Farroad FRD16 – 165/80R13 83T

Description: The Farroad FRD16 in 165/80R13 is a durable and practical tyre designed for older saloons and small estate cars. It features an increased load index of 83 compared to standard tyres in this size (which are typically 79), making it capable of carrying heavier loads with greater stability. The tall “80 series” profile ensures exceptional ride comfort, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious drivers prioritising a smooth daily drive and longevity.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Load Capacity: The 83 load index enables the tyre to support up to 487kg, providing extra structural strength and safety for loaded vehicles compared to standard fitments.

• Superior Comfort: The tall sidewall profile acts as a significant shock absorber, smoothing out potholes and rough road surfaces to deliver a compliant and cushioned ride.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch, minimising the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring reliable braking performance in the rain.

• Quiet Operation: The tread design incorporates a closed shoulder pattern and variable pitch blocks to block road noise, ensuring a quiet cabin environment.

• Fuel Efficiency: Engineered with a low rolling resistance compound, this tyre helps reduce fuel consumption, offering long-term savings for daily commuters.

• Straight-Line Stability: A continuous solid centre rib improves steering response and helps the vehicle track straight, providing confidence at highway speeds.
