Federal track day tyres
Some interesting track day tyres from Federal...
The 595 RS-R according to the spec appears to be more like a 195-45-15 than a 195-50-15 (557mm OD) & costs £78 from DT.

The posers among us may prefer the FZ-201 as it has a fancy tread pattern and is larger at 576mm OD and costs £102 from DT.

Get that price agreed an I'll have a set tomorrow!!!
Back to the OP, I was talking to a chap who worked for a motorsport tyre distributors and he said that the 595RS-R have been performing really well.
The other ones I was looking at were the MaxSport RB5's, but they only do them in 185/55/15. Will be alright on some old steelies though

388.80 for a set of 15s R888 rubber, thats surely a good deal?
The only problem i have is i reckon that we could get massive amounts of people on this, and 50 sets of R888 rubber at my house would be epic lol!!

Surely he means delivery to individual address'?
Post a thread up in the tyres forum and see how many we can get interested, if they only require 5 for a 10% discount, if we get say 15, then surely we can wangle a 15% discount

Lol, an extra 5% is a big wangle

I will send them a further email upon numbers.

I was looking that them tyres the fz201 but the price went straight up so worked out more than others, then got a good deal on some silverstone type RR,
I dnt think any one on here has try the silverstone, but in a test back to back with other tyres including 888 and AD48 it came out on top.
It also include Other semi slick tyres.
Maybe worth a look, but I know the price is high on them now as I got them for 80 quid a tyre include vat, but know normal price is over 100 quid a tyre.

You should of got a price for the 595 RS-R as well...
If the quoted o.d. Is correct it'd be better suited to a saxo/106.

i did they where abit more after i got the price on the silverstone, but was told that they are more a fast road/track day, not a semi slick as such, if i am correct though, the 201 are not for the road at all, i think they state on the tyre competion only.
ill get the review on the silverstone,
see review, seem to be good from what they are saying.
