Farroad FRD866 – 245/50ZRF18 100W XL RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 245/50ZRF18 100W XL is a high-performance All Season/Summer tyre that incorporates Run-Flat Technology (RFT). This size is commonly fitted to luxury executive saloons, larger coupes, and high-trim crossovers (such as the BMW 7 Series, Porsche Panamera, or BMW X3/X4) where RFT capability is required. It delivers a superior balance of high-speed stability, heavy load capacity, and puncture safety.

Key Features:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): The ZRF in the size code confirms its Run-Flat capability. This system uses highly reinforced sidewalls to allow the tyre to continue supporting the vehicle’s weight and permit safe driving at a reduced speed (typically up to 50 mph / 80 km/h) for a limited distance after a total loss of air pressure.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is built with strong, heat-resistant components to ensure stable, safe, and precise handling during high-speed highway cruising. The Z confirms its high-speed engineering.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 100 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 800kg per tyre. This strong construction is essential for handling the weight of large, powerful executive and luxury vehicles.

• Performance and Comfort Balance: The 50-series profile provides good cornering stability and steering responsiveness while retaining sufficient sidewall height to absorb road imperfections, ensuring a comfortable ride for a performance tyre.

• Wet Weather Safety: Wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by efficiently dispersing water from the wide tyre footprint, promoting safer performance in heavy rain.

• Convenience: Eliminates the urgent and often hazardous need for a roadside tyre change, enhancing driver safety and peace of mind.
