Farroad FRD16 – 185/55R16 83V

Description: The Farroad FRD16 in 185/55R16 is a high-performance tyre designed for modern superminis and compact hatchbacks (such as the Honda Jazz, Suzuki Swift, and Mazda 2). With its V speed rating, this tyre is engineered to handle higher speeds with ease, offering superior stability and handling responsiveness compared to standard touring tyres, all while maintaining a quiet and comfortable ride.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Stability: Rated V (up to 149 mph / 240 km/h), this tyre ensures excellent structural integrity and precise control during motorway driving.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves work efficiently to evacuate water from the contact patch, minimising the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring strong braking performance in the rain.

• Quiet Driving: The tread design incorporates a closed shoulder pattern and variable pitch blocks to block road noise, resulting in a significantly quieter cabin environment.

• Responsive Steering: A continuous solid centre rib improves straight-line tracking and steering feedback, providing a stable and connected feel.

• Fuel Efficiency: Engineered with a low rolling resistance compound, this tyre helps reduce energy loss, contributing to better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
