ive never heard of either one, LOL...

anyways, my buddy picked up a full set of Federal 595 for about $230. I dont think thats a bad deal on tires, considering 1) theyre competition tires 2) they're for 18" wheels (obviously cheaper if smaller)

federal 595s are good cheap tires, but i don't drive my car enough (not dd) to know how long the tires will last (under normal driving conditions).....they do work extremely well for drifting b/c they don't chunk or fall apart as easy as other cheapos, leading to better control.....just my 2 cents

To those I would say none and look at Avon Tech M500.

Tires are not a place to scrimp as they are the only part of your car in contact with the road.

Meh, if it were raced I would go with something special... if it's just a DD then get something cheaper.
