Farroad FRD26 – 235/55ZR18 104W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD26 in 235/55ZR18 104W XL is a performance-oriented tyre designed for mid-sized SUVs, crossovers, and large MPVs (such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi Q3, Ford Kuga, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4). This tyre bridges the gap between rugged utility and sporting performance, offering the load capacity needed for family haulers with the speed rating and handling characteristics of a performance sedan tyre.

Key Features:

• High Load Capacity: With an impressive 104 load index, this Extra Load (XL) tyre is reinforced to support up to 900kg per tyre, making it an ideal choice for heavier SUVs or vehicles that are frequently fully loaded with passengers and cargo.

• High-Speed Stability: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is engineered to maintain structural integrity and precise control at highway speeds, offering a significant safety margin over standard H or V-rated SUV tyres.

• Sporty Handling: The asymmetric tread pattern features stiff outer shoulder blocks that improve cornering stability and steering response, giving taller vehicles a more planted and car-like feel on the road.

• Ride Comfort: The 55-series sidewall profile acts as an effective shock absorber, smoothing out potholes and road imperfections to ensure a comfortable ride for daily commuting.

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

• Quiet Operation: The tread blocks utilize a variable pitch sequence to disrupt noise generation, keeping road roar to a minimum and ensuring a refined cabin environment.
