Make more sense to me as the tyres i saw at Honda had ZR written on them, and the sidewalls were as hard as they get.

i think federal tyres suck...!!!
the yokohamas avs-es100 or the bridgestone re-711 or hankook ventus k 102 are much better...
ask any performance car driver in blore and he will swear by these 3 brands and dont even touch federal

[iceman91]

hey the suprtyres are not z rated...they cant be....have seen them on a car and went and felt them...they are no where close to v rating leave alone...z
z rating tyre according to blore congditons wont even last 1000k right only thousand kms..... i beg to differ abt its ratring

to add my "2" pence worth:
1. had put the federals FD1 pattern, with 13 inch esteem rims, on my 2001 mpfi zen, in december 2003 and the car has done over 15,000km since then. I was/am quite happy with the performance
2. I put the 195/60 FD1 pattern federals on my Fiat Petra 1.6 (a review of which is pending from my side) in august 2004. I have done about 7,000km on those tyres. VERY happy. i had done a wet drive from Ankola to Hubli on those tyres in september. The second half of that stretch (about 70km) we did in under 45 mins on those tyres. Didnt squeel or skid even once!!!

I too have Federal ss595 for my OHC vtec. The size is 195/45 R15
My car have stiffened suspension, used federals very well with that setup for more than a year without any problem, am very happy with its performance.

Now I want my next set, i badly need the same tyres in same size.
Can someone help me in sourcing them??
