Quick question on federal's 595s

danny_mx5 · 10-17-2011, 01:53 PM

Is anyone running these tires on xxrs or any 16x8 wheels Im trying to see how much they stretch im looking at the 595 83v RF I currently have falkens 912s and they stretch fairly decent, I use to have nexan's n3000 and they were too squared and didn't fit since im slammed so i need something that stretches. Thanks

Are you looking at the 195/40/16 595EVO?

danny_mx5 · 10-17-2011, 02:16 PM

Sorry I forgot to mention that im wanting 205/40/16

DazedAndConfused · 10-17-2011, 02:38 PM

That's not much of a stretch. From the stretched pictures I found on my google search, the 595 looks pretty square also

DazedAndConfused · 10-17-2011, 02:41 PM

205/45 on a 9.5 inch wheel

215/40 on a 10'' wheel

That doesn't look like a 595 to me

I have 595's in my rear, and they're pretty square. And there wasn't a crazy stretch to them either.

Phung018 · 10-17-2011, 08:18 PM

federals run 1 size bigger.

danny_mx5 · 10-18-2011, 01:17 AM

This is what I currently have on is 205/40/16 falken if I put a square tire it rubs my quarter panel really bad and burns my paint. Any other tires that stretch similar to this? Im not looking for a massive stretch just as long as its not really square!

harley · 10-18-2011, 01:27 AM

if you're wanting stretch, why not run the 195?

xDJ DUBx · 10-18-2011, 01:28 AM

595s don't stretch at all on a x8 lol, they're more beefy than nexens are in same size and on same width. T1Rs stretch very nicely in the proper size.

danny_mx5 · 10-18-2011, 09:19 AM

Ohh okay so do y'all think 195/45/16 will do the job?

harley · 10-18-2011, 06:20 PM

I think you're pretty limited on 195 in 16s.

If you're wanting a little bit more clearance. Try a falken 512. They have a "thinner" sidewall.

DazedAndConfused · 10-18-2011, 06:24 PM

195/40 if you want the 595......

195/45 of 205/40 everything else...except s-drives, they are chunky also

LOOINEY · 10-24-2011, 08:16 PM

I have the 595's in 195/45/15 on xxr 002's. And all I can add is it was real easy to mount and has little stretch look to them. They must run wider than other tyres.

For me, seeing the tires in person, its easy to see the 595's are a size bigger, even with pictures posted here, you can see the difference. Direzza, and T1R, are the "stretch" friendly tires I've seen that do well.

pachood · 10-25-2011, 09:35 PM

The 595's run super wide.

Although it screws me up for fitment, I like useable tire.
