Hey everyone, didnt wanna start a new thread

Where do I buy federal 595's from?

I live in perth, so locally would be nice, but if it was a fair bit cheaper online that would be okay too ...

Putting them on ROTA G - Force + 35 offset in gunmetal grey :blink:

looking at 245/40 for the tyres, all 4, would rather be able to rotate tyres etc

cheers everyone

Highly recommend the 595's!

I got them about a month ago and they are an awesome street tyre.

Go with option1, even with postage you wont find cheaper, and extremely good service to boot!

What width are your rims?

I'm running 18x9 +35's and went with 255/35's. They are the perfect width for 9 inch rims and look sweet!

You'll find 245/40's have a much larger diameter than stock (595's however don't come in 245/35's) where as 255/35's are as near as dammit exact.

thanks for the replies everyone :blink:

the wheels will be 18 x 9, 5x114.3 +35 so basically the same as yours Bomba :P

our rims also look kind of similar hahaha

ill make sure to check out the 255/35, i didnt really want anything too thin though, 255 isnt too wide? i was recommended 245/40s by the guys at tyrepower etc to be a somewhat practical size

You'll find 255/35's aren't too "thin", as far as ride harshness I can hardly notice the difference between them and the stocko's. If you look at the comparison pic the side wall is still quite tall.

As for option1 not having them, they don't show all the sizes on the site. If you email option1 during business hours (or contact them through their thread on here) you'll find they'll either have them or will be getting them in shortly. They order frequently and if they are out it wont be long until they have some again.

Again I highly recommend the 595's in 255/35's, they fit spot on.

FYI tyres fit differently depending on brand, for example Kumho KU31's in 255's look the same as 595's in 265's (too baggy for 9inches).

Have you considered the Kumho's??? I was going to get them in 245/35's until I saw the 595 255's on my rims, mmmmmm sexy!

hey does anybody know where to get tyres fitted/balanced in perth?

a guy at maximum motorsport said that it'd cost 10-15 bucks (not too sure if he meant per tyre though ..)

and tyrepower up in osb park quoted me 160

whats the usual prices paid to get the rims fitted with tyres and balanced etc?

so far for a set of 595s locally itll cost me 235 per tyre .. 940 total cost fitted/balanced

but if i order from option 1 its 160 per tyre, and 115 bucks delivery, so a total cost of 755 for the tyres ...

if its gonna cost more than 100 bucks to fit and balance i really might as well just get em locally?

Thanks everyone :)

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
