Title: Anybody ever use Federal Couragia tires?
Post by: V8Demon on October 03, 2014, 07:15:04 AM
The tires on my cat are still meaty with tread, but have been on there for almost 6 years now.  Right now they're good, but I do wonder when and if dry rot will peak it's head out?  Right now I run Maxxis Marauder MA-S1's in 235/60-15 in front and 255/60-15 in the rear.  These are an H speed rated tire, are relatively inexpensive and grip well in dry pavement.  They're OK in the rain as well (better than the Pirelli P600s I used to run), but I'm wondering how the Federal Couragia's in the same sizes would hold up?  They're also H speed rated and priced similarly.  Unfortunately higher performance tires in this size are becoming rather scarce in non-drag radial form.  I was gonna bite the bullet and order some V-rated ones from ENGALND, but theyy were discontinued sometime between June and now.....  :(

I have Federals on my Tbird for autoX use; the 595 rs-R. I have been quite impressed with them for what I paid, but I have no other experience with Federal tires, sorry.
