Farroad FRD866 – 225/55RF19 99V XL RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 225/55RF19 99V XL is a high-performance All Season or Summer tyre that features Run-Flat Technology (RFT). This size is commonly used on premium mid-sized SUVs and Crossovers (such as the Mazda CX-5, Nissan X-Trail, and Ford Kuga) where Run-Flat tyres are sometimes factory equipment. It provides a strong load capacity and the added safety of extended mobility after a puncture.

Key Features:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): The RF in the size code confirms its Run-Flat capability. This system uses reinforced sidewalls to allow the tyre to maintain its form and support the vehicle’s weight after a puncture. This enables the driver to continue driving at a reduced speed (typically up to 50 mph / 80 km/h) for a limited distance.

• High Load Capacity (XL): With a 99 load index, this Extra Load tyre supports up to 775kg per tyre. This strong construction is vital for safely managing the weight of modern, fully equipped SUVs and Crossovers.

• Controlled High-Speed Capability: Rated V (up to 149 mph / 240 km/h), the tyre is built with robust internal components to ensure structural integrity and stable handling during high-speed highway cruising.

• Crossover Performance: The 55-series profile provides a good balance between responsive handling (minimising flex) and ride comfort, which is ideal for the dynamics of an SUV.

• All-Weather Traction: The asymmetric tread design and all-season compound (often classified this way) are engineered to enhance grip in dry, wet, and mild winter conditions.

• Wet Weather Safety: Wide circumferential grooves efficiently disperse water and slush from the tyre’s footprint, actively resisting hydroplaning for safer performance in rain.
