Federal Himalaya SUV

I bought these as my first winter tyre and had them returned back to the garage within a week. Both my dad and I ordered these tyres around the same time but my dad had them fitted a day or two before me. He complained that his front wheels had spun when taking off at a junction three times that day...not good! ANyways, got mine fitted and to drive on they felt fine, very quiet and comfortable. However, I quickly noticed that the steering now felt a bit squirmy and cornering was crap...they seemed really twitchy. But best was to come....first bit of real cold weather and slightly icy conditions and on a slow corner that I had driven across for around 20 odd years...I ended up sliding sideways onto the other side of the road. Two cars infront of me going the same speed had no problems...just me! That was enough for me to return them - they were hopeless and I'll never buy cheap tyres like that again. Got some Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 tyres now - will review them in a few months but so far they are a HUG lot better. Federal Himalaya - rubbish. Actually, my dad told me today he was wheel spinning the front tyres again....beleive me when I say he drives SLOW.

These tyres are terrible at my car. The car is very unstable when I go beyond 60 km/h if there is any tracks in the road. I'll change thwm before next winter season, even if the are almost brand new.
