We will see in the long run how they do, but these 215/40-17 595RS-RR federal tires nasty sticky !!! I can't spin them on pump gas, and it takes a real purposeful "chuck" at low speeds to get the inner tire to even "scratch".
They are scaring me how fast the car is capable of going

Been thinking of buying these. Where did you get them having trouble finding a source.

Online tires . Com

I tried to buy the 595RS-R's but they called me and said they were on back order. I was just going to get a refund, but they offered to sell me the RR versions for $10 a tire more. And I needed tires so....

Good to hear about the stick of those Federals, I might be getting swayed towards them instead of the slightly wider, but twice the price and ONLY available at Tire Rack, Star Specs in that size.

Yea, stock size HTR-z's. I was going to replace the rears. But they just had too much thread left to replace ( after 2 full sets of 235's on the front )

Close.... cyborg turbo, DHM race cooler, and methanol magical lol.
My charge temp started at 83 degrees ( because it was 73-75 degrees and heat soak ), and my charge temps didn't rise more than 10degrees from a stop to 6200rpm in 4th. That's damn impressive.

the federals are known to run wide. i have a set in stock size and they protrude form the wheel by ~3/8 of an inch

I've heard the 205 is more like a 215

At least according to their own spec sheet, some of the (more street compound, 240 tread wear) 595 models are as wide (TREAD WIDTH wise) as the Star Specs, but sadly NOT their (stickiest) RS-RR model, which is .3" narrower than the Dunlops.

Yes, and that is EXACTLY WHY I may go with the 215/40-17 RS-RRs over the Star Specs as well, and the .3" be damned!

You lowered? Gonna run 215/40-17 on 7.5" wide rims on Cobb springs. Don't wanna rub.

For those who think the X47 could use some help, I got you

Oh hell what are you planning lol

So, how much of your 'magic' do you think you can work on these??
(Will you be able to outdo your own C39? )

Nope, not yet.

But I DO plan to eventually do either some form of coil over, in which case I would go no lower than 1/2" to 3/4", or Swift Spec-Rs with Koni Sport yellows, however much they lower the car.

My 17x8 1.2s are 42ET, so they will not be too pushed out towards the fender lip.
