Federal Couragia tires?

Anyone have experience with these? I'm thinking about putting them on the Super Duty but have no experience running them.

I never heard of them, I just replaced my tires on my diesel truck and checked around a lot...never saw anyone running them.

They are a cheap knock off brand. I know a guy who sells them and uses to share shop space with him. They are loud, wear out quickly, hard to balance, and just generally a cheap tire. I would stay away. Personally I've played the cheap tire game and won't do it any more. Ran a set of hankook dyna pros and thought they were fine.....till I put a set of Michelin's on and realized how crappy the hankook really were. Personally I'd stick with Michelin, Goodyear, toyo, bfgoodrich. I also ran a set of Yokohama's on my dads plow Truck.... Not impressed

I agree with you on Coopers! I ran the Discoverer AT/3 on my crewcab duramax in snow and they were awesome. They sell them with a 50k treadwear warranty now. Worth every penny imo. My new truck has an off brand tire & I hate it, but they are new so I'll wear em out and put more coopers on.
