Tires FEDERAL or OEM FORD

FEDERAL Tires

I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.

Pros: affordable, good grip
Cons: poor in the rain

Federal FZ-201 M tires. They were as fast as my used Hoosier R7s on the same course. Ended up about 1 second faster on a 1:15 lap vs the R7s. Fairly communicative towards the limits. On Auto Cross they were very sticky.

Pros: fast, very sticky
Cons: limited sizes, short life

I use them daily for about 2 years now in SoCal. Daily drive them. I do fine at track days on them and they lasted quite a long time. Now they are pretty loud however but eh kinda get used to them.

Pros: lasted quite a long time
Cons: pretty loud

If you plan on using the Federals for daily driving i do highly suggest looking elsewhere. They are sticky but they are god-awful loud at any speed over 30mph. The tread design makes them hum like no other tire ive ever run on. Track day setup only then the Federal is a great tire to try out. Sticky as hell and very forgiving on the breakaway. Initial turn in is a bit less precise than the Azenis but not by much.

Pros: sticky, forgiving on breakaway
Cons: god-awful loud
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

Federals are good but if you are daily driving you will hate how much noise those bastards make, really really fast.

Pros: good performance
Cons: very noisy

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
