FEDERAL TIRES | TIRE BUYING GUIDE
Founded in 1954, Federal Tire is a Taiwan company that makes tires for SUVs, passenger cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles. The company also makes Hero brand of tires. Federal is one of many brands that offer a good selection of affordable tires for consumers who are looking to save money. While they don’t perform as well as the small group of tier 1 tire brands, Federals hold their own among their tier 2 peers.
Federal Tire Categories
Federal Tire manufactures tires in several categories for SUVs, crossovers, passenger vehicles, light trucks and commercial vehicles. Below are the lines of Federal Tire products that you can purchase online from Tire Agent.
Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) is a US government standard that helps the US Department of Transportation hold tire manufactures accountable for making safe and reliable tires for American roads. Treadwear is one of the factors that tire makers self-report. Treadwear measures how well a manufacturer’s tires are expected to hold up under normal driving conditions against other brands in the same category. Here, you can see that Federal’s all-season tires are slightly lower than industry average. There are a number of factors that you should consider, however, when shopping for tires, including handling, road noise, and braking response. This is how Federal tire ratings stack up against competitors.
