Fierce UHP by goodyear, the new federal 595s?

alright, these seem to be the new federal 595s.

they are called fierce, by goodyear. Ultra High performance tire.

Released in the end of august but no one could get them since they had to ship out and etc. So now they are here.

Anyone heard ANYTHING on these? the prices seem AMAZING.

FIERCE Ultra High performance summer tires(Manufactured by Goodyear)

http://www.fiercetires.com

These are the prices in CANADIAN FUNDS. These prices include mounting and balancing from my local tire store so subtract $40 CND from those prices and you get the price of these tires in your hands.

check it.

FIERCE UHP 205/55ZR16 91W $380/set CND
FIERCE UHP 205/50ZR16 87W $370/set
FIERCE UHP 225/50ZR16 92W $400/set
FIERCE UHP 245/50ZR16 97W $430/set
FIERCE UHP 205/45ZR16 83W $380/set
FIERCE UHP 205/45ZR17 84W $410/set
FIERCE UHP 215/45ZR17 87W $430/set
FIERCE UHP 225/45ZR17 91W $470/set
FIERCE UHP 235/45ZR17 94W $480/set
FIERCE UHP 245/45ZR17 95W $500/set
FIERCE UHP 205/40ZR17 84W $390/set
FIERCE UHP 215/40ZR17 83W $450/set
FIERCE UHP 245/40ZR17 91W $510/set
FIERCE UHP 255/40ZR17 94W $530/set
FIERCE UHP 275/40ZR17 98W $580/set
FIERCE UHP 225/40ZR18 88W $560/set
FIERCE UHP 235/40ZR18 91W $630/set
FIERCE UHP 265/35ZR18 93W $750/set


almost the same price level as your cheap but awesome federal 595s.

i'll be grabbing a set soon since these prices are LOW LOW.

i think these will be the new cheap but grippy drift tire. just hope they don't belt or grease up.

I would be curious myself, I was planning on picking up a set of federals, but shipping from CA kicks my ass on the price, if these would be comprable, they might be an option.

if you actually convert it and subtract the $40 balancing and mounting fee, it is almost the same.

225/45/17 for federals are about 70-75$ USD

225/45/17 for fierce is about $85 USD unmounted and taxes in. (converted it to USD$ and subtracted the mounting and balancing fee)

you have to remember, this is MY local tire place. you guys in cali and etc can probably get them for cheaper.

$10 difference can be easily adjusted depending on many factors, so yes, these are certainly the same price range as federals.

these are also 420 treadwear and are traction AA.

a bit higher treadwear rating i think then the federals or very similar.

They used our Time Attack Evo for the commercial

Feddy 595 for life

But good to see other companies are trying to bring in lower cost performance tires

If it fits, works, and is in your budget, then its a good tire to me

If you are not racing F1, who cares

Same here.

I know how 595's feel,
I know they smoke like crazy
I know they're cheaper than 430$ a set.
I know federal always sponsors cars/events in drifting. I like That.

$430 a set? yes unmounted BUT thats a CANADIAN price.

$340 USD is the price converted but you guys can probably get it cheaper.

the prices above arn't offical website listings or whatever, thats the price breakdown from a LOCAL shop.

anyways ill try these and writeup a review since ive also driven on 595s.

might as well have a wider span of choices just incase federal decides to increase prices.

i have the fierces on my car, got them from a guy i traded some stuff to way back last october when they first came out, all i have to say is they are actually pretty good and wear great, and they arent really a new tire the are just a re-labeled fulda carat tire also made by goodyear, but not bad for how cheap they are

The Nexen N3000 is aight.

it doesn't fall apart... it grips ok... it feathers bad though, which is gonna make a racket if you drift on them then keep them for daily.

for 70$ for a 235/40/18 its about as much as you can ask.

Federal 595 is a good tyre.

I have no idea about these new FIERCE tyres as i have never used them but i doubt they would be the same

Every time I see a Nexen or Federal tire on a car, it reminds me of the pathetic bargain-basement Sears blowout tires I see on '94 Explorers with purple tint and extreme sun damage.

I've heard good things about the SS595s, but you'll never see them on my car unless I got a pair of 225s for dirt cheap to go on my spare wheels. However, if you're burning through several pairs of tires at every track day, you have to either have deep pockets or make compromises to stretch your money. The Federals are a nice compromise for the rear. For the front, I think they're a bit on the cheap side.

I daily on AD07s and RE01-Rs. I've tracked on both; currently running the RE01-Rs. They're expensive and I'm not made of money, but they're absolutely worth the price for me. I'm willing to accept that I'm going through a set of expensive tires every few thousand miles for the amount of fun they give me. Everything about them is top-notch.

The Fierce tire line and website obviously cater to today's idiotic youth, who are more willing to spend money on an in-dash DVD player than on the four hoops keeping their wheels off the road. Considering the dearth of true unadulterated, unadorned performance available to consumers in the sport compact market, the Fierce line was entirely predictable. I hope it dies quickly but it won't, as made abundantly clear by the success of Megan Racing, SSAutoChrome and all the other bargain basement brands.

Damn dude, I was gonna say.. fuckin IN YO FACE. I completely agree.

What do I run? I run bridgestone tires, cause I like them. I'de rather have less mods and better stuff, than a bunch of pieced together garbage.

its very simple, i picked up a set of RE01R's. before that, I had S03's.. and if I am on a budget.. I've had RE750's. Before those, I had RE730's.

if a tire makes screeching noises, its garbage in my opinion. all the good quality tires ive ever purchased have been silent.. and even when at the limit, they just smoothly break adhesion.
