A fantastic road and and track tyre
While the Oponeo website might think that MGs don't exist any more, I have fitted a set of these tyres to my track-going MGF. The conclusion in short is that I am delighted with my choice, and will definitely be buying these again! I am not sure how they can be beaten for value-for-money.
The mid-engined MGs are extremely sensitive to tyres, but on road and track, I have absolute faith in these Federal RSRs. Even in the rain, and semi-flooded track conditions, the tyres appear to find far more purchase than you'd attribute to track-biased rubber. They are predictable, and have a nice, progressive breakaway when the levels of adhesion are eventually breached.
After a season of hill-climbs, sprints and a few track days - plus all the mileage of driving to and back from these events, I am amazed that I still have 5mm of tread left after 3,000 non-so gentle miles.
Genuinely, I don't think I could have asked for more!!!

Great tyres for the price
Bought this tyres because I came across this brand about 20 years ago and they were great at that time but the car I was driving at that time was only a 1.6 golf and they were doing brilliant there and then . Now they still good tyres but I presume for less powerful cars as I had them on the rear wheels and they keep skidding driving a rear wheel traction car with 700nm torque, the tyres are definitely sporty tyres . I’ve been driving around 8000 miles on them and they still look like new , only 0.9 of a millimetre went off from the genuine tread . Definitely recommended to everyone
