Saw these and had to get a picture. They’re Federal Xploras. And they look nuts.

I’m sure those tires are SUPER QUIET too.

I kinda like them, curious how quiet they are on road and how they perform in mud/gravel.
E dit:
I no longer want them.

I dont care about road noise or even how usable they are, they are amazing. Its 2020 tires a ught to look cool by now, bonus point because they are probably affordable

I picture them being about as quiet as studded tires on asphalt.

Big chunky treads, I imagine they’re horrible in the rain.

That is the most I have ever cringed while reading a product description.

This only makes it worse

Apparently their V pattern is specifically designed to be quite, and look cool. Rather than actually be good on low traction surfaces.

I can’t remember what it was but I do recall someone posted some truck/Jeep accessory that was even more abhorrent. This is bad though.

Profile actually looks pretty smooth, they might be better than you’d expect considering the huge grooves.

But how will my swag pickup tuning self get the attention I crave without 75 dB of tread drone?
I don’t need more traction, I have a 4x4 bro!

Between this and the “Made for America with Patriot Pride” stickers I do have to give Federal’s marketing department an A for effort.

interesting - they look like something that would be on a concept car

This is a Fairpoint anyone who’s heard the sound of 4 super swampers going by at 65 mph will never forget it

I bet they hummmm something awful .

I would dig it if the tread didn't extend onto the sidewall.
![]() 03/06/2020 at 17:13 |

I *think* I might have seen them on a 4x4 recently. Notice the “tread” wrapping around most of the sidewall. It looked really really weird because of that. And yeah it was noisy but didn’t seem as bad as the clowns on mudders doing 65 on the highway but that’s probably because it was a 30 zone.
Now imagine what vehicle these were on and your first guess is correct (lifted customized new black Rubicon that was spotless - JK or JL)

It would be interesting to see what percentage of owners actually thought their tires were manufactured in the US....

Arent they the people who make tires "for America with Patriot pride" in foreign countries?

I think what you mean is this was the first time you’ve seen this hypelord BS in person on the streets in the Midwest. This looks like every tire I’ve seen on every corpo extreme advertising truck (as seen on the pages of Jalopnik) for many years going.
They look hilariously out of place without ZOMG wheels on a truck clearly built around a terrain civilization has completed the transformation into a waterless lifeless methy wasteland into, ie CA/NV/UT/and soon CO.

Are they a tie-in for a Dora the Xplora movie?
(That is such a pet peeve of mine. “ Dora” and “ explorer” do not rhyme unless you’re a J ets fan from Long Island).

I bet they don't eject anything and just turn to slicks when muddy.

I wanted American made tires, so I purchased from a red blooded Patriot brand...Toyo.
