Farroad FRD26 – 215/50ZR17 95W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 215/50ZR17 95W XL is a high-performance tyre designed for compact executive cars, sporty hatchbacks, and sedans (such as the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Mazda 3, and Vauxhall Astra). This Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre features an Extra Load (XL) rating and a W speed rating, making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking enhanced handling response and stability at highway speeds.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered for dynamic driving, ensuring stability and precise control at higher speeds.

• Asymmetric Tread Pattern: The tread design is split into two zones: the outer shoulder is stiffened for maximum cornering grip, while the inner zone is optimized for water dispersal, providing balanced performance in all conditions.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 95 load index, this reinforced tyre can support up to 690kg per tyre, offering greater sidewall rigidity which translates to sharper steering response and better support for heavier modern vehicles.

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

• Steering Precision: A continuous solid centre rib enhances straight-line stability and provides immediate feedback to the steering wheel, giving the driver a connected feel to the road.

• Quiet Comfort: The tread blocks utilize a noise-dampening pitch sequence to minimize road roar, ensuring a comfortable and quiet driving experience on the motorway.
