Farroad FRD866 – 245/45ZRF18 96W XL RUNFLAT

Description: The Farroad FRD866 in 245/45ZRF18 96W XL is a high-performance Summer tyre featuring Run-Flat Technology (RFT). This size is commonly fitted to powerful executive and sports saloons (such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Audi A6) that require a wide footprint, high speed rating, and Run-Flat capability as factory equipment. It delivers strong grip and stability along with the essential safety of extended mobility after a puncture.

Key Features:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): The ZRF in the size code signifies its Run-Flat capability. This means the tyre has reinforced sidewalls that allow it to support the vehicle’s weight and continue driving at a reduced speed (typically up to 50 mph / 80 km/h) for a limited distance following a loss of air pressure.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is built with robust components to ensure safety and stable handling at high motorway speeds. The Z in the designation confirms its high-speed engineering.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: With a 96 load index, this reinforced tyre supports up to 710kg per tyre. The Extra Load structure is vital for safely handling the weight and dynamic forces of large, powerful saloons and executive cars.

• Performance Handling: The wide 245mm tread and the low 45-series sidewall minimise tyre deflection, providing precise steering response and enhanced stability during high-speed cornering.

• Wet Weather Safety: Wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by efficiently dispersing water and slush from the wide tyre footprint, promoting safer performance in rain.

• Convenience: Eliminates the urgent need for a roadside tyre change, which is a significant safety benefit, especially on busy motorways.
