A question... Usually Federal tyres are manufactured in which country?
Federal is Taiwan base, but manufacturing depends where they put their factory....:driver:

does the hankook RS-3 come in small size like 15' ? Price ?
although I just change my front tyres to Parada 2 .
because HK magazine quoted the RS-3 is far better than RS-2.

I think they start in 16" if not mistaken, but according to my friend seems it is imported by different importer last time. Now since Hankook on their own in Malaysia hopefully they do bring it in.
RS3 is new version, sure to be better then RS2. Parada 2 is mid category only, and RS3 is extreme category, totally miles apart....:smokin:

Look like KU36, price like KU36 but near RS-3 performance.......wow......:driver:
RS-3 does come in 15. Price is RM4xx, almost Ventus TD price.

Don't be cheered by the treadwear, it is far better than 595RS-R, AD08R, R1R.

Spoken to my friend, Kumho V720 is introduced to cover sizes not available from KU36. Which is 195/55 and 195/50, price is slight higher but still lower than all three of above mentioned. Performance is expected to outperform KU36, but we'll see once me and my friend try them out. Cheers

Wah this is too extreme for daily drivers and a slow poke like me.
How about the regular/plain 595, is it good, and what sort of price range is it?
Federal Tyres - UHP - 595
Coz I saw it has all the sizes I need (225/50R17 & 245/45R17).

Federal 595SS is the oldest model. Probably you can go with 595Evo for the front since you want directional and 595RPM which is asymmetric in pattern....:biggrin:

I was on those 595 Evos at one time. Noisy and pretty decent grip. Great water dispersal but you get for what you pay. They aren't expensive but damn they are noisy.

The RPM & EVO don't have 225/50/17 (at least based on their web search result). So I can only consider the plain 595.
Noise is not so critical coz I always listen to loud music! \m/
