Federal 595RS vs 595RS-R

[d-anie-l]

Hi,

Is there a difference between the Federal tyres you are currently selling and the 595RS that used to be sale in the UK a year or so ago? I was under the impression is was merely a name change, but somebody suggested they are a different design.

Thanks

RS = 180 TWR, and medium stiffness sidewalls
RSR = 140 TWR 2mm less tread than the RS, and quite a bit stiffer sidewalls.

Thanks. Is there a way of telling them apart? I suspect I have the RS now that a friend has recently bought a set.
