Farroad EXTRA FRD88 – 255/45ZR19 104W XL

Description: The Farroad EXTRA FRD88 in 255/45ZR19 104W XL is an Ultra-High Performance (UHP) Summer tyre, sometimes marketed as a High-Performance All-Season in some regions (often carrying an M+S mark). This size is a common fitment for luxury saloons, high-end coupes, and performance crossovers (such as the Audi A6/A7, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and performance SUVs with large wheels). It is engineered for a blend of high-speed stability, precise handling, and enhanced load-carrying capability.

Key Features:

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a high 104 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 900kg per tyre. The XL structure is vital for safely handling the weight and dynamic forces of modern, powerful, and heavy executive vehicles.

• 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 sustained high motorway speeds. The Z confirms its high-speed engineering.

• Performance Handling: The wide 255mm tread and the low 45-series sidewall deliver a large, responsive contact patch. This design minimises tyre deflection, resulting in quick, precise steering response and excellent driver feedback during aggressive driving.

• Optimized Summer Traction: The tread design and durable compound are optimized for dry and wet summer weather traction. The compound maintains rubber flexibility and actively prevents heat build-up, while the tread firmly grips the road surface.

• Hydroplaning Resistance: Wide circumferential grooves actively prevent hydroplaning by efficiently dispersing water from the footprint, optimizing wet weather performance.

• Driving Comfort: The tread design is engineered to channel airwaves and minimize road noise, contributing to a quieter and more refined cabin environment for better driving comfort.
