i want to get actual feedback from people that are using this on the Circuit Track, Roadrace or Auto-X.
I am currently using the Federal RS 180 treadwear (these are equivalent to ADVAN AD07 with the same treadwear) tires for Circuit and hillcimb races and the tires take about a complete lap to get to operating temp, then they get really grippy, once i wear these RS tires down, i am looking into getting the RSR soon, so any feedback on the RSR would be appreciated.
tia, Tevs

How's the sidewall? I've ordered my set of humble Feds, for streets use, of course. Supposedly compound harder than GY. More economical alternatives as well.. Hav not arrived yet..
Btw, say, why's yer offset +32 when it's 15 6.5? What's yer take on this?

the white SE-R (Stateside) has the ADVAN SA03R rims with the +32 Offset, the offset is perfect using 205 wide Falken Azenis, what it does is widen the track of the car, making for better cornering and high speed stability.
i would not have been able to fit 205 wide tires if i had a +38 or +40 and above rim as the rear tire would rub against the strut casing. unless of course i resort to a 5mm spacer for the +38
our Nissan B13's Love a low Offset and the +32 would be the lowest to go, as anything lower would have the rear tires being shaved off by the rear fenders unless we roll em in
the 6.5 width of the ADVAN rims cup the 205 wide Falken Azenis perfectly.
What i am currently using here in the Philippines is a Rota Rim, 15 x 6.5 with a +38 Offset, the size Federal RS Tire i'm using is 195/55/15.
The Federal's have a pretty ok sidewall (not as stiff as the Falken Azenis RT-215) reaching operating temp is not as quick as the Advan AD07.
180 is still a very streetable tire wear and so is 140, anything touching close to a 100 wear would be what i consider a full intermediate.
