Federals, know anything??
You guys know much about these. They kinda look cool...Much cheaper then the rest. Ive just never seen them before.If i ever get my lift out of the box and on the truck im going to be needing some bigger treads. my 33" TG's arent going to cut it

They are made in Taiwan, if that's any help. Discount Tire is supposedly the distributor for them. If you don't expect much out of them I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've never seen this particular tire on the road but I have seen trucks with Federal brand tires. I didn't see anything outstanding or bad about them. I would assume because of price, they are a short life tire.

I am running a set of 35 12.50 20 Federal Couragia MT's I have had them for a year and a half and 40k+ miles... I love them and I wish that they came in a 37 or 38 or I would buy those... but they don't! What do you want to know about them... they have a great tread pattern and are a really nice tire with a great price!!!!

i had a set of 30x9.50r15s on my old jeep cherokee and they did pull really good and they seemed to wear good up until i had about 25k on them, then the side walls started blowing out one by one lol but they were pretty old by that time. and a buddy of mine had a set of them in a 35 for a 20 on a 4 door GMC 2500 hd and he drove on them for like 3 months with no signs of wear then he rolled the truck twice and wrapped it around a pole and totalled it. and the tires were the only thing that didnt get hurt. he now has that same set on a yukon and there still looking pretty good. but for the price you cant beat em, overall it aint no nitto or toyo but still a good tire.

I have a set of 35x12.5x20's. Only have a little over 3K miles on them but I like them so far. The only thing I can say bad about them is that I don't think they do very well in snow. But other than that I like them

not many mud tires do well in snow or at least ive never had any. well thats good news. im game for trying new stuff. I guess they have a black wall. i dont like the white letters out. Ill rock them out as soon as i sell my tires. Keep up the good info fellas. I was just wanting to know ride quality/performance/mileage....If jeep guys like them, they must not be too bad. they normally use them

Mine did exceptional in the snow a year ago... not so well this year as they have lower tread. and I have NEVER had a problem with the side wall. No problems at all I love them. But I'm fixing to put my 38's on. I'll probably sell the ones I have they still have half tread left.
