Default Federal and Savero tires

Anyone have these? Seem to have pretty decent reviews, wondering if there are any major issues with these?

I had a set of Savero tires on a previous truck. They ride nice, grip good in rain/wet roads and corner well.
They were new on a truck I bought from a used truck dealer. Inexpensive to be sure but did the job and had plenty of tread left when I traded in two years later.

Thanks for the info - good to know. They do offer a pretty good price.

The shop I work for has been selling a tire called IRONMAN. I believe they are made by Hercules.

Nice tires, seem to wear well. AND the seem to last on gravel roads.

Priced reasonable as well. FWIW.

Have Federal street tires on a Pontiac Solstice I bought used. I believe the dealer put them on because of their price point. After five years I'm looking at replacing them. My experience and most of the on-line reviews I've read have been favorable. I wouldn't say they were "excellent" tires but not bad at all.

Truck tires? Can't help on that one but overall I wouldn't rule them out.

The Federal Couragia MT's lasted around 20,000 miles on my '07 in 35x12.5R20. Looked great, surprisingly not stupid loud, ride well, wore evenly, handled great offroad, and well they were a mud tire on the street. Lol. They would get squirrely taking turns from a stop in wet conditions if you weren't thinking (or were ). I'm actually thinking about running them on my '16 to get rid of these street tires. When I got them I paid around $200-$250 each from Firestone, then $20 each for road hazard.
