Hi All
Can anyone suggest any decent tyres in 185 60 14 made by either of these 2 companies? I can get them wholesale at the moment.

The SS595 are a good street tyre from Federal
Federal Semi Comp are 595RS tyres.
Silverstone S-585 and FTZtype RR are their semi comp tyres.

Thanks mate :D
The SS595 aren't made in my size :cry: And the others aren't available. The best I could do was SS657 :D

Silverstones are a terrible tyre. Don't know much about Federals though. Both Chinese brands.

Chinese cheap tyres. Marketed to the bottom-end of the market.
