Federal Formoza FD2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Federal Formoza FD2 is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Federal offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.The tire offers excellent all weather traction. The special tread pattern and silica-based tire compound work together to ensure an enhanced dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The wide circumferential grooves and the multi-siping detail on the tread blocks increase the water and slush dispersing ability, which effectively improves the hydroplaning resistance. The better water evacuation and all weather traction guarantee a safer year round driving experience.The model's controllability and handling are also upgraded. The solid center rib of the tread design maintains constant road contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes more responsive to the driver's commands and its precision is updated, while the tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The shoulder tread block sequence promotes exceptional cornering and maneuvering ability. This is achieved as the tread blocks provide additional biting edges during such situations and improve the driving security.The computer designed tread elements increase the stability of the tire's footprint. As the footprint is stabilized the tread elements do not shift during the drive, allowing the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, braking and cornering actively prevents irregular wear formations across the tread area. The constantly even tread extends the tire's usability and tread life and makes the tire more cost efficient.The Formoza FD2 guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The special variable sub-grooves in the shoulder tread design manage to lower the road noise. They negate the road noise generated while the tires are in motion by creating a sound frequency. The lowered road noise levels offer a more enjoyable drive. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
