    Decided to try Federal SS595 after these tires as they seem to be highly recommended by people from the community for good grip at a budget price. Worked well as recommended with the exception of the sidewalls cracking prematurely. Tires were maintained meticulously in maintaining tire pressure ( 33 psi ) weekly, never ran over potholes, and even made sure that the manufacturing date was within a year on the day of purchase. Even still, sidewall cracks started appearing after 2 years of use.

    I used the 595EVO before on our old Accord and I never had a problem with them. Medyo noisy but it is expected for a sport tire.

    We used the SS595 on the Civic RS and two were replaced under warranty. Bumukol yung side wall eh. Buti pa yung Falken na gamit sa Jetta, no problem at all.

    From what I gathered from a reputable tire store, there was a certain batch of 595SS that had issues with the durability of the sidewall. Looks like what he said was true.

    He mentioned though that this was corrected by Federal already [emoji108]
