Driving on a combination of roads for 2500 spirited miles
These tires are very good. My car came with Continental Eco Contact3 165/70/14, and I replaced them with Falken ze912 185/60/15 on a new pair of Rial rims. Everybody told me the road noise will be louder, and the car's consumption will rise. I was in for a big surprise. Road noise the same, consumption the same, but dry grip and handling ... much better. The car turns where i want, when i want and as fast as i want. Very very good tires. Tried them once in rain. Nothing bad here.

Writing about the Federal Formoza FD1 given 54% (185-60-15-H)
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 spirited miles
The wear on these tyres has been minimal over 10,000 miles suggesting a hard rubber compound that gives reasonable performance in the dry. In the wet, the feedback is good, but unfortunately the tyres are telling you that they have minimal grip which translates to significant understeer at relatively low speeds. I would not want to brake hard in the wet and always drive defensively to avoid the possibility. They have M+S stamped on them which used to mean Mud & Snow when I was a lad. I'm not sure what it means now but whilst the tyres are ok on fresh snow their performance in slush or on ice is poor. As a budget tyre for driving around in the dry they are fine but any hint of wet weather requires a large adjustment in expectation and speed.
