Mid-price safety on wet roads The most crucial task I want a tyre to perform is to stop me quick on a wet and greasy road. Yes, it s nice to be able to corner hard on a nice dry road, but lots of tyres will do that for you. Most accidents happen on wet days, and that must tell us ... The most crucial task I want a tyre to perform is to stop me quick on a wet and greasy road. Yes, it s nice to be able to corner hard on a nice dry road, but lots of tyres will do that for you. Most accidents happen on wet days, and that must tell us something. My priority when I went shopping for tyres this time was wet grip and lots of it, without having to pay $200 or more per tyre on my Suzuki Swift Sport. I trawled through close to a hundred online tyre reviews, and the Federal Formoza AZ01 looked like a good bet; it was consistently rated high for grip in bad weather (even mud and partial ice/snow). Federal say they have engineered all the seasons into different bands of the tread pattern, and I think I can see which bits are optimised for which conditions. The rubber compound is a premium silica type, and this really is an essential ingredient in any decent tyre these days. The tread pattern has LOTS of patterning, and lots of what you might call negative space . Also, I noticed how deep the fresh tread is... there must be 6-7mm of lovely new rubber down the sides of those tread grooves. I like to see deep tread on a new tyre, and I am not kidding when I say that some new tyres have less depth than others right off the bat. These are asymmeytric tyres, with the most stable part of the tread on the outer margins for reasonable cornering response in the dry, but are not directional. This is a big help when time comes to rotating your tyres, as you can swap them into any position (not just front to rear). So how do they go? In the wet, they are just what they promise to be. They are pretty much as sticky as any tyre at any price in a straight line hard stop in the rain. Mission accomplished. No, they are not the perfect tyre for every user. Hard and fast drivers on dry roads (or track days, etc) will find the complex and deep tread too flexible for pin-sharp manoeuvres. There s just a slight lag in turn-in. And they aren t the quietest tyre I ve owned, either. I bought the Formoza AZ01 s to keep me safe in the worst weather, and to keep my wife and daughter safe also when they take the car out in the rain. I am quite OK that the tyres are not optimised for sports driving. Like I said, when conditions are poor is when you are glad your tyres can out-brake the car in front of you!

Would buy this tyre again.

Driving down the freeway and the front left blew. I went to Toyota for a service, Got a wheel alignment and two AZ01 fitted to the front. At first I was happy because they did not aquaplane like the factory and the Tyre had little noise. I noticed they seem to be wearing fast. at 18000 km the front ... Similar opinion? Write a review!
