Farroad FRD26 – 205/55ZR17 95W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 205/55ZR17 95W XL is a performance-oriented tyre designed for modern compact MPVs, crossovers, and hatchbacks (such as the Mini Countryman, Renault Captur, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, and Citroën C4 Picasso). Combining an Extra Load (XL) rating with a high W speed rating, this Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre offers a significant upgrade in stability and handling precision for family vehicles that require both safety and responsiveness.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to maintain exceptional stability and control even at high motorway speeds, offering a margin of safety well above standard touring tyres.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The advanced tread pattern features large outer blocks for enhanced cornering grip and an inner zone optimised for water dispersal, ensuring balanced performance in both dry and wet conditions.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 95 load index, this reinforced tyre is capable of supporting up to 690kg per tyre, providing the necessary structural strength for heavier modern crossovers and MPVs carrying passengers and luggage.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves rapidly evacuate water from the contact patch, minimising the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring reliable braking distances on rain-soaked roads.

• Precise Handling: A continuous solid centre rib provides excellent straight-line tracking and immediate steering response, giving the driver a connected and confident feel on winding roads.

• Quiet & Comfortable: The tread blocks are arranged in a variable pitch sequence to disrupt airflow and reduce road noise, ensuring a quiet and refined cabin environment for daily driving.
