Tires...Federal SS 595?

[EuroGSTSpyder]

What kinda brand is this? Does anyone know anything about them?How is the quality on those?They have a pattern just like Good Year Eagle (pretty close anyway) on one of their tires and I know its a knock off..but how good/bad are they?Will they do for a regular driver with no raceintentions?I havent heard much about them so I was just curious
these are the one I am thinking of.."Federal ss595" :

Yeah I saw a ad in Super Street for them but it said they have a VERY stiff sidewall and thats not to good for traction, just cornering.

LoL, since he didn't respond to how the tires were, here's my info on this. I bought a set about 9 months ago and they are now dangerously pretty much balled. I don't burn out or anything. I have a 1997 GST w/ 18 inch ADR rims on tein springs and AGX adjustables. Traction was okay, Cornering was GREAT! I took 25MPH turns at around 65 to 70mph with no tire squeel. I am going to try another cheap set of tires. I'm picking up a set of Fuzion Zri tires also in 225/40/18 we'll see how long these last. The federals only lasted me about 14k miles. I don't think my car was alligned very well, because of how the tire wear was, but I will make sure to have a reputable shop align my car right after I install these tires.
