FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Longer lasting tread life
• Enhanced controllability
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Federal Formoza FD1 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes a lengthened usability. It combines the all season compound and the ideal footprint and tread design to ensure a longer lasting service life. The compound's wear-resistant rubber elements and excellent heat build-up resistance significantly slow the tread wear rate down. The tread design's surface contact enables the footprint to evenly spread out the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated driving pressure in this manner cannot create irregular wear formations on the tire's surface. As a result, the guarantees a reduced tread wear rate and an even wear manner, offering a longer tread life.

The compound and the tread pattern also improve the all weather traction. The all season surface grip ensures the tire's safer performance on dry, wet and winter weather road conditions. The ideal tread pattern's versatile elements increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion, while the compound maintains its rubber flexibility in various temperatures. The wider circumferential and the angled lateral grooves manage to channel water and slush from below the tire's footprint, actively avoiding hydroplaning in the process. This upgrades the tire's year round driving safety levels.

The tread design and the flat footprint boost the driving comfort levels during the tire's performance. The footprint ensures the tire's close surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire is in constant contact with the road surface, allowing it to absorb the shock of driving. This significantly decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. On the other hand, the tread pattern's variable elements create a special sound frequency which negates the road noise. This prevents road and tread pattern noise from reaching the vehicle's cabin and ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment. As a result, the tire offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

The Formoza FD1 upgrades the controllability as well. The tread design's continuous center rib maintains the tire's surface contact constantly, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, it enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure. The ideal shoulder block placement increases the cornering capability. These blocks and their siping placement provide additional biting edges to grip the road surface during the tire's maneuvering, greatly enhancing the driver's control over the vehicle.
