I honestly would stay away from Federal tires, never had luck with any of their models. poor construction of the tire, and a low treadwear rating. those tires aint gonna last.

I admit the tires are cheap
Like everyone says, you pay for what you get

as far as performance, the tires felt sloppy to me, probally little-to-not enough plies on the sidewall. vehicle was acuraTL<--mommy's car
