Farroad FRD866 – 225/50ZRF17 94W XL RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 225/50ZRF17 94W XL is a high-performance All Season tyre that includes Run-Flat Technology (RFT). This specific size is a very common fitment for mid-sized luxury saloons and estates (such as the BMW 3-Series) that require Run-Flat tyres as factory equipment. It provides high-speed capability, excellent load capacity, and the critical benefit of extended mobility after a puncture.

Key Features:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): The ZRF in the size code signifies its Run-Flat capability. This means the tyre has reinforced sidewalls that allow it to support the vehicle’s weight and continue driving at a reduced speed (typically up to 50 mph / 80 km/h) for a limited distance after a total loss of air pressure.

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

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 94 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 670kg per tyre. The Extra Load construction provides greater structural strength, which is vital for handling the weight of modern, fully equipped vehicles.

• All-Season Traction: The asymmetric tread design and all-season compound enhance grip in dry, wet, and light winter conditions, making it a reliable choice for year-round use.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by efficiently dispersing water and slush from the tyre’s footprint, promoting safer performance in heavy rain.

• Quiet and Comfortable: The optimised tread pattern and closed outer shoulder design work to reduce road and pattern noise, providing a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.
