Tires FEDERAL or Laufenn
Got my tires yesterday and went and got them mounted this morning. Liking them so far, hardly any stretch. I'll have my coilovers in a couple weeks then to see how they are on the car. 165/55/14 Federals on 14x6 wheels
Pros: hardly any stretch
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
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
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
IIRC he said it dropped him like two more inches and it's VERY stiff.
Pros: dropped him two inches
Cons: VERY stiff
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
