zero neros also. Right at 70 mph that steering wheel jitters. It's not bad, but somewhat irritating. I have had the tires balanced and rotated twice, but the jitter remains. It does seem to be getting better with mileage however. I must say though, these are by far the best all season performance tires I have owned.

I agree with the above poster; the Pirellis were less then impressive. Im at the end of the life of my 2nd set and have gotten 36K out of the 1st and 31K out of the second. They have cupped horribly, and consequently they are noisy as hell.

Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...
