Looking into buying Federal Couragia M/T's , found them for 135.00 each on line! They have the look I'm looking for. I was considering the Goodyear Duratrac's but they price out at 200.00 each!!! just wondering if anyone had good/bad experience with federal tires?

My buddy just bought the Federal Couragia M/T's in 285/70r17 and a week later I bought the Goodyear Duratrac's in 275/70r18. Both are almost equal in size and width and both most certainly look awesome. We've both had them on for approximately 6 months now and they both seem to be wearing perfectly. HOWEVER, I am currently thinking of taking a hit and selling my Duratrac's for the Couragia's because they look soo much more aggressive. Don't get me wrong, the Duratrac's look amazing, they really do, but everytime I am parked next to my buddies I find myself wanted the Couragia's for that aggressive M/T tread pattern. The Couragia's are also so reasonably priced that I'm thinking of moving up to a 35" for the same price I payed for my 33" Duratrac's. The only negative point I can think to make about the Couragia's is that they are a bit louder than my Duratrac's. All in all, I'd go with the Couraigia's. Even though Federal might not be the most glamorous name in the tire game, I can personally attest to the fact that they look great, wear well, and are great on & offroad.

My brother has 35x12.50 on his Chevy and I wanted to get them for my jeep. They have an aggressive look and are really cost effective. They are a little heavy compared to most tires such as the duratrac but they also have a 50k warranty I believe. I would go for it.
Dude, I've got 30x9.50's and, despite being smaller, they look and perform awesome!! They have about 12k on them and they are wearing much better than I thought they would considering the aggressive M/T tread. I will most certainly be purchasing some 31's when I retire this set.
I had them on my ram hemi 35s..They were awesome for the price too. Look up Mr. Wheel Deal on facebook or just google him. He will beat anyones prices!!!
I have the Federal Couragia's on my JK with about 5,000 miles on them including some pretty rough wheeling. I'm loving them. They do sing pretty good going down the road but that's not an issue for me.
Bumping bc local shops are pushing these but there isn't a ton of info on them. 35x12.50x18 is the size. Just wanting to see if people got some more miles and seeing their recommendation on them.
About 7,000 miles now - no issues at all. Good performance in mud, rocks, etc. If loud "singing" tires bother you then these will definitely bother you - they are loud. These may be a good deal at their price point. I'm liking them so far. I wish they made a 33x12.50R18 though. I'm not quite ready to jump to 35s on my daily driver.
I don't know about the 10ply but I have a buddy with them 35x12.50x17s he really likes them, he's got a JKU. They are loud but are great on the trails and clean out easy, good on road and in rain
I know this thread is old, oh well. I have 35x12.8x18 right now with about 40k on them. They still have about 30% or so left on them. I'm going to get new wheels in the spring and go to a 37. I just found a deal on 37x12.5x17 for a set of 5 for $900. I think I would be stupid not to buy them.
Does anyone know if there was a certain batch or date stamp to stay away from? I have read some bad reviews too, but the tires I currently have have been great.
