i have them on my evo right now 255/40/17.dont be fooled with the treadwear rating since each companies does most of their own rating.they seem ok at first but gets slippery when it starts warming up.but theyre pretty good in the rain and the thread pattern of it almost looks like the toyo t1r's.

Evo_Dadi what are you saying? 595RS Good or Bad? Would you buy them again?

Do they hold the road like how we would want, can I push the car HARD? Or will the car slid when cornering? Do you get the tire squeal when cornering?

Do they hold in the rain?

Thanks

they have an ad in grass roots motorsports magazine with a picture of a lime green EVO in it, funny thing is that the EVO has a big 'Integra Type-R' sticker photoshopped on it.

wonder how much they know about cars...

If you want some GREAT tires for every day high performance driving that offer excellent grip dry & wet, try the Goodyear Eagle F-1 DG3. I bought a set and have about 1K on them, I LOVE the way they grip, I can corner as well, if not better than the A046's (wore them out in 9800 mi.). Wet grip is excellent too, I change my ACD to gravel and can push it hard on wet roads with very little slippage. I went for a total package. I'm running 255/35/18's on 5Zigen 18x8.5 w/a 35 offset. My car is about 2" wider than stock, they fill the flared fenders perfectly.

oh my bad theyre ok for its price and i might buy them again when i go thru it,but then again i like trying out other brands when its warmed up it has a good grip and would give out a little squeal but they get slippery when it gets more hotter.one thing also is theyre kinda noisy daily driven but then again a catless turboback is much louder as for rain i like even when i run into standing water in the freeway and it doesnt squirm much.

I assume you mean this tire? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Eagle+F1+GS-D3

Eagle F1 GS D3? Reviews look good and not terribly pricey. Eagle F1 Supercars seems to be a notch better but don't have too many low profile tires for Japanese cars...
