   couldnt think of another section to put this in so does anyone know how good Federal tyres are or are they just a cheap brand?

   tyres being what keep ya car on the road i personly never scrimp on them
   
   i drive a saloon taxi on weekends and he used cheap tyres it would sqeel round all corners even at low speed and would just go straight in the wet and would not corner at all
   
   go for some thing in mid range price and ya wont go far wrong

   federal's are near the bottom in the tyre range mate. go for something a little dearer like newtomods was saying. Something like, Pirelli, Dunlop, Hankook, Michelin, BF goodridge etc etc etc
