I have a, ummm, tire question. I have a 2016 RT Limited and am replacing my 2 front tires. - I've read here in the forum about the Federal Formoza FD2. I can't find a stock size (165/55/15) for this particular tire. My question before I buy, will the 165/50/15 be sufficient or can I go to a different size. Seems like the Federal Formoza FD2 is limited in the sizes on a 15 inch wheel.

Thanks in advance for not beating me up too bad on a repeat subject. :pray:

Blueknight911, any reviews on this tires? How do they handle in the curves and in rain? Mileage on a Spyder?
They sound like a great tire, I just had not heard anything about them.

I am running 175/55R15 Federal Formoza AZ01 on the front and like them a lot. I think the FD2 has an updated tread pattern. Only have about 5K miles on them so not enough to even show any wear......

I have the Federal Formoza AZ01 in stock size. They handle very well. Good traction dry or wet. I've got over 5,000 miles on them and no sign of wear.
