Default federals? drift or what?

Hey I've been ridijg on my federal 595s for a week now n they are pretty good tires but a bit on the wabbling side on the freeway. Meaning it kinda slides without giving signs or nething. Assuming its for drifting purposes cuz the car slides easily. Even when I jerk left n right it just goes left n never right lol. Can someone inform me just for safety reasons so I know what exactly its limits/purpose is for. I guess its not a daily driving tire? Thanks guys.

they will hold fine they are gripping its just eth sidewall isnt rock hard like azenis....

what you are feeling is the change from what you are used to .... drive around on them a while and you wont notice after a while....

i can't complain really cuz they are sticky and i can take a turn that i usually take at about 31 or so (a left turn on a straight right angle street basically) at about 39 today and taht was w/out pushing it at all. I was surprised cuz it grips so smooth and rides smooth i take a turn w/out raelizing how fast i really am cuz im just driving regularly. but the sidewall affects the tire on tight turns right? the problem im ahving is the threads seem to be soft. like i jerk left and right really fast but slightly going about 80 and the car just sits straight doenst move left or right just like wobbles left and right in a scary fashion.

besides that, its smooth, quiet, sticky, and i like it. I'm just worried about that FW part.

EXACTLY... once u get used to it u wont notice.... 90% of the tires out there that dont have a brick for a sidewall are like that...
glad you enjoy them.....
