Farroad FRD868 SRT – 245/40R19 98Y RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD868 SRT in 245/40R19 98Y RUNFLAT is a highly specified Ultra-High Performance (UHP) Summer Run-Flat tyre. This size is typically used on high-performance executive saloons and coupes (like the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Audi A6/A7) that require run-flat technology and an emphasis on dynamic driving.

The SRT designation likely stands for a specific sub-version or line of the FRD868 pattern optimized for “Street and Racing Technology,” suggesting an enhanced focus on performance characteristics compared to the standard model.

Key Features and Technology:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): This is the core safety feature. The reinforced sidewall allows the vehicle to be driven safely for a limited distance (typically up to 50 miles or 80 km at a maximum speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h) after a complete loss of air pressure.

• Ultimate Speed Rating (Y): Rated Y (up to 186 mph / 300 km/h), this is the highest speed rating for a street-legal tyre. This confirms its design for extreme high-speed stability and performance.

• High Load Capacity (98): The 98 load index supports up to 750kg (1653 lbs) per tyre. While the XL (Extra Load) marking is often associated with this size (though not explicitly listed in your string, a 98 load index is commonly XL for this size), the run-flat structure already provides a high degree of rigidity and load support.

• UHP Handling Profile: The wide 245mm tread and the very low 40-series sidewall minimize tyre flex, providing exceptional stability, razor-sharp steering response, and superior control during high-speed cornering.

• Performance Tread (SRT): The FRD868 tread pattern is an asymmetric design, built to provide excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions, characteristic of a high-performance summer or mild-climate all-season tyre. The SRT mark indicates it is tuned for maximizing this dynamic performance.

• Aesthetic: The low profile on the large 19-inch rim delivers a highly aggressive and sporty visual appearance.
