Federal Formoza FD2 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 15 reviews

Owners of the Federal Formoza FD2 most often praise quiet running and ride comfort, with value for money another recurring positive. Wet grip attracts more praise than criticism, although a minority are strongly dissatisfied. Dry grip is more divided, with four critical accounts against three favourable ones among the 15 reviewers. Around one in five also criticises steering feedback, making it less convincing for drivers seeking a sharp response. Tread-life reports vary, and the two end-of-life accounts criticise wear, so the positive refinement reports do not establish consistent long-term durability.

The tire is made in Taiwan with fair price, treadwear 420, Y rating with mud+snow, famous for silence anc comfort. If you are looking for a set of tire which not expensive but with long service life and comfort/silence, FD2 is one of your best choice. However, if you are looking for something sporty, it's not for your dish.

Early days yet but these tyres are performing well so far. Dry grip is good with a decent amount of feedback and plenty of warning at the limit. Grip on wet roads is far better than I thought it would be considering this is a summer tyre. Comfort on all road surfaces is definitely a step up from the very worn Pirellis they replaced. How they will wear over time remains to be seen, but overall these are not bad at all for a budget tyre and I would definitely buy again at the price.
