The 595RS is a very good tyre; stiffer sidewall, softer compound, better control. Much better in dry and also quietier than SS595. Cons is lower wet longitudinal grip but better lateral grip. It more than suffices for our flash thunderstorms.

 

595 Evo is a nice compromise between SS595 & 559RS. Good dry grip & wet grip. Good handling with stiffer sidewall

the evo no stock. if 1 2 use Rs must downgrade 1 profile size

[Damn66]

then downgrade lor..wun regret using RS

Hi Genie47,

 

Have done approx. 1k on the SS595 and here are the initial feedback

 

1) Great tyres in the dry, stopping is quite up to par with LM 702s by Dunlops. slightly more squicking noise in MSCPs.

2) not too great during high speed conering (100-120kmh on a gradual right hand curve), the relatively soft side walls does not instill lots of confidence as there is quite a fair bit of bouncing and I don't think its due to my suspensions.

3) wet performance seems ok but have not really pushed them to the limit...best was just touching 100kmh.. but what the report said on the SS595 not liking water seems to be true... they do aquaplane earlier compared to the LMs. Gripwise in the wet still okie...maybe because its still new. Tend to have a fair bit of wheelspin when doing a stationary hard launch in the wet....

4) noisewise still okie and relatively quiet now as they are still new.

 

Just spoke to the marketing manager the other day and according to him, they have gotten some positive feedback from a bunch of guys from Subaru Forum...Maybe we can check it out with them on their tyres performance as I think they do push the tyres quite hard.

 

Lets see how they perform after 5k...

 

btw... here's where you can get them at...

has anyone tried the rs? the 595 sux in wet. aquaplan a hell lot esp on puddles.. dry is good, the faster u go the noiser it gets

[Fisheye]

Personally, with the kind of tyre thread design, I personally think the Evo series would be better for the wet. Basically the RS thread design is almost the same as the SS595 1st gen.

i ask for 225/45/17R RS.....and he price is 190

[Trusty]

tat model is somewhere there..

[Trusty]

the rs is suppose to be the best among their range. no? i believe rs is more ex than evo

[Fisheye]

Best model for dry performance yes, but wet?? Not too sure about it though. from the mag reviews by the jap drifter kings, seems like its really good for dry drifting...anyone wanna try drifting in the wet and then give a review???

[Zepil99]

I call Jackson, he say there is no 16" tyre for Evo series. is it true? he say Evo only has 15" and 17". funny leh, i say at federal website they have 16"

 

any1 here using 16" 595 evo?
