Federal RSR for winter use

[Meek_racing]

How do these perform in the cold, wet and snowing weather to come?

Pretty much as you would expect a track tyre with big tread blocks to perform. They dont like standing water, all year round, not just winter. When it gets cold they are fine for normal driving so long as you take care. The are by no means lethal, but a half decent normal tyre will easily out perform it.

I'm into my second winter running them now and so long as I go easy they are fine.

Sums it up perfectly IMO. I have had no issues with them

This is good news then, fingers crossed they are ok on a light RWD car...

A mate of mine runs them on his MX5. Same story really, go easy on standing water and no provoking the rear and you will be fine.

They'll be shite, I wouldn't want to use them through the winter

I would prefer to use budgets.
Yes SRS.

No ABS, no TC, no ESP and Federal RSR's will be reet.

Winter tyres: real men run semi slicks.
