Farroad FRD26 – 235/50ZR18 101W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 235/50ZR18 101W XL is an Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre designed for luxury sedans, sports coupes, and high-performance compact SUVs (such as the Audi Q3, Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Kuga, and Ford Mustang). This tyre bridges the gap between sports performance and touring comfort, utilizing an asymmetric tread design to deliver exceptional grip and stability while supporting the weight of heavier modern vehicles.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Stability: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to withstand the dynamic forces of high-speed driving, ensuring precise steering control and structural integrity on the motorway.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a robust 101 load index, this reinforced tyre can support up to 825kg per tyre, making it ideal for heavier luxury cars and SUVs that require greater sidewall rigidity for stable cornering.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The advanced tread pattern features stiff outer shoulder blocks for maximum cornering grip, while the inner zone is optimised for rapid water evacuation, providing balanced performance in all weather conditions.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently channel water away from the contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring strong braking performance in the rain.

• Precise Steering: A continuous solid centre rib enhances straight-line stability and provides immediate feedback to the steering wheel, giving the driver a connected and confident feel.

• Quiet & Refined: The tread blocks utilise a variable pitch sequence that disrupts airflow and noise generation, ensuring a quiet cabin environment—essential for luxury touring comfort.
