Tyres

[luke_r32]

hey everybody,

I am looking at some new tyres for my r32, i was told that federal 595's where a good buy.

does anyone have them??? i know they are a "budget tyre" but the sales dude at the tyre shop seems to think they are really good.

cheers!

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

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

cheers everyone

Hey mate, I'm running federal 595ss they are great for the price.

I buy mine through Option 1 Garage.

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.

[Jonno34]

thanks for the replies everyone

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

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

[Jonno34]

just checked out option1, they apparently only have

235/40/18 or 265/35/18

i wouldnt mind 235/40 i guess.. any opinions?

[Bomba]

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!

[Jonno34]

yeahh i was looking at the KU31's, they were what was gonna be supplied with the rims im ordering, but heard sooo many good things about the 595's .. and well .. the tread pattern is awesome LOL

cheers bomba, ill give them a call/email tomoro during business hours

[Jonno34]

btw im running 205/55 yokohamas on my 16 inch rims atm

the difference should be massive hahaha

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

235/40/18 is always a better option than 245/40/18 as its a fair bit cheaper for an unnoticeable difference

[Jonno34]

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

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

or you could buy these for $460

[Jonno34]

joey you just saved me alot of money

because of your link i checked out the 235/40 locally in perth, veeery much cheaper

175 per tyre vs 235 per tyre

definitely gonna go for those works out 15 bucks more expensive than if i got em off ebay/got em fitted and balanced

thanks for all the help mate

[noely1]

Im running 595's on my n/a R34...

265/35/18 on rears and 235/40/18 on fronts and they are great! the traction and grip you get is amazing all around a great tyre for the price!
