Post by: totallypatrick on February 23, 2009, 06:40:17 AM: I'm using Federal 595. Not sure whether is it 595Evo. It sure is noisy as hell and wouldn't really recommend it. Grip is good though..
Title: Re: Federal Tyres
Post by: Carmodz on February 25, 2009, 12:15:56 AM: How many 595s are there actually? I heard of 595, 595Evo, 595RS, man, its confusing!

Yes, This place is cheaper, was quoted $120 for 17" EVO. But is too far for me & inconvience, so end up at paya lebar which near my place
