Farroad FRD26 – 215/55ZR17 98W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 215/55ZR17 98W XL is a versatile high-performance tyre designed for modern mid-sized sedans, large hatchbacks, and compact crossovers (such as the Toyota Camry, VW Passat, Nissan Juke, and Honda HR-V). This tyre bridges the gap between sportiness and comfort, offering the high-speed capability of a UHP tyre with the impact absorption of a slightly taller sidewall, all reinforced for heavier loads.

Key Features:

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a high 98 load index, this reinforced tyre is capable of supporting up to 750kg per tyre, making it ideal for heavier family cars and crossovers carrying passengers and luggage.

• High-Speed Stability: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to maintain structural integrity and precise control at highway speeds, offering a safe and confident driving experience.

• Ride Comfort: The 55-series sidewall profile provides a layer of cushioning against road imperfections, ensuring a smooth and compliant ride without sacrificing handling precision.

• Asymmetric Tread Pattern: The tread design features stiff outer blocks for cornering grip and an inner zone optimised for water evacuation, ensuring balanced performance in both wet and dry conditions.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently channel water away from the contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring strong braking performance in the rain.

• Quiet Operation: The tread blocks are arranged in a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise generation, resulting in a quiet cabin environment suitable for long-distance cruising.
