Farroad FRD16 – 165/70R13 79H

Description: The Farroad FRD16 in 165/70R13 is a durable and economical passenger tyre designed for compact city cars and older hatchbacks. Unlike many tyres in this smaller size which carry a standard ‘T’ rating, this specific model features an H speed rating, offering a higher safety margin and enhanced stability at highway speeds. It is an ideal choice for drivers seeking reliable daily performance, fuel efficiency, and a quiet ride on a budget.

Key Features:

• Quiet Comfort: The tread utilises a specialised closed shoulder design that effectively blocks road noise and airwaves, ensuring a quieter and smoother cabin environment.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves work in conjunction with lateral sipes to rapidly evacuate water from the contact patch, reducing aquaplaning risks and improving wet braking.

• Fuel Efficiency: Engineered with a silica-infused low rolling resistance compound, this tyre reduces energy loss, helping to improve fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.

• High-Speed Stability: The continuous solid centre rib provides excellent straight-line tracking and steering response, while the H speed rating ensures structural integrity up to 130 mph (210 km/h).

• Heat Dissipation: The shoulder blocks are designed to dissipate heat effectively, preventing tyre fatigue and ensuring consistent performance during longer journeys.
