Federal 595S

[bpv35]

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

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.

On federal ss's myself and not too much road noise.....

im running them too... good in the dry, not soo good in the wet but id still buy another set when these ones run out

Thanks guys for the review. Does $140/corner seems fair?

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.

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!

[bpv35]

Sorry for the noob question, but is there much difference between the 595S and SS?

[On Edge]

What's the treadwear rating like fellas?

[dark.sky]

Thats the number (well one of them) written on the tyre isnt it? I'll look tomorrow.

[Jap_star]

Iirc the tw rating is 240.

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.

[Damo_R34]

wow $320 more expensive for slightly better wet handling and a bit quieter?

where is a good place to get rsr's from?

[Krishy]

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.

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.
