Farroad FRD26 – 235/55ZR17 103W XL

Farroad FRD26 in 235/55ZR17 103W XL is a performance touring tyre designed for large sedans, crossovers, and the family MPV market (such as the Ford Galaxy, Vauxhall Zafira, and certain executive cars like the Audi A6). This tyre is engineered to handle substantial loads and vehicle weight, combining the structural strength of a utility tyre with the high-speed capability and handling of a performance tyre.

Key Features:

• Maximum Load Capacity: With an exceptionally high 103 load index, this Extra Load (XL) tyre supports up to 875kg per tyre. This robust construction is essential for ensuring stability and durability in heavy passenger vehicles.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), the tyre is built with strong internal components to maintain structural integrity and precise control during sustained high-speed highway driving.

• Superior Ride Comfort: The 55-series profile provides a significant air cushion, effectively absorbing road shocks and imperfections to deliver a smooth, quiet, and comfortable touring ride, which is ideal for family vehicles.

• Wet Weather Safety: Four wide longitudinal grooves efficiently evacuate water from the wide 235mm contact patch, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring reliable braking performance in heavy rain.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The pattern features stiff outer shoulder blocks for stability during cornering, while the inner zone is optimized for water clearance, providing versatile all-weather performance.

• Quiet Operation: The tread blocks utilize a variable pitch sequence and a closed shoulder design to disrupt noise frequency, minimizing road roar for a peaceful cabin environment.
