Farroad FRD866 – 255/40ZRF18 95W XL RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 255/40ZRF18 95W XL is a high-performance Summer tyre that incorporates Run-Flat Technology (RFT). This wide, low-profile size is commonly fitted to powerful executive sports cars and saloons (such as the BMW 3/4 Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Audi A4/A5) that require both Run-Flat capability and an Extra Load structure as factory equipment. It combines razor-sharp performance with essential 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 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 strong, heat-resistant components to ensure stable, safe, and precise handling at high motorway speeds. The Z confirms its high-speed engineering.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 95 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 690kg per tyre. The XL structure is vital for safely handling the weight and dynamic forces of powerful, fully equipped saloons.

• 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.

• 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.
