vs
Tires FEDERAL or WEST LAKE
do these tires fit on stock 370z wheels ?
Vehicle:
Nissan
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
Pros: super sticky, handle corners
Cons: tires are noisy
I have Westlake SU318's on my Ranger now and they are cheap and fantastic. Great wet grip and very quiet.
Pros: Great wet grip, very quiet
Cons: cheap
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
I've used Westlakes before on my daily driver when I was just barely making ends meet. Had no issue with them, and I had to drive a lot for work.
Pros: no issue with them
I ran a set of west lake 205-50-16 tires on my 2001 celica. I probably put 30k miles on them before I sold it, and they still had about half the tread left. Ride was decently smooth and quiet. Ride quality and tire life were better than any of the other tires I used before (Nexen, Kumho, Yokohama, Toyo).
Pros: smooth and quiet ride
Cons: handling not the best
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica
Mileage: 48280 km
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.
Pros: super squishy, least stiff sidewall
Cons: less comfortable than Primacys
judging from the conversation here, I think I'll go for Westlake ????
Probably one of the loudest tires I’ve had.. Federal 595 RSRR
Cons: loudest tires
I’ve ran them for autox for fun when I had bmw Z4. They aren’t that good. Lol. Decent daily tires though.
Pros: decent daily tires
Cons: aren’t that good
Vehicle:
BMW Z4
Ah, west lakes, balance like shit like Rovelos. They’re a low cost low tier tire that dealers install to keep costs cheap overall.
Cons: low cost, low tier
