Joyroad Sport RX6 – 235/50ZR18 101W XL

Description: The Joyroad Sport RX6 in 235/50ZR18 101W XL is a High-Performance (HP) All-Season/Summer tyre designed for mid-sized luxury sedans, larger performance coupes, and compact/mid-sized Crossovers (CUVs). This size is a common fitment for vehicles like the Lexus ES, Toyota Camry (higher trims), and Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLC. It is engineered to provide a balance of sporty handling, robust load capacity, and year-round usability.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: The 101 load index and the XL (Extra Load) designation mean this tyre has a reinforced construction, safely supporting up to 825 kg (1819 lbs) per tyre. This reinforcement is essential for minimizing tyre flex and maintaining stability on heavier, high-performance vehicles.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this is a very high speed rating that firmly places the tyre in the High-Performance category, ensuring stable and reliable performance at sustained high speeds. The ZR in the size code confirms its reinforced structure for high-speed use.

• Performance Profile: The 235mm tread width combined with the mid-height 50-series sidewall provides a large, effective contact patch for superior dry grip and responsive steering.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The pattern is engineered for optimal performance across the tread face:

  • Dry Handling: Features a rigid, large-block outer shoulder designed to maximize stability and grip during aggressive cornering.

  • Wet Grip: The inner tread utilizes wide circumferential grooves and spiral sipes to rapidly evacuate water and slush, significantly enhancing hydroplaning resistance and wet braking performance.

• All-Season Versatility: The compound and siping are generally formulated to provide reliable traction in a range of conditions, often carrying the M+S (Mud and Snow) marking for year-round use in mild climates.

• Comfort Focus: The design aims to minimize road and pattern noise through optimized block sequencing, contributing to a quieter driving experience expected in a luxury/performance application.
