Federal SS595 or 595 Evo???

[vr2turbo]

KL usually RM30-RM50 more per piece...

Depends, some place can get as close, but must scout around.....

Have put in SS595 today (235/45/17) and so far so good but have to sacrifice some hp compare to a 225 tire size.

Will keep this post update regularly on the SS595 performance.

wats ur ride bro? FF or FR?

 

[jameswwt]

My ride is a 4G63T 4WD and yes i purposely go for a larger size tire, i am hoping for a better handling as well instead of solely focusing on power....

But even though wider at 235, it becomes higher.....

Higher??? Hahahahaha...Its ok

 

[vr2turbo]

Higher??? Hahahahaha...Its ok

Yup, between 235 and 225 using 45 series aspect ratio, the sidewall is higher by 4.5mm

 

[jameswwt]

Ok...Thanks for the info....

 

[vr2turbo]

You are welcome.
Overall diameter is larger by 1.4%, speedo reading slower by that amount, provided your 225/45/R17 is original size......

Is the feedback compared to SS595?

 

[sir-fear-row]

i'm not comparing to the ss595, just to tell how i feel using the 595evo... a good tire actually, i have driven it on a very wet road, in cornering condition (LKSA highway, southbound) at speed of 120km/j. not a little sway on the car... heheh

I ask because the way you post the feedback,
better dry handling
a lil bit noisy
shorter life span
seems to have a reference to your earlier tyre used.....

 

[sir-fear-row]

ooo... b4 that i used michelin n falken, their are better then the 595evo (at some point), cause their got a longer life span n much quieter but much more pricey than the 595evo...

i'm using the 595evo for just 8 month.still 40% of thread left.
