Farroad FRD26 – 225/50ZR18 99W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 225/50ZR18 99W XL is a versatile high-performance tyre designed for compact SUVs, crossovers, and sportier sedans (such as the BMW X1, Nissan Qashqai, Honda HR-V, and Mini Countryman). This tyre strikes an excellent balance between the sharp handling required for modern driving and the ride comfort necessary for family use, all reinforced to handle higher vehicle weights.

Key Features:

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 99 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 775kg per tyre, providing the essential structural strength needed for modern crossovers that often carry heavier loads than standard hatchbacks.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to deliver stability and safety at highway speeds, ensuring the vehicle feels planted and secure during overtaking or motorway cruising.

• Balanced Comfort & Handling: The 50-series profile offers a “sweet spot” in performance—low enough to provide responsive steering and reduced body roll, yet tall enough to absorb road bumps for a comfortable ride.

• 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 dry cornering grip, while the inner zone is designed to clear water quickly, offering versatile all-season traction.

• Quiet Cabin: The tread blocks utilize a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise frequency, minimizing road roar and ensuring a refined driving environment.
