Owner reviews for tires

I just bought some myself for my rear im a first time user of Federal so my opinion should be valid ig you can say but I’ve had them for about a week now 265/35/r18 federal 595 rs-rr to be exact. Besides the fact that they look cool my mpg surprisingly went up, they’re superrr sticky and handle curves/corners just be careful the first couple of miles considering that they’re new tires you’ll probably lose traction from the fresh rubber but no big deal. The only downside (for some people) is that they are noisy personally it doesn’t bother me bc I have no mufflers and I listen to loud music but if you’re someone that is picky or sensitive to noise I’d suggest another tire other than that I’d rate the tires 9/10

I think such soft compound can go over the recommended 5-6 year. I have run similar tires (Michelin PSS) tires for 10 years without trouble.

These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

Enjoy those! I have a set on my Matrix, for street tires they are silly grippy, at least on that car, much better than a tall econobox has any real right to. I've tried some others, but keep coming back.

i run these tires on my Fusion, they are low profile, have good traction. As they are low profile, performance tires, they transmit road feel more than normal tires.

I run Yoko Advan APex AD08Rs on the track and love them. Very sticky, very consistent, great track tires for wear and consistent performance. They last me about 14-18 track days (about a year of tracking for me).

On the street, they seem to work well, maybe a bit less grip than the OE tires when accelerating, but I don’t push it too hard on public roads so it’s tough to judge performance. They aren’t any noisier than the Continentals; if anything they might be a bit quieter.

Michelin Defender LTX get a big vote from me if the vehicle is a pavement pounder. They're fantastic in the rain and snow, and wear great, too.

I've had them on a different car and work with cars so have been around them plenty. Personally am not a fan, but they are a decent all around warmer weather tire

I am not exactly sure what comes on these but the Good Year Wrangler AT with Kevlar that came on my Tacoma Off Road were the worst tires I have ever owned in 30 or so years. At 20k miles they were done. Every one had a patch. Every one had slow leaks and the wear was crazy at 20k 2 years.
