Product Name: Farroad FRD26 – 255/35ZR18 94Y XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 255/35ZR18 94Y XL is a serious Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre designed for high-powered sports cars, executive sedans, and coupes (such as the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class/E-Class, Audi A4/A5, and Nissan 350Z). Often used as the wider rear tyre in a staggered fitment, this model features a top-tier Y speed rating, ensuring it can handle extreme speeds and aggressive driving dynamics with confidence.

Key Features:

• Maximum Speed Performance: Rated Y (up to 186 mph / 300 km/h), this tyre is engineered for the highest level of highway performance, capable of withstanding the extreme heat and stress of sustained high speeds.

• Superior Grip & Traction: The wide 255mm contact patch maximizes rubber-to-road contact, delivering exceptional acceleration traction and cornering grip—ideal for powerful rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

• Sharp Handling: The ultra-low 35-series profile minimizes sidewall flex to near-zero levels, providing razor-sharp steering response and immediate feedback to the driver.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 94 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 670kg per tyre, providing the sidewall stiffness necessary to maintain stability under heavy cornering loads.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The pattern features robust outer shoulder blocks for dry cornering stability, while the inner zone is specifically designed to evacuate water, ensuring safety in variable conditions.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently channel water away from the wide footprint, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning—a critical safety feature for wide tyres.
