This is a newish Korean tyre available in 215/45ZR17 and 215/45ZR18.
The 18s are available for about $250 each.
Does anyone have any experience with these?

As an aside, for that price, you may as well get the Hankook Ventus V12 K110. It's designed as a mid-highend performance/road tyre.
I'm getting the K110 in 225/40/18 for $250 a tyre as well. :P

They are from Taiwan, not Korea.

Federal make some decent tyres, the FD2 is not one of them.

These were on my car when I bought it, to be honest I am very impressed with them. They grip well in the dry and the wet and are quite on the road..

"Were" ?
So did you find something better, or wear them out? :)

I wouldn't bother, I got Pirelli's for not much more than that... proven tyre... although I don't think they have as much mid corner grip as the Bridgestones.
