145/55 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Federal SS595 SUPER STEEL rated 72% while driving a Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 average miles
Okay so these were a bit of a gamble, but the Toyo Proxes I have been using just wear out too quickly (12K - 14K Miles) and a puncture on new year's day meant I needed a quick and cheaper solution.

They are good tyres! The wet grip isn't quite as good as the Toyos', but not by much, and the general handling and feel of them is fine. Road noise is a little different but not intrusive. Wear seems to be even although I haven't done many miles on them.

Definitely worth a try.
