Federal 595RS

They are available in 255/35/18 and 225/40/18. Treadwear isn't listed, though; but it mentions that they are Z-rated. I did some quick searching on google, but didn't find much of anything on these specific tires. Also there is a 'standard' 595 in popular s2000 sizes, but again, I couldn't find much info on that tire either. It did have 240-260 treadwear ratings, and is Z-rated as well. About all I found on it, is that it is less than $150 for the rears.

I've looked at all those brands, they all seem more like daily driver type tires. These were listed in the motorsports section, and look like they could be a promising track tire that is street legal. I don't know how much these cost, the prices I did find are for the 595ss tire, not the rs.
Where did you find that Federal is not very popular? I haven't found much info on them...

Not very popular as a high perf.tire.from what i've found, the standard 595ss seems to be a very popular drift tire in australia. i also ran across some scuttle on the sti boards about them getting a group-buy for the auto-x guys.
i sent an email directly to federal asking for the possibility of a group buy. any interest?

Had federals on my accord once.. not really the greatest tire in terms of wear but to be honest they were decent. Just remember these were on a Accord so I didnt get to test out the performance aspects of it but for what I needed them for they did the job well.

i sell alot of these at my shop and as a matter of fact i have these on my AP1 
. They are pretty new in the U.S. kind of like when NANKANG or KUMHO first came along. They have a decent traction, from a scale of 1-10 i would say 5.
They are more like a daily driver type tire and they usually last about 5 months with me. It all depends on what you plan on doing with them, i wouldnt recomend for Auto X or anything of that nature
