Federal SS595 Drift Competition Tire:

You know the brand; if you don't, you're missing out. Federal Tires are super sticky for the price! If you were at SEMA last month or some drift events recently, you'll notice that Federal Motorsports is an active supporter of the US and Japanese drift scene. Used by choice, not by sponsorship, by Japan's top drifters.

These tires last and last, and they don't chunk from drifting! We've had many customers report putting on a set, going to a drifting event, and driving home on the same set of Federals! Of course, we still recommend having extra tires just in case you go a little crazy with the donuts .

Even though these tires are for "drift competition," they are also very good for grip. We are currently running Federal tires ourselves for autocross competition regionally, and are proud to report that they are definitely one of the stickier and better tires we've run.

the treads looks good, just wonder how well the handles are for street/daily driving.

I've read that there good drift tires, but in my case I wont be using them for that matter.

I will probably be running these on my Spyder the next time I need to switch tires.

Hopefully that wont be anytime soon, I want these tires I have on there to last me atleast 5,000 miles.

[RossK35]

I had those on my old truck, and they were great for me. I'd recommend them.:top:

I had those on my Boss 20's and they were pretty good but i just got some new yokohoma's Parada Spec X and i like them better but the federal were pretty good gripped pretty good

For the price they can't be beat. Good dry pavement traction, not so sure how they handle in the rain.

thanks for the input guys,

yea I just wanted to know if anyone has or had try them on there X. Looks like i might try to get them, but one thing now
