Farroad FRD866 – 225/45ZRF18 91W RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 225/45ZRF18 91W is a high-performance Summer tyre that incorporates Run-Flat Technology (RFT). It is primarily designed for modern sports saloons and coupes that require a Run-Flat fitting from the factory (such as various BMW and Mercedes models). The tyre combines the assurance of extended mobility after a puncture with the sharp handling of a performance tyre.

Key Features:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): The ZRF in the size code indicates Run-Flat capability. This system uses reinforced sidewalls to allow the tyre to continue supporting the vehicle’s weight even after a total loss of air pressure. This means you can drive on safely at a reduced speed (typically up to 50 mph) for a limited distance.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is built with strong structural integrity to ensure safety and stable handling at high motorway speeds.

• Performance Handling: The low 45-series sidewall minimises tyre flex during cornering, offering quick, precise steering response and excellent driver feedback, which is essential for a sporty driving experience.

• Standard Load Capacity: With a 91 load index, this tyre supports up to 615kg per tyre, meeting the requirements for the majority of compact and mid-sized performance cars.

• Summer Tread Design: The asymmetric tread pattern is optimised for maximum dry grip and braking performance. It also features wide circumferential grooves to efficiently evacuate water, improving safety in the wet.

• Convenience: Eliminates the urgent need for a roadside tyre change, and allows manufacturers to exclude a spare tyre, which saves vehicle weight and increases boot space.
