Here is an honest review of them from Abo-bob, the SAU:NSW President:

On a personal note, I used these on the front of my car at the last SAU track day. I had RE55's on the rear which are some of the best semi slicks there are. IMO, the Federals were half way between street tyres and the RE55's. They gripped well but were outgripped by the RE55's. The thing that made them so good though, was that after a full day out on the track, they barely look used at all. I am intending to put these on all 4 and use them on the street as well because I'm lazy and don't want to change wheels all the time.

The other thing I noticed was that the Federals warmed up in the first lap but the RE55's took about a lap and a half. Neither went greasy despite many laps. Street tyres will do this though. So you can do heaps of laps in them and quick warm up means they may be good for hillclimbs perhaps and other disciplines where there isn't much time to warm the tyres.

I guess my point here is that they are not the most grippy semi slicks around, but they are better than streeters and as a value for money proposition, they are outstanding.

Anyone know what these are like as a daily driver on the road and also if they are suitable for the drags?

[DRD-00F]

Suitable for the drags yes (not as much as actual drag tyres like Mickey T's though)

Daily driver? Not so much. They will be very slippery in the wet and will wear down a little bit quicker then your standard tyre. EDIT: Apparently not as bad as I thought, read down.

I know people, one R34 GTR Nur spec in particular, that runs semis all the time and is daily driven. His choice of tyre is Federal as well

[gregor]

I'll take a set but I can't PM you yet because I don't have enough posts. Can you PM me your email address?

[gregor]

well i cant edit that message so nevermind, I have enough posts so I've PM'd you about the two im after.

[Tomek]

Any possibility of 255's?

Hey Steve,

I just thought that I would try to help out by adding in my two cents

I have been using 595RS' for a few years now on my R32 (daily drive) and have found them to be pretty good in the wet (considering that they are a semi-slick)... As long as you remember that they are more meant for dry road use and dont mash the loud pedal to much, you shouldnt have any surprises in the wet... Motor magazine rated these the "Best wet braking" semi slick in their last tyre test.

Also, my last set of these lasted a touch over 27,000kms so you can get pretty good life out of them if you keep up regular tyre maintenance.

If you are after a great all round performance tyre these are the pick of the bunch for "bang for your buck".

Just so everyone knows, the tyres listed are the only ones being offered at this price to anyone on SAU.

Ordered 4, just arrived this morning. very quick delivery.

[jaze55]

I would like a set but is pickup possible? I am not home during the day for deliveries which makes it hard for me.

[CEF11E]

I have these on my r32 daily driver and they are good. the wear is fine, not as good as a street tyre but i have done a few 1000 k's and they are still line new. and they are fine in the wet.

[DRD-00F]

No sorry, no chance for pickup. You could always send them to a mate who CAN receive them, perhaps someone's office or something?

These are selling like hotcakes guys, you won't EVER beat this price again, I suggest you get in NOW!

[ashneel]

[DRD-00F]
