Farroad FRD26 – 215/45ZR17 91W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 215/45ZR17 91W XL is an extremely popular and versatile Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre size, commonly found on mid-sized hatchbacks, compact sports sedans, and coupes (such as the Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ, Mazda 3, Honda Civic, and Volkswagen Golf). This tyre offers an excellent balance of sporty handling and ride comfort, combined with the extra durability of a reinforced structure.

Key Features:

• Sporty Handling: The 45-series sidewall and wide 215mm tread provide a responsive steering feel by minimizing tyre flex during cornering, making the vehicle feel agile and connected to the road.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 91 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 615kg per tyre. This added structural strength is crucial for stability, handling dynamic loads, and offering better resistance to road impacts and pothole damage.

• 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 highway cruising, ensuring consistent performance and safety margins.

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

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The pattern features stiff outer shoulder blocks for maximum dry cornering grip, while the inner tread zone is optimized for water clearance, ensuring versatile all-weather performance.

• Quiet & Refined: The tread blocks utilize a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise frequency, helping to keep road roar to a minimum and maintain a comfortable cabin environment.
