Farroad FRD26 – 245/45ZR18 100W XL

The Farroad FRD26 in 245/45ZR18 100W XL is an Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre designed for executive sedans, sports cars, and powerful coupes (such as the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Jaguar XF, and Mercedes E-Class). Featuring an asymmetric tread pattern and a W speed rating, this tyre is engineered to deliver superior grip, sharp handling, and stability at high speeds, offering a sporty driving experience without breaking the bank.

Key Features:

• Ultra-High Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h) and designated ZR, this tyre is constructed to withstand high thermal stresses, ensuring consistent performance and structural integrity during spirited driving.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The tread features large, stiff blocks on the outer shoulder for enhanced cornering grip, while the inner tread is optimised for water evacuation, providing a perfect balance of wet and dry handling.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 100 load index, this tyre is reinforced to support up to 800kg per tyre, making it suitable for heavier modern executive cars and ensuring rigid sidewall stability under load.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves rapidly channel water away from the contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring short braking distances on wet roads.

• Quiet & Refined: Despite its sporty nature, the tread blocks are pitch-optimised to reduce harmonic noise, ensuring a quiet cabin environment suitable for luxury vehicles.

• Precise Steering: A continuous solid centre rib ensures immediate steering response and excellent straight-line tracking, giving the driver a connected and confident feel.
