Hi mate, do you get road noise with these?

I used to have r888s as a daily driver and the noise was crazy... like a gearbox whine constantly...

I'm currently looking for replacements for my falken 452s and these would be ideal.

don't forget there are 2 types of fedral 595 tyres, there is the ss-595 and the 595 rs-r

the ss is not brillant but the rs-r is. plus the rsr is more like a semi slick compared to the ss.

yea its the 595 RSR that im running.

As for road noise i didnt really think about it, im running a full buddyclub system (racing spec manifold, dual prospec and cat) and the drone pretty much drowns everything else out lol.

They have strong side walls, but the compound is pretty soft - im sure there is some road noise but a small price to pay for how well they perform!
