[shooter]

Anyone running the Federal 595 EVO 165/65R-15 on front. Likes or dislikes?

I ran two sets of them and got 30,000 miles out of them. They were okay on handling I'm now running the Federal Formoza and I love them. The handling is great. They are showing no signs of wear with 15,000 miles and I would recommend them. They are available in the stock size. Bought one set on newegg.com and another for a customer on e-bay.

I am also running the EVO on our RT. I only have 10k on them and they have not shown any wear. They are a much harder compound, but as far as I can tell they haven't taken away from the ryde or the twisties at all.

When I first replaced the Kendras with them it was like ryding on glass it was so much smoother. They still are that way. Very good tire.

Ann,
tried finding the Formosa model, and ran out of patience... pps:
Do you have a link to a site where I can learn a bit about them?
Or beter yet: a place to buy them?

tires

I use Kumho 155/60R15 on the front of my 2014 RTs. I put them on 1 year ago and now have well over 28,000 miles on them. They still look like new, have NO handling issues, and run very smooth. Just my 2 cents.

E-BAY .... free shipping , and nobody asks any questions, very good prices ......... make sure you type in the size or you will be looking thru 10,000 tires ...... Mike :thumbup:

Bob, it is spelled with a Z not an S. That may be why you didn't find them. There is a pair for sale on EBay for $117. When I was looking for tires last fall the Evo was out of stock for 8 weeks and a spyder lover told me about the Formoza. I ordered them from newegg.com but a few months later a customer wanted them and they were listed on newegg as being out of stock from the manufacturer so I found them on eBay. Seems like now the Evo is readily available and the Formoza is scarce.

Try them in the 175 size as they will fit, and as much as you like them now you will be amazed at how much better the 175's are.

Are these the ones? Want to make sure they are the right size:

Thanks for the link! :thumbup:
I'll need to get some front tires this coming Season, and need to start shopping!

Don't wait too long. There were 6 left at that price, I ordered 2 of them.

At this point I'm kind of "On The Fence". It'll either be these, or the Kumho Solus...

I was on the fence too until I heard Ann's glowing review.

That's why I'm leaning that way also... :thumbup:
