Do you like the Federals? I.ve been selling them for about 11 years, always good to know how people feel about them.

Federals??? What are they??

And factory rims are 15s arent they? And im pretty sure the GoodYears that come on the 16s are 195/45R16

Federals are a taiwanese tyre, in the mid price range, but with better performance than some higher priced tyres. A 205/40R16 will be approx the same circumference as a 195/45R16, but wider.

harsher the better, you wait till i lower it and sway bars are added,

sacerybear- i dont mind them they were good new now they are jsut over 1/2 warn ive found no where near as much grip, though could be me pushing the car harder?

iguess i will see in a few months when i buy new tyres how they compared.


my factory 16"s came with these tyres was well chuffed,
