Best Road legal track tyre I have used. Way better than 888s
Not such a good allrounder as a good road tyre. They need temp in them to work - and on a damp cold day on the road you might not get them working properly. But once warmed up in the dry especialy - superb.
Gary if you read this. Hoping to get car back and running by Christmas. So will be intouch - with the latest spec sheet now a 2.1 not a 2.5

Watch out for some inferior ones from Europe as they are not the same , although they look the same but cheaper.
So cheap for a reason, buy from well known uk sellers IMO.
Dmak, maxis and silverstone track tyres are good too.
888s are getting hard to get hold of nowadays and will/are rocketing in prices due to factory being demolished.

Have these on the track car.
Absolutely fantastic value for money. Outright grip i'd say is very slightly less than my previous a048 tyres, however for the cost diff (nearly 100 quid a corner!) I'm definitely sticking with the rsr.
They are easy to control on the limit IMO, better than the 048s. Not brilliant in the wet, but no worse than e.g road tyres on track, as long as its not bucketing it down.

Didn't realise so many Scoobynetters had tried them & with good feedback too
There is an interesting video review done in Japan: (video below)
"A team of evaluators spent a full track day behind the wheel were treated a taste of tire test at Nikko Circuit. To quantify, equalize and determine its real worth of a tire, five of the more recent releases in the ultra-high performance category from various makers were tested on a well prepared Impreza GRB, equipped with new; full tread depth tires in size 235/40R18. Publication has conducted a comprehensive evaluation by undergoing a series of time attack and drifting which encompassed all 5 hot laps each to monitor and analyze steering characteristics of every tire as a measure of overall balance.
By the end of the test, the 595 RS-R competition tire was recognized to offer quicker response and higher levels of grip, as well as more consistency lap after lap. According to the magazine in the May 2009 edition, 595RS-R performed particularly well in all factors that drive overall satisfaction. Two test drivers Mr. Takashi Oi and Mitsuhiro Kino****a were both enthusiastic about the Federal’s performance, they gave a comment on the independent commendation stated:” There is always a phenomenal amount of traction on the tread for Federal 595 RS-R, its steering performance remained responsive when initially turning off center as the vehicle accelerated around some of the tighter corners on the test track. ” In addition, they also advises drivers who shod Federal tire to differ tire pressure based on how, what and where you drive for a smooth ride."
If the Jap boffins think its good...then its good for me!! lol
