Tires Continental or FEDERAL

FEDERAL Tires

So I have the 595 evos on my Genesis Coupe. Tire wear is pretty good I've had them for 3 seasons now and I'll likely get a 4th out of them. They have a veeerrry stiff sidewall and are quite difficult to mount/dismount. They're very responsive and turn in is very good. They grip and grip and grip in the dry, but in the wet they're not very confidence inspiring. They also run slightly bigger than the size listed.

Pros: good tire wear, very responsive
Cons: stiff sidewall, difficult mount
Vehicle: Hyundai Genesis Coupe

I run 595 evo's in the rear on my M3, they were cheap as fuck ($75/tire from amazon) and seem to have the longest tread life of any tire I've ran. Typically I get 5k-7k miles on my rear tires and I've had these for 7k now and there's a lot of life left. They wear super evenly too, grip in the dry is perfect, wet is fine unless you get on it, then of course you spin a little.

Pros: longest tread life, even wear
Cons: spin a little when wet
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 11265 km

I live in Vancouver as well, and went up to Whistler/Squamish/Cypress in the snow last winter with my R equipped with my "winter" setup of Conti DWS 06 and it was more than fine. She handled it like a champ.

Pros: handled it like a champ

I use them on my 240sx, if you are just autocrossing for fun and to gain experience they are great, but not competitive compared to other tires legal in street/stock classes.

Pros: great for fun, gain experience
Cons: not competitive
Vehicle: Nissan

So I have 2800km on mine, mixed city and highway. I have just under 9/32 on the front and just over 9/32 in the rear. These again are the continental 5P new they have 10/32.

Pros: good tread depth
Mileage: 2800 km

Mine came with ContiProContact rubber. I ran them at 34-35 psi instead of 37, on a stock suspension. A quiet, and compliant tire. Good for general street use and on the highway. They also worked well in the snow, to my surprise.

Pros: quiet and compliant
Vehicle: Audi S3

Yep, have these on my BiTurbos. Good size for a 14x6. I'll use them again when I find a set of 7 or 7.5\" wheels. Downside is they are just regular all-seasons. Not terribly fun but I'm not driving crazy at this height anyways. It'd be nice if there were some 14\" Summer options in a 195/50 at least.

Pros: good size
Cons: regular all-seasons, not fun
