Federal Rsr owners

Can someone do me a favour or know the answer.

Is the 195 more 205. And 205 more 215?

Tar

 

[Mr Plums]

I think the 50 is more like a 45 iirc.

 

[imprezaworks]

I think it’s passed your bed time iirc

Im being serious mate, because they are semi slicks im sure people use 50 profile rather than the regular 45 profile.

 

[imprezaworks]

I run 15’s mate.

Current tyres are 195/50.

I read somewhere the rsr is a wider tyre.

Oh sorry im not sure on widths buddy.

 

[Coops Mk1]

totally irrelevant anyway as they offer no grip no matter how wide :tonguewink:

 

[imprezaworks]

I allays liked them tbh.

And of the tyres i tried on the road/track they were my favourite. Because slow racer.

 

[Coops Mk1]

they're about comparable to NS2-R in 180 guise ime. although in all fairness not run them in a good few years

 

[JB21]

They have a treadwear rating of 140 so a bit softer than the NS2-R 180s but I don't think they get any better reviews than the Nankangs...

I’m on 595rsr’s and haven’t ran anything other on my clio. 205/50/15

Used all the others on other cars tho but for the price of 595’s there good value for money

 

[imprezaworks]

Where do you get yours from? The usual places? About £60 each.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Last lot I got 4 off eBay from jjc for 200 quid

 

[imprezaworks]

Recently?

 

[Chambers_RS]

Not really

Early February and only covered one track day :weary:

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol. Yeah hey are 67 each.

Get them for about 61 elsewhere

 

[STEVE.M]

195/50r15 £55.50 at Camskill`s.

 

[imprezaworks]

They were 61 the other day when I spoke to him. Plus the £4 postage each.

 

[bloke]

got to admit i've hardly driven on them but the few times i have in the wet from cold they aren't confident inspiring and that wasn't in the winter either, for the driving you do i wouldn't fancy them.

ad08r is better from cold in the wet and from the prices you've mentioned they are cheaper as well!!

 

[imprezaworks]

How much are ado8’s now?

 

[bloke]

just asked for price but am sure they are £200 give or take a tenner?

 

[STEVE.M]

I thought you were happy with your Avons?
ps3`s are £53, and RS3`s £37 in 195/50r15.
I definitely would not suggest R595R`s for normal road use.

 

[Djw John]

Gotta agree with bloke, not much experience of them but they were shite when I used them.
To me they seemed like budget tyres with fancy tread pattern.

R595R `s are a track day soft compound tyre for dry use, and as such work well at a reasonable price.
You can legally drive to a track and home on them, but they are very marginal in the wet or when not up to temperature.

 

[Djw John]

I get that, didn't really want to comment on track stuff as I only passengered with them on but @Djw Dave didn't rate them much for that either!

They kind of strike me as a compromise everywhere.

They are what they are at the price.
I don`t dispute that there are better choices for more money.
I think everybody is agreed that they are not a good day to day tyre.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah think they were about 190 last time I checked

 

[ripp]

I have the RSR's as summer tyres in 205/45 r16. And I can tell you they are wider than the Pilot Exalto's and the hankook ventus RS-2's that I had before them in the same size.
So I guess the 195's will be more like a regular 205 tyre.
