Which 195s have you been using to track it on standard rims?195s are fine on standard, have been using them for ages, many many track days and they are still on the wheels. HTH
No no no no. Way too wide for the stupid 5.5" width standard wheels. 195's are too wide, though some people manage to squeeze them on and haven't died yet.Would the 215/40/17 be the most suitable for standard sized fronts?

What are these likely to be like in the wet? Similar to R888s? I don't use the car over the winter at the mo, but have been caught out in heavy rain before, which has been fine with Ad08s.

I notice the 595RS-R tyres only have 6.2 mm of tread, how much road milage do you guys get out of them please?

R888 I used to get approx 3k to rears and 5k to fronts.
Some sets with track days others none at all but similar split of miles
No doubt they could get more but I never used to care tbh. I did change at wear markers

Hi folks where are you buying your Federal 595RS-R tyres from?
Are they as wide as Toyo or Yoks? R888 are particularly wider than regular tyres that have the same stated width.
Kind regards, Paul
