Track day tyres-where do you get yours?

[Stedman]

As above, where do you get yours. I'm in the process of getting prices for another forum i'm on for a group buy. There only seems to be Camskill and a handful of others that supply Federal 595 RS-Rs.

Any help is appreciated

I've used Demon Tweeks for the same tyres. They do a discount for some car clubs (MX-5 OC for one).

The 595rsr's isn't a trackday tyre like 888's, it's more like a fast road tyre. For track work you need the Federal FZ201's.

Demon Tweeks or Camskill, DT normally cheaper.

The 595 rsr's seem popular for the US time attack:

In my experience they are better than normal road tyres on track, both sticky, progressive and tough, I was dissappointed with my 888's after they delaminated like cheap remoulds!


The 595's are significantly heavier than 888's and they need extensive balancing weights as well. (I noticed that typically there is over 100g of weights on each wheel)

That's where I bought my rsr's from. Probably around a year ago. Two 235/40/18 and two 255/35/18. £580 I recall and the cheapest I could find at the time.

Got my Federal RSR-595 tyres from Camskill, 205/45/16 excellent service, bugger to fit due to the super stiff side walls, fitted to my Satria GTi track day car.

So far have done one track day (around 2.5 hours running) cold and wet to damp day. They performed very well indeed....she embarassed some much 'faster kit' 'round the twiddly bits and handled even better than ever.

...tyres need re-balancing again but I have had this before with stiff wall/stickier tyres and the wear rate is very fair indeed....I would buy again.

hope this helps

Mark your tyre & rim, tyre is probabally moving, quite common with track cars esp with stiff sidewalls & thus lots of tyres soap needed to fit.
