Federal RSR

[pinecitygarage]

Anyone ever tried using the Federal RSR tires?

i'm currently using Federal RS which has the 180 treadwear similar to Advan AD07 tires and pretty happy with em for Circuit track and Hillclimb rally use and have been thinking of upgrading to the RSR's once i wear down my RS tires.

need you guys feedback on the RSR and its treadwear rating and grip on track.

very good & cheap tires... very good grip, less tire 'shit/gum' compare wit A048, almost 80% used still can provide very good grip & no crack at all...

JINEIL2EN,
Comparing the RSR to R888, which would be better for dry grip/track use?
Also how much roughly does the RSR cost for 205/50/15 or 195/55/15? I read somewhere that RSR 205/50/15 cost pretty cheap. Somewhere near to R888 195/55/15. R888 205/50/15 costs a lot more...RM400+

R888 is the choice btwn this 2...
RSr is around rm270-300pc last time i get in Cheras, while the R888 is rm350pc, both quoted based on 195/55-15...
not sure bout 205...

if u gona hv the tyre as all in 1 then go for the RSR, no much worry in the rain days as vs the R888. but if u r looking the best grip go for the R888 & no issue w/ some one calling u "ahwang-ahwang-ahwang" as u drive on highway.

thx guys, glad to hear the good feedback on the RS-R, will definitely get these next

Feedback
The RS as it gets worn gets stickier even when worn down to almost a full slick with just the diagonal grooves showing. unlike the AD07 which looses grip as the tire get worn down in numerous Heat Cycles.
per our Touring Car Pro Racers
the 595 EVO SS when worn down to 60% gets stickier and behaves like a 180 wear at that tread level

per my Federal contacts - the RSR has been released here in the Philippines, we are just waiting on the price listing for the RSR

fyi - i only paid rm162 a piece for my Federal RS in 195/50/15, which is 180 treadwear compared to the AD07 with the same 180 treadwear being sold at rm332
