i've bought one set on 2011, for nurburgring & spa trip.... result ? cubic rubber so over 80miles per hours horrible vibration ... and cracked tires after spa 3 round.

but i've loved them, for cost _& overall performance.

Now, on month ago, purchased nnew set, made on late of march 13, and fantastic, no vibration, no faulty holes on pattern.. damn good tires. also on nurburgring & spa again, made on 3/4 august no problem at all.

very happy

So my theory is true. After 2012 Federal have made some changes to the compound of the tyre and it doesn't crack.

4500 miles after the 3-day track event and still no cracks or problems with the late 2012 RSRs!

Look at the date when those videos about 595 RSR were uploaded wink So I am pretty sure that they start producing them 2007 smile

That's excellent news, I will grab myself another set once I've killed on my Yokohama AO48's next smile Was generally happy with the level of grip the old compound gave too.

Win win!
