Hope you like the Federal tyres. Keep us updated on your ownership experience of these tyres.

 

I have covered 9,500 km on my Formoza FD2. The tyres do not show any discernible increase in road noise, compared to the Bridgestone GR80 which I was previously on. I am eagerly keeping a close watch on the durability factor of these Taiwanese tyres with respect to the Japanese Bridgestones.

had a chance to test it on the wet surface on Sat as it was raining quite heavily. glad to say that it handles quite well. The steering didn't pull to a side when you hit a puddle, although didn't get a chance to test it at high speed. Only managed some 70-80kmh during the Sat. morning downpour.

 

So far, the quietness of this 595EVO surprises me. I expect it to be rather 'vocal', looking at the thread pattern but its unbelievably quiet. I can say that its better than CSC and Maxxis. Probably on par with the yokohamas db range but this is supposed to be a performance tire.

 

The only thing is the low wear rating. The UTQG is 240/AA/A. But I guess it would be sufficient for the average 35k-40k range of driving since I don't track. Weight rating is 600kg which is enough for the Octy.

Federals are expected to get noiser when youre coming towards the 35K mark of its road use life. so quite ok lar... Btw, I got my BBS covers over Ebay from a german guy at ard US$40 for a set of 4. GOod thing is he can get the exact model that fity your rims.

Don't know leh ... I'm only trying out this Fed 595EVO niah....

 

So far only know very quite. Still too early to know about the grip. But this tire's UTQG rating is 240/AA/A.

 

So don't know whether can last 50k or not. Think 40k shouldn't be a problem for any tires unless you track. Since I don't, I should think this tire would last me 40-50k also.
