Federal ST-1 Evoluzion Tire Review on an R53 Mini Cooper S

Note: apparently these run about one size wide. I did not notice on my 205s, but others have noticed in 275s.
This is my second car to have the Federal ST-1 Evoluzion; I previously ran them on my E39 540i. They were new back then, but I now have a total over about 20,000 miles on this set. They have also done three track days with very respectable manners at the limit. I continue to be very impressed with how they have performed. They grip very will during spirited driving but are also pretty quiet when I am cruising. They do extremely well in the rain; it takes a pretty big puddle to hyrdoplane these tires. They also have a good look to them; they add a sporty look to the car. I have no complaints, especially once you factor in the price. I will definitely be buying them again. Overall, I would say Federal Tires has a great product in the ST-1 tire.

Hey, do they run wider in size? I mean, is 225 like a 235? A lot of people say they run wide... i just ordered a pair of 275/30R20 for my 440i gran coupe and i was planning to order 285 but because of comments i have ordered a set of 275...

I am not sure. They seemed normal to me, and I can't find any measurements online from the same supplier. Let me know when you get yours, and I'll put it in the description.
