How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Federal 595RPM receives mixed-to-negative feedback, praised primarily for its affordability and decent dry performance for lower-powered vehicles, but criticized heavily by enthusiasts for weak sidewalls, poor high-speed stability, and dangerous wet-weather traction. While some users find them acceptable for budget-conscious daily driving, high-performance applications reveal significant shortcomings in grip and longevity.
Pros
- Extremely budget-friendly price point
- Good dry weather steering feedback and neutral handling on standard vehicles
- Decent performance for lower-horsepower cars
Cons
- Severe lack of wet traction and proneness to wheelspin
- Soft sidewalls leading to rolling, sliding, and high-speed wallowing under hard cornering
- Rapid tread wear with very short lifespan (approximately 10,000 miles)
Worth knowing
- High-horsepower sports cars like the Corvette Z06 experience severe performance degradation, with users recommending the tire only for vehicles under 250 horsepower.
