prodrive11 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just bought a set of 2nd hand great deal Federal 596 RS-R 235/40/18 mildly used with lots of meat. Now im mostly thinking of skidding, but since it's not standard, wondering is anyone running those and does it still feel good/better or maybe worse ?

ZMANALEX Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Not advised IMHO. Did you mean 595/596? You really require a 245 or more on the rear. You will have circa -2.5% difference in rolling radius.

Ekona Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If you just want to go sideways easy on a DWYB day then go for it. If you care about balance and not wanting the rear to try to overtake the front all the time and able to make decent progress on the roads then it’s a terrible idea.

Depends how pretty they are though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
