They are sold as a "budget" tyre in the same way as tyres like Woosung, Debica, Dark Horse, Westlake etc etc.

Your tyres are your only contact point with the road. Don't skimp on them as it could cost you dearly

got the federals on my dailey runner and think they are ok for a budget tyre as said above, nothing wrong with them

dont think any tyre is that good in the wet anyway, especially with all the crap on the roads, solution is to drive slower and leave more braking room in the wet
