Farroad FRD26 – 205/50ZR17 93W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 205/50ZR17 93W XL is a dynamic Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre designed for sporty hatchbacks and compact executive cars (such as the BMW 1 Series, Volvo V40, Mazda 3, and Ford Focus). With a low-profile design and reinforced construction, this tyre offers sharper handling and improved cornering stability compared to standard touring tyres, making it an excellent choice for enthusiastic drivers.

Key Features:

• Sporty Dynamics: The low-profile 50-series sidewall reduces flex during cornering, providing sharper steering response and a more connected feel to the road, ideal for spirited driving.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 93 load index, this reinforced tyre can support up to 650kg per tyre. The stronger sidewalls offer better support for modern, heavier hatchbacks and increase resistance to impact damage.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to handle the heat and stress of high speeds, ensuring consistent performance and safety on the motorway.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The pattern features robust outer shoulder blocks for maximum dry grip during cornering, while the inner zone is designed to clear water, offering balanced all-weather performance.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring reliable braking in wet conditions.

• Quiet & Refined: Despite its performance focus, the tread blocks use a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise frequency, keeping cabin noise low for a comfortable daily commute.
