i have the slightly older tread pattern 595 RS in 234/45/17's there a bit noise (road noise) but the new tread pattern has probably fixed that. otherwise they seem fine. no major complaints

Fedrals on the back of my 91 V8. 225 16's. Grip up very well in the dry and progressive loss of traction in the wet. I dont get any shudder from the LSD in the wet like I was with some other cheap no name brand that came with the rims.

Only think I noticed was that the tread depth seemed a little shallow. But @ $135 a tyre I'm not complaining.
