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.
