they don't have the 595RSR with 160 tread wear in stock , but they do have the SS595 with a 260 tread wear. Both are not to be confused with the SS595RSR, :roll:

I'm really liking the 195 RSRs so far. Only one event and one Dragon run, though, and all I have to compare them to are worn-out Rivals. That said, for the price I'm thrilled!

Ted they have the RSR's in a 195/50/15 and they are 140 TW at 63.99 each, but are out of stock now and onlinetires.com has them in 195/50/15 and 205/50/15 and I think onlinetires have them in stock and for a set of 4 of the 205's it would be about 350.00 to have them shipped to you and they are in CA.

Tires are in and just from looking at them, they look very good with a very aggresive tread pattern. Wide grooves should provide good tire patch in the rain as well. I should have them mounted on Saturday morning but will not get to test drive them till next week due to the cars n coffee on Sunday and the trailer cleaning on Saturday, looking forward to seeing a bunch of you on Saturday at the trailer cleaning party at Lins house on Bob Gray road.

First report on the federals after putting them on the GT500, SWEET they are far better than the goodskates that were on the car from the factory. They grip way better, ride smoother and are probably the best street tire I have ever drove on. Now with that said I have only driven 3300 pound cars or heavier, but I think for the price on any thing over 2900 pounds they will be hard to beat.
