Federal 595 185/60r13

[mikemounlio]

I have ordered a set of. Federal 595 in 185 / 60r13. Their webiste shows this tire as a 460 treadwear and the other sizes as a 260. Does anyone know why?

I have already placed an order. It has not shipped yet so i can still swap the sizes if these wont be sticky

[fudge]

soon gonna need some tires, you gotta let me know how sticky they are when the arrive!

I hope they are good! IDK tho. the rating on them is sky high for this size. I dont get why

The evo 595 are the soft ones from what I understand. I can't find the evo in 185\55/14's or the 185/60/13

But while where talking tire what size race tires would you guys run if it could be made to fit under a festiva. Body modification is ok with me and I'm getting ready to start the paint process on one of mine.

The evo is more of a daily tire. It has the main center section like normal tires. The ss 595 aslo now just the 595 is the one with the v shape in the center for more grip kinda.

So the basic 595 should be a great tire. I just dont know why the 13" is a 460 and the others are 260

260 treadwear is gonna be your sticky, more track capable tire. I like tires with under 100 tread wear for the best grip.

[mikemounlio]

I get that but im wondering why the 13 is 460 and the others are 260.

[Advancedynamix]

Hard to tell. Where did that info come from?

[mikemounlio]

I called a comapny and asked them a few questions. From they the 13" has a higher tread wear rating due to the smaller size and lighter load that to be put on the tire. The compound is still the same! So the 13" should be a sticky little tire.

Please let us know how they work out, especially in the wet!
Enquiring minds.......

[mikemounlio]

Im thinking the wet is gonna suck. I hope they work great!

Me too!
Need new tyres for Ethel, the B3 is a little too light for 185's in the rain, but it dosn't rain much here except in monsoon season, and 185 beats 165 for grip any day.

Shipping says that it will be in on the 22nd! But im hoping they make it sooner. Ill have them on asap once here tho.

I disagree with this. 165 gets better grip, wet or dry, until the 185 builds heat. I'd strongly suggest a 165/55-14 for Ethel, on some of those hollow spoke Daisey's you're using to hold up a parts table some place. Lol.

So my ebay order got canceled for some reason. I found the tires on simpletire.com. i have to pay a bit more (12$) but i got my order in! they said they have 16 in stock when i called so they have 12 left now guys. Go get emm while you can.
