The federal 595RS is supposed to rated like a semi slick - ie it will wear quicker, but no haven't used them before. Better to stick to a performance street tyre.

yea its a semi slick nontheless..bt with very affordable price...
as usual wet weather handling for semi slick sux but its brilliant on the dry :thumbsup:

Yes agreed, but I guess it depends on what your after...more mileage and a bit of both wet/dry performance on the street. I've got some 2nd hand semis stashed in the garage for the track, but I wouldn't use them on the street...

Although if your running heaps of power in your car then perhaps.

Up in Sydney it's been raining heaps so glad I stick to performance street tyre.

Up to you! :)

apparantly the compound of the federal is still quite hard compared to other semis like a048's etc.
