Has any one run Fedral 595 RSR's as a street/track tyre? How long did they last? What was your opinion on them?

Also has anyone ordered tyres before from Demon Tweeks? How long did they take to get here and anything I should watch our for?

Thanks

i run a set on the astra, not daily driven but sees street and track as im too lazy/cheap to buy a 2nd set of wheels.

decent enough in the wet if your sensible, great on the street and not bad on the track (not as good as proper r-comps obviously).

Wear has been good enough for me but as mentioned i dont do huge amounts of km's.

Cheap too, www.racingready.com.au , good prices and good to deal with.

Craig (Spektre) has run the Federals. Fletty too.

I havent ordered tyres from Demon Tweeks, but was pricing up some Toyo's from Tirerack.
Only to be told Toyo wont allow them to sell them outside the US. Fuck.

Cool Thanks guys. Did another price check last night and the AD08's were actually cheaper than the RSR and under $900 to my door. They will get fitted when I fix the wheels up so fitting cost is in there. So looks like AD08's are probably the way to go.

From Demon Tweeks:
AD08 225/45/17 x4 = $583.52
RSR 225/45/17 x4 = $621.40

+ $250 postage.

Anyone got any experience with running the Pirelli P zero's ? Car will be used as daily + occasional tracking.
