Tires FEDERAL or Maxxis
do these tires fit on stock 370z wheels ?
I just bought some myself for my rear im a first time user of Federal so my opinion should be valid ig you can say but I’ve had them for about a week now 265/35/r18 federal 595 rs-rr to be exact. Besides the fact that they look cool my mpg surprisingly went up, they’re superrr sticky and handle curves/corners just be careful the first couple of miles considering that they’re new tires you’ll probably lose traction from the fresh rubber but no big deal. The only downside (for some people) is that they are noisy personally it doesn’t bother me bc I have no mufflers and I listen to loud music but if you’re someone that is picky or sensitive to noise I’d suggest another tire other than that I’d rate the tires 9/10
I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.
The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.
Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.
They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.
If you liked the XR4 the Rekon is probably the closest, or Ardent. It's worked well for me everywhere I've taken it from Duluth to Moab, and everything in between.
Those tires are the lowest budget-high grip tires you can buy. Can't have everything for free, noise is to be expected with that kind of tire peformance
595s are super squishy. I'd say, out of all performance tires, they have the least stiff sidewall. It's definitely you reducing how much sidewall you have by going up to bigger wheels.
Had horrible experiences with these tires on my Focus ST, chunked really quickly and weren't as fast as the RS-RR's
