Anyone used Federal SS-595's?

[.Ben.]

I need some new rear tyres and a friend of mine suggested trying these as opposed to the Hankook v12's that I'm considering.

Wanted to know what you guys thought of the SS-595's - my concern is that they are budget nonsense (£76 for 2 on eBay).

Cheers.

LOL - first time I don't use search and I get zapped. Awesome, cheers Warren

Seem to get pretty decent reviews...

...On here.

BUT over on 'tyrereviews' they seem to attract comments such as "long lasting", but "crap in the wet" to "very, very noisy - like my wheel bearings were shot" and "Horrible, would never buy again" - Source.

The internetz has spoken. Might give these a wide berth then...

I had these on the front of my sri 140 vectra and they werent bad in fairness prefered these to toyo's ok yes they are a budget tyre and they arent going to grip like the michelins, conti's but for the price they werent bad. As with all things though its person preference at the end of the day.
