My preference would be the Toyo's.
But, I've only ever used them.. So its a biased choice Lol.
Although my brother has AD08's at the moment and he praises them to the high heavens.

one thing is the federal 595 are more a 888, ad48 trye not a ad08. r1r tyre.
but the r1r and federal 595 have the same tread wear, but the ad08 has a higher one so will last longer.
but like i said federals are more a 888, ad48 trye.
what is it for? full track use? or both track and road?

For the price then federals are the best tyre, a lot of people rated them better than 888.
But 888 have tread wear of 100.

id go for the federals out of that list as they seem to be the best value for money.

Yer Danny mybad, sure people knew what I meant
Could get silverstone type RR ? But have a much higher wear rate due to the way they grip.

used my r1r tyres today, had them a year lol
gave it a proper spanking, feel just as good as a r888, on the road obviously may be different story with track temp in them.
just a heads up that they are decent tyres
