Federal Formoza AZ01 205/55 15 rear tire ?

[rsbargiel]

Has anyone used a Federal Formoza AZ01 205/55 15 as a rear tire ?
I hear a lot of good things about using the Federals as front tires,
maybe it would work just as good for the rear. The tire is the same
diameter just 20MM narrower .
Thanks

Ann, Matching tread patterns except for Racing applications are meaningless...... Mike :thumbup:

It does have a V rating and is also available in the 205/60R15 which would make you speed closer to what a GPS would show. I do not see any reason why it would not work.

It seems that the most "popular" 205/55R15 is the Yokohama S Drive. It's a UHP Summer Tire. Some have reported mileage in the 18-20,000 range. Others have gotten about half that. Don't know if longevity has to do with inflation pressure????
