Federal couragia tires!!!

Postby KWAKHED » Sat Mar 10, 2012 4:21 pm

Got a set of these yesterday with about 10,000 miles on em. By the afternoon, one had blown and the rest were split all around the side wall. Did some research and found they are notorious for this. Please be cautious if you own these tires.

That sux. But I have been running a set on my 05 wrangler for about 5k miles without any problems. They seem to be the right tire for what i need which is getting in and out of the duck holes. I will have to keep a closer check on them after hearing about your bad luck.

From what I have read, it has been heavier trucks having the most problems. Some reviews are great but most ae not. I hope for you it is the better of the two. If you wanna check em, look around the side tread. That is where they start splitting. I wish they would correct the problem because they are a good looking and good treaded tire.

I had some a 1995 Chevrolet and had the same problems. They were very poor tires from my experience.

Everyone I've heard with complaints were on diesels. Mine have been on for little less than 10000 mi and no problem yet on a suburban.

Mine were on an 01 z and then I put them on my tahoe, so just be cautious.
