Farroad FRD866 – 255/40ZRF18 95W RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 255/40ZRF18 95W is a high-performance Summer tyre that includes Run-Flat Technology (RFT). This wide, low-profile size is commonly fitted to executive sports cars (such as the BMW 3 and 4 Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Audi A4/A5) that require Run-Flat tyres as Original Equipment. It delivers sharp performance handling combined with the essential safety and convenience of extended mobility after a puncture.

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 support 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 robust components to ensure stable, safe, and precise handling at high motorway speeds. The Z confirms its high-speed engineering.

• Performance Handling: The wide 255mm tread and the low 40-series sidewall minimise tyre deflection, providing quick and precise steering response, which is crucial for a sporty, connected driving feel.

• Standard Load Capacity: With a 95 load index, this tyre supports up to 690kg per tyre, meeting the requirements for most mid-sized performance vehicles.

• 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 need for a roadside tyre change, which is a significant safety benefit, especially on busy highways.
