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 just put a set of Kumho Solus TA11 on mine. Smooth, quiet, balanced well. No complaints here.
V730 is only other tire that’s cheap and works well. My personal experience on them is on a Miata, I was shocked how good they worked.
Go with the Kumho V730. They are the cheapest tire per corner, wear VERY well (about 100 runs before they cord…WITHOUT flipping). They are exactly what you need for a low-camber GS car.
I run them on my Highlander and they have been great. This thing eats tires but they last around 40k miles on the Highlander. Definitely recommend!
I have a set of Kumho Crugens on one of my cars, I like them so far (just installed in October, and we do get winter).
I had some on my E34. Gripped great in the dry, I avoided the gas pedal when turning/changing lanes in the rain. I gave it a bit of gas near the end of the turn to make sure I'd pass a Buick next to me when I almost ended up driving into the Buick because the rear end let go.
Feds are okay budget performance tires IMO. There's a fair bit of trade offs too. Grip isn't as good as PSS or even DWs IMO, though with the latter the difference isn't that great. Despite lower grip levels mpg was worse.
The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.
