I learned my lesson with the 165/45 15 federals... and will tell anyone here that can still find these to stack up while they are cheap/can find them.
Pros: cheap, can find them

Share on social networks:
One of the front tires is leaking a small amount of air (5-10psi/ month) out of the valve stem and one rear lip is bent but still holds air.
Pros: holds air
Cons: leaking air, bent lip
Federal Tire Quality- Just like any tire it truly depends on the model/size. I have had 165/45's and they are junk for daily driving. I am currently rolling on 205/40/16 Federal 595's and I love them.
Pros: love them
Cons: junk for daily driving
formoza 165 45's.... i gotz 2 sets. they are great. and fairly cheap.
Pros: great, fairly cheap
Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...
Cons: worn almost to belt
this. plus they are super scary in the rain
Cons: super scary in rain
you dont want them anyway.. They have to be the worst tier ever made, and will only last one season at most
Cons: worst tier ever made
I got some Federal 215/40/18's from Josh @ Sterling Tire and I think they're great! They stretch well, have a bit of a lip protector and aren't loud. The traction is great, especially in the rain.
Pros: great traction, stretch well
Cons: bit of a lip
these tires ride like ****. obviously. and your roads are no worse than anyone elses.
Cons: ride like ****
Yes the handling is worse! Yes I feel my ride is compromised when taking corners, braking, and overall feel for the road is reduced.
Pros: jamm under the fender
Cons: handling is worse
