Which Federal 595 tires are you guys talking about, as when I look for them they show a 595, a SS-595, and 595RPM? Also, where are some good places to source drift tires from? Discount Tire & TireRack don't carry these brands. Thanks
Your welcome man! I know it's hard to get some info on tires and it really is a personal preference but I think you will be happy with the 595's on your 86!

Some people run 595RSRs in the front and 595s in the rear to get more front-end grip, but 595s all around are a good choice for this car on stock or near-stock power.

Like @slava mentioned a few posts up, you can find them on simpletire.com
I have been running them all the way around but now that I am more comfortable with my car and the local track I get some understeer. I think it might just be the front tires are getting worn down more or I need to mess with tire pressures? None the less great tires for the price!
