A fairly new tyre that come in quite cheap.... apparently made by Bridgestone for Federal???
Have heard nothing but great reviews on them... just not heard anything of here...
I think they work out around £55 per corner at 215/40/17 (not exactly sure that is correct but close)
I think topgear sell them.
So any opinions?

Where did you see reviews on these tyres......
I could be interested as I am in need of new tyres, and I am on a tight budget. So if they are good they may be the tyre for me.

hmmmm
i was supposed to get these with a wheel & tyre package i got from top gear
instead of the federals which were advertised, i got the wheels delivered with NANKANGS fitted, which after doing a search on here and reading the results i'm not very happy about it
the federal tyres on the site look like SO2 pole position and have good reviews, thats why i decided to get the package.
Phone call to top gear i think

Both Nankang and Federal are big tire brands in Taiwan. Federal SS595 are popular budget tyre comparing to SO-2(head to head performance except for half the price in TW & last longer). The only downside I heard form some GT owners is they wish the side wall were stiffer.
Nankang... doesn't know they have tire as good as the SS595.
