Love the Federal for its per pound performance, able performer in wet and dry around 180km highway driving are very stable and smooth. I rate it better than the Hankook S1 Evo though it's noisier than the Evo due to its side wall construction. The only problem I had that stop me from using the tyre again is the tyre build quality or ex-factory issue. I've sent my left rear for claims and exchange due to bulging issue in the inside side wall. Just few days ago I've sent both front tyres for claims (I wont be exchanging it though) due to tyre curving (imagine the letter 'U'if you look at the tyre from back or front) from outside to inside sidewall. Other than that, a very good tyre

Ive used 595Evo tyre for the passed 1year on my mitsubishi lancer GLX1.6 On the 1st day of the usage its really impressed me of the dry grip cornering plus the road handling are much more easier and not so noisy compared to my previous Goodyear Eagle F1.During wet weather the groves really dispense the water away and I still can maitained speed@ 110km. During my track day last year April 2009 I was amazed by the grip when I drove at high speed into sharp bend the tyre never failed to passed thru every bend without any skid. I strongly recommended to drivers who like to go high speed driving or fast corner TRY IT! You will know the difference.By the way my presence 595EVO tyre due for a change next month. Nizz(Singapore)
