Local tire shop to me called Grand Premier is a certified seller of them so I got them through them last summer. They gave me a pretty good deal. I think I paid around $900 for them which included installation and three year extended warranty on any defects. I had a tire shop further south of me who is not certified seller of them quote me well over $1100 for them installed with no extended warranty and since they were not certified it was going to take weeks to get them in. Grand Premier had them stocked already. I checked around the internet and it appears the average at the time was around $1000 pending on the tire size to get these. I think prices have come down on them now though.

 

those rims are sexy!..

 

Federals are definitely a good cheap tire to stretch. =D
For what they're worth they're pretty good.

 

^do u get a lot of road nose?..

 

nah I don't hear anything, do you usually get that from hard driving? cause I don't drive very fast.

A couple of my other friends stretch federals too and as far I know they have no complains about road noise.

 

yeah i do well its probably cause i gutted my back no back seats and took out the sound dampering!..

 

I've seen people stretching Fuzion tires as well and stretching them far. They are cheap and made in Japan. My sister ran them on her tC and they are running great so far...Their main page has a comic tC on it too.

yea im gonna go with the federals... i just paid for my 18x9 et 31 AME FS-01 in bronze!!!!! after the adapters they will be +16 i cant friggen wait they will be here a week from tuesday

 

damn nice...cant wait to see that set up

 

dave, what size?

 

i think im gonna go with 215/40 idk tho im nervous its gonna be too much tire should i check to see if 215/35 is available?

 

I'm running 215/35 on the LMs right now. they are thin. as soon as they need new tires, I'm going with 215/40 or 205/40

 

i'd do 205/40 if i were you.. 215/40 is too fat.. lol you might run into fender trouble..

 

yeah i'm leaning more towards 205/40.

 

Do they make the federals in 205/40?

 

no but i wish they did. i'm planning to go with Nitto NeoGens

 

I had the neogens before I loved them plus they handle negative camber well

 

yup, nittos have always been my fave

 

they are fairly cheap too. im gonna look into them. i was just curious as to how they stretched.

 

i have the 555 on my SC400. it's a decent stretch 235/35 on 10" wide. on 3* camber, the sidewall looks to be holding up just fine and the tread is still deep. hopefully the neogens are just as good.
