Lots of good information here on these tires, and how they compare to RS3 and StarSpecs...

I just seem to never hear any of our local crew running the Federal 595 RS-R. Is there a specific reason why?

They aren't that known that's for sure & not too many places carry it but those are gonna be my next set. They're real popular with the SoCal evo & sti guys

What did you think of them? I have never heard any opinions on these really.

My friend has been finding online shops that seem to be carrying them. Are they legit unavailable/discontinued at this point? We were considering trying to drum up enough interest for a group buy if people really wanted them. Maybe that idea is impossible.

He has not called to verify. I'll have him do that, but also mention your availability issue.

R-S3 are the best bang for the buck IMO since they are considerable cheaper than SS.
Z2 should be arriving Q4-Q1. They are guestimated to be around the same price as Z1's and Tire Rack will have the exclusive distribution rights on them. This means they won't be cheap.
