Proven on the circuit, the 595RS-R is highly acclaimed and much demanded for drifting, sprinting and track-day applications. The sleek design and ultra high performance of the 595RS-R makes it the number one choice for those requiring a motorsport tire but with the assured standards of a street legal tire. Even DOT approved or E-Mark approved Federal competition tyres are designed and compounded for competition use only and are not intended for highway or road use..

Very responsive tyre, loads of feedback and perfect dry road tyre. Warms up quickly and tonnes of grip. Not bad in the wet, but no where near as good as designated premium wet tires. Would definitely recommend for a summer fun vehicle.

brilliant tyre, I run all summer, and do many track days, 90% as good on track as more expensive tyres, yet usable on the road. hard wearing. downsides are noise and comfort, but thats not what you buy track tyres for! lol.. recomended

Not for everyone. This is a tyre designed primarily for circuit driving not everyday road use, but if you want to enhance an eggressively sporty car with a tyre that responds well to being pushed hard in corners thin this is good value. It has a noticeably stiffer construction than regular uhp road tyres and its tread compound if pretty soft. steering if very direct but perhaps a little too lively on uneven surfaces. But its a trackday tyre really, so its all about the extra dry grip and its much better at taking the heat and abuse in that environment.
