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.

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 :P

Hey Steve,

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

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". :(

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

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! :D

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
