Federal Super Steel SS595 tyres

summer tyres / for cars

These were on my 17inch 205/50/17 wheels at the front when i first bought the boxster. And they sounded like a propeler they were so noisy and absolute rubbish. I soon switched to Goodyear eagle NCT 5 and it felt like I had a new car the Goodyears were so quiet compared to these. In fairness these are a budget tyre and value for money if you just want to drive in and around town and motorways as cheap as possible. But if you want a quite performance tyre then these are not it. translated

I went from a 205/40 16 inch Yokohama Parada Spec C to these tyres. The Yokohama's have great dry grip, poor wet, terrible snow and are noisy. These have a lot lower dry grip, about same wet grip and better snow grip due to tread pattern. They are slightly more narrow of course and higher sidewall. They start to slide early but are very progressive, though they do make the howling noise when sliding more than the Yokohama's which causes unwanted attention. They don't have any wow factor but are fine, nothing outstanding but nothing terrible either. My car is light so no wear issues even with lots of slippage when driving in spirited manner. translated

Okay, Just had these fitted to my Mazda RX8 230 which previously had Bridgestones. Can't comment on the wear just yet but road noise is sooo much better than the Bridgestones and they seem to grip just as well in the wet and dry! They also look great! Very impressed and would buy again. translated

Disgusting tires should be banned from sale. They ride rock hard. They have NO grip in the wet even with a 1600 automatic they slip and spin at the touch of the throttle. I now drive a turbo skyline and id be scared to even rev that car with them. Luckily ive got UHP tires on the skyline and have upgraded to Eagle F1 GSD3 for the integra. Yuck! translated
