    Looks like the new Federal 595RS-RR is now 200TW. Anybody try out the new tire?

    Very tempting but, I have some 595 RS-R’s I need to kill before I buy any more tires.

    Are the RS-RR tires the same as RS-R? Just a different TW200 stamp? I am not up to date on Federals.
    I did look at the link above.

    Are these better than the Bridgestone 71s that everyone runs? Which are cheaper?

    No it's a new tire.

    I don’t know how fast they are, but I expect them to be a little slower than the BFG’s or 71’s that’s just a guess. They are about ½ the price of the BFG’s I run in Corvette sizes.

    I don't think they are as fast as RE71 or Rival-S but they are way cheaper. Should be as fast or faster than last crop of tires like RS3. They used to be 140TW. They are more aggressive than the RS-R

    Too bad they don't make a 315/35/17..... I wish I could obtain some Y rated or better rubber in this size. 275/40 for the fronts too. I'm dreading buying 19" wheels, but that may be the route I need to go to take my new toy to the TX or AR mile in a year or so.

    Anyone running a 315 is on a 18 or 19" wheel+

    I have a car sitting in the garage that had 315/35/17 sized rubber from the factory. It's just getting super hard to find anymore because people have moved on to larger diameter wheels. I know exactly what I am looking for and trying to avoid. Finding aftermarket wheels in 18" or 19" diameter with the correct offsets is also a real pain for this car. I may end up spending a fortune on forgelines or something like that out of necessity as much as anything else eventually.

    Those are actually really good quality. Or at least the 18x10.5 c5Z replica is. They are close to stock weight and were on my vette when I wrecked it earlier this year. The wheel held up really well to the impacts.

    Sadly what I need is standard c6 front offset and c6 grand sport or z06 rear offset and 11 to 12" wide rears. The c4 ZR-1 is a wheel nightmare. I may contact a shop about mixed c6 sizing this winter when I have cash. I also need 186 mph rubber so I can safely run the TX or OK mile. My wallet is shaking in fear.

    Don't know if it helps, but I've still got those 18x9.5 C5 wagon wheels (set of 5) that have gotten VERY cheap...
