Federal 595 Tires... any experience?
Hi all
I am thinking about a new set of 19" wheels and was wondering which tire set to get with them. Most vendors are shipping with Nexxen N3000 or Kumho V12.
So I wondered what else is available out that which are Aggressive looking, good grip dry/wet, reliable, good steering feel (sharp turn in) and I stumbled on to the Federal 595 shown below:

Anybody have any experience with them on the IS or any other Lexus for that matter?

One time I had Michelin PS2 and everything was good. Then I put on General Exclaims and rear started rubbing under load.
Why do the cheaper tires go wider?

I recently had Federal 595SS put on my GS3 (235/45/17 94W). I got about 2500 miles on them so far and am quite happy with them. It's an inexpensive tire with a nice design. They run wide. They're atleast 0.5" wider than my previous tire which had the same dimension. I like this as it prevents accidental curb rash.
Performance in the dry is good. I have done some very spirited driving and they held up just fine. The sidewall is a bit soft for my liking, but it adds to the comfort. It's also a very quiet tire, I hope they won't get noisy down the road.
Performance in the wet isn't spectacular, you have to be careful when you put your foot down.
All in all, I think it's a decent tire, especially for the price. There are much better tires out there if you're willing to fork out the cash.
Next time I will be getting the 595 RSR. Now these rock!! I got them on another car and I absolutely loved them.
