Seem to be great so far. Haven't driven enough to have an opinion for treadwear. Easy to balance. I would recommend for a tire at that price point.

Changed over from studded snows to these for summer season driving on a 2007 VW Jetta. Live in eastern Maine. Experienced Spring snow, sleet, and rain and tires performed well considering the type. No hydroplaning on collected water in grooved highways. Dry cornering on exit/on ramps at speed is comfortable with output drift or shift. Reasonable price. Cannot comment on wear at this time less than 1000 miles. Road noise minimal.
Have almost 2000 miles on them now after a trip from North Carolina to Florida and back. Once broken in, they track great and soak up bumps pretty well. I added a few extra psi before the long trip to account for a full car load and to protect my wheels. Got these all seasons as my second set of wheels for the fall and winter months, being that my other tires are high performance summers. Only had a small amount of rain since install, so can't truly comment on that. Overall, so far a great tire for the money. Federal seems to be a good mid range budget tire. We also have a set of Formoza fd2 on our 2013 Jetta that have done extremely well, partly why I went with federal again on my Audi.
Get technical:
An ultra high performance, all season tire, the Formoza AZ01 is designed for use on luxury, performance, and mid sized sedans and offers drivers strong performance on wet and dry roads along with a comfortable ride.
Features & Benefits
- All-season tread
- Black sidewall
- Tread and tire blocks are enclosed to reduce road noises
Today's sedan drivers often long for a tire that's built to perform year round, and the Formoza AZ01 from Federal Tires does that while also offering a luxurious driving experience. The Formoza AZ01 features blade shaped grooves that effectively remove water for better traction on slippery roads, and a honeycomb designed sidewall lowers rolling resistance to improve fuel efficiency. Commonly used by drivers of luxury, performance, and mid-sizes sedans, the Formoza AZ01's enclosed tread and tire blocks reduce road noises to give drivers a comfortable ride.
