Default federal tires?
Anyone ever use these tires for a DD and not drifting? How long do they last? I see a lot of good reviews on the tires and the actual life of them (around 15-20k) anyone have first hand experience on here?

thanks

595's are pretty popular. i run them because they are the cheapest 19" tire you can buy, and they are easy to stretch.

now performance wise? nah...

I'm running them on my car right now. 245/35 front and 275/30 rear. They run wider than falken or Nankang. I've had mine for about 7k miles up front and 8k miles in the rear and they still look new. I've got the 595SS. I like them alot especially for the price. I got mine local though.

Federals usually have fatter sidewalls compared to other brands, even if it's the same profile. But they are cheap and yes easy to stretch.
