Anyone used Federal RSR 595 on Mk5 Chassis?

(1/4) > >>

Tfsi_Mike:

Wondering what the wear rate is like.

I can get som more R1Rs but Sy rated the Federals in the Fabia (but thats probably quite a bit lighter?)

need 2 new semi slicks to do a track day.

Useful comments welcome  :happy2:

Beddie has them on his track wheels.

If you need 2 tyres to do a track day, i would suggest matching your existing pair, rather than running odd tyres (makes no sense to do that)

Will see if I can get hold of Beddie, cheers.

I have 2 R1R on the back with some tread left.  Was going to put them on the front and 2 new R1R on the back to match.

Just thought if the existing 2 aren't going to last long it would be a time to try something new, all beit would have mixed tyres for a trackday, maybe 2.

IMO... i would get 2 R1Rs. I wouldnt run mixed tyres anymore on the road... never mind the track.

Or take the hit and buy 4 RSRs, depending what I find out about the wear rate
