Farroad FRD26 – 275/40ZR20 106W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 275/40ZR20 106W XL is a high-performance tyre designed for the premium SUV and luxury sport market (such as the Range Rover Sport, BMW X5/X6, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg). This tyre combines the aggressive grip and handling of a sports car tyre with the heavy-duty load capacity required by large, powerful 4x4s, ensuring a driving experience that is both dynamic and secure.

Key Features:

• High Load Capacity: With a robust 106 load index, this Extra Load (XL) tyre is capable of supporting up to 950kg per tyre. This provides the essential structural strength needed to handle the substantial weight of luxury SUVs, even when fully loaded or cornering hard.

• Sporty SUV Handling: The low-profile 40-series sidewall on a large 20-inch rim minimizes tyre flex, offering sharper steering response and significantly less body roll compared to standard touring tyres.

• Maximum Grip: The wide 275mm tread width creates a massive contact patch with the road, delivering exceptional traction for acceleration and high levels of lateral grip for confident cornering.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of high-speed motorway driving, ensuring stability and safety for high-horsepower vehicles.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently evacuate water from the wide footprint, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning—a critical safety feature for wide tyres on heavy vehicles in the rain.

• Quiet & Refined: The tread blocks utilize a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise frequency, ensuring a quiet and comfortable cabin environment that complements the refinement of luxury SUVs.
