Farroad FRD26 – 235/35ZR19 91W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 235/35ZR19 91W XL is an Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre designed for compact sports cars, hot hatches, and performance coupes (such as the VW Golf R, Audi S3, Honda Civic Type R, and Ford Focus RS). Featuring a very low profile and aggressive tread design, this tyre is built for drivers who demand sharp handling, sporty aesthetics, and high-speed stability.

Key Features:

• Sporty Dynamics: The ultra-low 35-series sidewall virtually eliminates tyre flex during hard cornering, providing immediate steering response and a direct, connected feel to the road.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to withstand the intense heat and centrifugal forces of high-speed driving, ensuring safety on the motorway or track day.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 91 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 615kg per tyre. The stiffer sidewall construction is crucial for maintaining rim protection and stability under dynamic loads.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The pattern uses large, rigid outer shoulder blocks to maximize rubber contact for dry cornering grip, while the inner zone is optimized to clear water quickly.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning—a vital safety feature for wide, lightweight performance cars in the rain.

• Quiet Comfort: Despite its aggressive performance focus, the tread blocks use a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise frequency, keeping cabin roar to a reasonable level for daily driving.
