          Any of you cool cats or kittens ever played around with Federal tires?

          Looking at the Federal Evo ST-1, can get 4 of em in my oddball desired size of 235/40/19 for under $400 shipped. I'm assuming they're not fantastic, super sticky, long living tires. But, they might be a good stop gap for me to see if I want to go up to that size from my 225s.

              You're getting black and round.  Federal isn't the worst out there by any means but it's not what I'd buy unless I planned on burning them off.  There's actually a ton of options in that size due to the popularity of big skinny rims nowadays so if it's a choice driven by a lack of options I'd encourage you to look further.  If it's price motivated then these will scratch that itch.

                You'll be happy with the sottozero.  I've driven on them and sold a ton and have never been told a bad thing about them.  Good buy.

                  Thought process is that my current tires are nearing the end of their lives, I want to do a track day at Blackhawk in a couple months and will want newer tires for that, and I want to try a larger size on my already low-ish car without committing long term. I think I'll do it, #THANKS

                    I'm running a set of those exact tires on my 128, it's my daily so it doesn't get the crap pounded out of it, but when I do lean into the corners hard I've been pleased. 
                    They have quite a bit of grip, have good feel / breakaway characteristic, and seem to be doing okay on tread wear (though a bit early to tell).
                    For the price I figured it was worth a shot.

                      Well my winter setup showed up today, ordered yesterday around noon, arrived today at 2. Tirerack is the amazon prime of the tire world.

                            Well, taking a little break from having a fast BMW. Sold the compact to @alexw and am just having fun with my '96 Volvo 850 daily.

                            And I blacked out the kidneys on the X3. Excuse the filthy garage.
