Hello, I know it's a can of worms but has anyone got any feedback on Federal xplora RT tyres? I'm not really concerned about life span as I'll be lucky to do more than 2000km a year. Wondering how they'll grip in the wetter stuff down here. Looking at 285/75 R16. It's a toss up between cheaper new tyres or a more expensive brand, but second hand.

Hey mate, My Federal experience a many of moons ago was an awesome tyre and did its job but longevity was terrible.Quote:

I´d always go cheaper tire and never second hand brand tire. I did this once some 20 years ago and regretted it as soon as I realized I had just paid money for someone's junk. It's not like getting used wheels or a used bar or winch...
Unless it is from you buddy that drove 1000kms with the set and decided to go 35's, so you would be basically getting spanking new tires for half the price, I would trust no one on this.
And with regards to tire wearing faster on the cheaper ones, I myself drive as little as you mention and found that this wear corresponds to the tire compound being softer. To me, another plus, as it makes them more comfortable and silent. At the end, I will be replacing them not for wear anyway, but rather for age, and the same would happen with a double the price brand name tire (in my case).
(Before getting flamed, it is worth mentioning that cheaper tire doesn't mean POS tire. I read reviews, compare homologation tests, etc., before picking one.)
After continued looking, it seems the second hand market is desolate wasteland here and I think new is the best way to go. Now starting to talk myself towards the federal couragias now....

Just to add in another important factor to please always consider Legends [emoji120][emoji123][emoji3590][emoji3590]
Genuine weight ratings of any expensive and or cheaper tyre variants.
Some of our touring/heavy Outback Trols 4 corners may need more (above & beyond) any specific preferred tred/brand/longevity patterns or offroad capability ratings [emoji120]

At least down on that beautiful Island you won’t have to worry about tyre variants ‘speed ratings’ , too many Victorian caravans keeping ya’ll at bay under 55 mph [emoji23][emoji23]

While off-roading is my main thrill, I’ve also been enjoying the occasional spin on Hellspins. It’s perfect for those nights when you’re not on the trail but still crave some action. The games are fast-paced and keep you engaged, just like hitting the dirt roads. If anyone else here is into a mix of adventure and gaming, give it a look. It’s surprisingly entertaining and a good way to unwind after a day out in the wild!
These tires are great. Smooth ride and minimal noise for such aggressive tread
