Writing about the Federal SS595 SUPER STEEL given 74% (205-45-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 33000 spirited miles
I found these tyres especially grippy when 'warmed' up a bit. In cold weather they tend to slip more readily. Wet weather grip is fairly reasonable. They provide a good level of feedback and progressively loose grip when pushed hard before finally breaking away. Even when fairly worn they still perform very well. The only downside of these tyres is the road noise which is much higher than you might expect

Initially the Pirellis' were quite grippy and even in the wet they would hold the road. Once they start to wear they do lose their grip, even before the tyres should need replacing the grip at the front end was worryingly low. I replaced the full set 20k miles ago and the front need replacing but the rears look almost like new.

The main reason I would consider something else rather than buying these again would be the massive tramlining you get on motorways.
