Federal semi slick tyres - anyone used them?

Looking to replace my tyres this summer and noticed these Federal tyres on the Camskill website. They certainly look the part for semi-slick track day type tyres and seem to be very well priced against Yoko A048R and Toyo R888 tyres.

Anyone have any experience with them?

I've not seen them mentioned on here before.

No experience with the semi-slicks but we fit the "normal" Federals at work and they always seem good quality. Never need much balencing which is usually a good sign.

I've heard they are not imported into the Uk officially buy Federal at the moment so Camskill must be bringing them in them selves.Therfore not uk stamped if you are bothered about that..

Does that make them illegal for public road use?

Might make an insurance company try to pull a fast one after a bump unless you get them to write it on the policy. Even if it is ok.
