 After the first trackay, I felt I did not want to destroy my expensive and awsome Continental Sportcontact 6.

So after 6 months and 4000km with the car, I bought the 4th set of complete wheels for my wife's luck   :whistle:

I'm testing a featured Federal 595 RS-3, these will only be used for trackdays.

Therefore, I think they are good and do not go on even more expensive tires now ..

Will try these before winter, because soon the winter tires will be on ...

Much tire change  in the future ..  :grin:

Be very careful using a track tyre on a track without uprating things like bushes because the extra grip of the tyres will pull the bushes to bits after a while.

The Car is build for this, you can get semi slick Michelin from the factory now days ;)

But i know you could get problem with oilpressure, brakes and bushes on older cars with theses type of tires  :grin:

If you think so then that's fine, go for it.

Do you have adaptive suspension?
I would expect R grade tyres such as these to make the standard suspension feel quite soft on track once you get some heat into them.

See how it feels, upgraded springs may be your next modification to get the best from the tyres! :)
