Falken Fk-452 Vs Federal 595

I'm curious why you choose to run your tyres at 40 psi most of the time?

Purely for the tyre wear given I do a lot of kms. Plus most of my kms is puttering along in traffic or cruising on the highway. Would occasionally drop the pressure for some spirited driving. It was fun sliding around corners with the end stepping out a bit lol.

The Michelins though at 38 are insanely awesome, corners with just a minimal amount of slide and only just spins in first. With traction control on its very subtle, car pulls a lot harder too. At this pressure they're better than the 452s at 32-33 cold. Also had an awesome day at the track with them at their optimal hot temperature.

I've had the FK-452's and I want impressed at all, noisy and very expensive for how poor their grip was.

I now have federal 595 evo's, they are only 240 tread wear so very soft and while they are also noisy they grip like poo to a blanket in the dry and at the drags they get sort grippy and soft after a small burn out. They are pretty ordinary in the wet though.

The wet grip is not such an issue for me though as there is no way I can use any throttle on wet roads no matter what tyre I'm running.

I buy these federals from a friend who imports them for really cheap prices so that's my tyre choice sorted easy as.
