Federal 595RS Sport Competition tyres

595RSs are like RT615s.

The RS-Rs have softer rubber and reinforced sidewalls. I don't think they're R-comps, though.

I'd say they would be RT615's rival.

I'm not in the market for them as im getting some 888 and c-drives (gotta love tax return time!) but was just letting people know that the 15's are now available!

I think they are very similar to the RT 615. How they compare against each other I have no idea. But they do come i the elusive 16\" size

For reference - Vic MX-5 Club is classing 595 RSRs as R-comps.
RT-615s are classed as street tyres.

There's a proven technique. 2 on the passenger's seat side by side in line with the car, 1 behind the passenger's seat, 1 in the boot.

Lol, I did exactly that, except I had rims on my wheels and a BD bar!!! Took a few bungie cords with me to hold the 4th wheel to the back of the BD bar.

You mean like this.... :lol:

No, no, no! The 3rd wheel fits down behind the passenger seat, between the seat back and the panel between the cabin and the boot. Trust me, a 205/50r15 will go in there OK.

How do you fit 2 on the passenger seat with one behind the seat? I can only just fit two on the seat with it fully back...
