SS595 is now named as 595. Basically not much changes, therefore 595 Evo should be of newer technology. Street & Touge use are okay, but for track 595 RS-R is better......

using 595SS now. quite satisfied with it even in SIC... of course RSR will provide tremendously higher grip in circuit but IMHO 595SS is good enough as an all-rounder. price is very affordable too...

Using 595 Evo now. Downside is it's noisy. Wet grip is better than standard tyres but no match for wet-type tyres like Eagle F1 and Michelin PS3. But it's good anyway. Dry grip is phenomenal for a tyre in this price range.

but like I said - it's goddamn bloody noisy.

Individual have individual priorities and standard. That is why, when one mentioned good grip may not be the same to another. Therefore, for noisy, comfort, handling all the same......have to individually try them.
When I fitted the F1 Asy., last time, one member actual came over to my place and try the tyres out.....but then again, on different car may be different again.....

yup.
different ppl, different opinion.
different car, different feel.
example, an average priced UHP tyre can perform as good as expensive UHP tyre on a smaller car.

btw, the 595 evo tyres i used on a perdana.
now using c-drive, the dry performance not as used to, but comfort and aquaplaning resistance is up.

C-Drive or C-Drive 2? Comfort of course as C range is for Combination of Comfort and Performance, but I am surprise it is better in aquaplaning also. Sure you are not comparing New C-Drive to Bald 595Evo...:biggrin:
