PM Rudiger for his experience with them. I paid $250 per corner for Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics 2s in 17". I've written up about them in Tyre Comparo topic in this section. Heard that the Federals were a mixed experience and once again not tried them. I was thinking of buying Falkens though - got as far as getting quotes - think they were close to $200 per corner from memory. Also Google UK Tyre Review - they've got a good tyre comparison website with ratings. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't comment on the grip of the RSR's but they look as I'd they'd have the same aquaplaning prob as the SS's without vertical sipes (aka most bridgestone/conti's)Spend a bit more, tires are the most important part of your car.

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 23d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 11/11/12 09:32 PM Share Posted 11/11/12 09:32 PM 452's were an awesome budget tyre on WRX (was only getting 8-12k kms per set)..Had 595's in 19's on a BA.. Can't say they wow'd me much.. But still an alright all rounder.. Neither was a quiet tyre though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
