Federal Formoza AZ01

Anybody here ever try these? Or have any experience with this brand? https://www.federaltire.com/en/products_detail.php?products_detail_sn=10 Made in Taiwan.

Seem priced right, however I can get BF Goodrich Advantage Sport T/A for about the same at Costco installed.

Same price, I would go with BF Goodrich. I trust Costco to deliver if there are issues with the tire.
No experience with the brand, but I could not find warranty or tread wear info on their site.

No brainer. Service at Cosco and warranty will beat the Federals.

The Federal UHP/MAX performance tires are really good (but VERY noisy on the highway, due to tread pattern/construction).

I have a summer setup of their RS-RRs, a 200 tread wear gumball, mounted on dedicated wheels, and will not put them on until the lowest night time ambient temps stay ABOVE 55*F.

Some on the Fiesta ST Forums have their more 'pedestrian' tires, and seem happy with them, for the price.

For just several hundred dollars more you could buy Michelins.......

Why are you promoting Michelins? No one else in this thread is! Do you even have a point to make?

He has guzzled several gallons of Michelin Kool-Aid.

DOT Code (2E) for this model tire goes back to this plant. https://es.panjiva.com/Federal-Tire-Jiangxi-Ltd/1089598 http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/tire-dot-plant-codes-sorted-plant-code/

If it were made in Taiwan I would give it a try. The BF Goodrich tire I was looking at has complaints of high speed vibration. Now I am looking at TOYO A20.
