Re: Federal Tyres
what do you want them for? street, track, streetable track or trackable street? there`s always a `better catch` if you are willing to pay more
just to list a few:
track
pilot sport cup, ao48m, nt01, r888
streetable track
595rs, ao48mh (a bit loud), nt555r
trackable street
rt615, re01 (these can take track abuse well) , r1r
street
ps2, the most $ensible

Re: Federal Tyres
The Potenza RE55 is coming to Spore according to SE Tires guys.
The tire maker is now studying which compound suits our weather conditions.
Just like the AO48MH for Sepang use. The Medium AO48 is PI only.
Kiddy,
RT615 is in the same class at 595RS but in my experience, RT615 is more superior.

Re: Federal Tyres
samuel, go get yours from rod.
his are staggered too and he intends to sell his. brand new - less than 1000kms. just got it but he feels it's too heavy. kekekeke...
i'm on federals, good value for $$$. especially when they're for your daily drive.
can't give you the scores, as it is really not comparing apples to apples, but it's almost in the performance tyre category, but not price-wise.
jeff and i have driven at 140kmh+ on nsh in the rain on federals, whilst 'playing' with other cars... just an example of how good these tyres are - not asking you to try doing the same thing (we're a bit crazy lah)...

Re: Federal Tyres
oh.. his potenza R001R, i think its too heavy, ever try handling it at tyres shop.. but likes the rubber, very sticky...
hmmm.. maybe i can sell him my F1 Asym, staggered too, 17"... definitely lighter.. but lose to Conti and PS
federal price is super attractive...
errhh.. how would you compare the federals to ?? i am sure you driven others tyres before..
somehow i feel that symmetrical tyres are very good in rain.. and also grip too..no wonder 140 on nsh
my wife's ford laser on nexen 2000, damn cheap and decent grip, better than stock NCT3, and grips even better in rain.. for me only setback is soft sidewall, body roll during sharp cornering..
i am contemplating on st115 too. driven used ones on my previous e36 on 215/45/17, damn good grip, low noise, safe in the rain, and hit the expressway exit at high speed without braking. but dont get to heard much about st115 in the forum..
hmm.. or should i go for the advan sport, csc3, ps2, etc...

Re: Federal Tyres
only thing is Feds dun last very long and they is noisy. had em on the E30. starts off very nice and grippy but the rubber seems to start becoming harder and stiffer along the way with wet grip not that super and noisy. fun while it last.
Michelin PS2s FTW...
nex tyres i'll be going for after the PS2s are the Goodyear F1 Asyms.

Re: Federal Tyres
do not deny that federals were crap previously and the impression is 'it's made in taiwan so there's a limit to how good it can be'.
but the quality has improved quite a bit. i'm a fussy bastard, and i feel that it's quite alright - cent for cent in comparison to better european and jap brands.
i've even used them on the track and must say that i was impressed.
i've been using them for about a year now, and it's still going strong.
when rod heard that you're interested samuel, he's offered to sell them to you at a fantastic price. asked you to call him or nadia for details.
