Quick Conclusion
Michelin and Federal have their strengths as manufacturers. Both produce some of the most well reviewed tyres in the world with Michelin naturally having a slight edge due to its brand heritage, longer track record, and the genius innovations they have come up with through the years.

Federal, however, is committed to maintaining the durability of its tyres and adapting the tech developed in their motorsport programs to the production of their regular consumer tyres line.
