dark.sky Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Has anyone have any personal experience with these? I was looking to purchase a set of these for my daily V35 coupe. Are they quiet to run? thanks Bee I run Federal 595SS on my R32, alot of tyre for the price IMO. As for noise, I can't say ive really noticed them being noisy, but having said that I dont listen for it.

bpv35 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks guys for the review. Does $140/corner seems fair? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371786-federal-595s/#findComment-5928147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpv35 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I paid $140/corner fitted and balanced for 235/45/17. Where did you get them from? I'm after 235/40/18 which does not include fitting and balancing.

Matty Sherlock Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Funny hey dion we were discussing this recently at kadina. I've done 10,000kays on mine and they hardly show any wear. These tyres are great in the wet! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371786-federal-595s/#findComment-5928202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpv35 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Sorry for the noob question, but is there much difference between the 595S and SS? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371786-federal-595s/#findComment-5928244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpv35 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for all your replies. After many hours reading reviews about these federal 595SS, I have decided to purchase Kumho KU-37. This because the federal may get abit noisy and apparently it performs poorly in wet condition. I am picking up the KU-37 for $225/corner (235/40/18) + $45 wheel alignment.

Iron Chef Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I had KU36s on my Evo and have 595SSs on my Cube and (allowing for the obvious differences in the car itself) found the Federals MUCH better for road noise. I reckon they're a great tyre for the money. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371786-federal-595s/#findComment-5931487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark.sky Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 TBH It's one of the better tyres Ive driven in the wet... About the only tyre Ive had which was better in the wet has been the Bridgestone Potenza RE001 Adrenaline - compare the price of those to 595SS's haha.
