Farroad FRD88 – 245/50R20 102W XL

Description: The Farroad FRD888 in 245/50R20 102W XL is a high-performance Luxury SUV/Crossover All-Season tyre. This size is a common fitment for premium, mid-to-large SUVs and CUVs (like the BMW X3/X4, Mercedes-Benz GLC, or Cadillac XT5). It is engineered to provide a blend of powerful grip, high-speed stability, and a comfortable, quiet ride.

Key Features:

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity: The 102 load index and the XL (Extra Load) designation mean this reinforced tyre supports up to 850kg (1874 lbs) per tyre. This robust construction is essential for safely managing the considerable weight and higher centre of gravity of modern SUVs and CUVs.

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is built with high-quality, heat-resistant components, confirming its ability to provide stable, safe, and precise handling at sustained high speeds.

• Performance SUV Profile: The wide 245mm tread on a 20-inch rim, combined with the moderate 50-series sidewall, offers a good balance. It delivers responsive handling and stability while maintaining a comfortable ride quality expected from a luxury vehicle.

• All-Season/High-Performance Design: The FRD88/FRD888 is typically structured as an All-Season or Summer Touring tyre, featuring a compound and tread pattern optimized for excellent wet and dry grip. The design often includes deep grooves and siping details to efficiently channel water away, significantly reducing hydroplaning risk.

• Comfort Focus: The tread block sequencing is engineered to minimize road and pattern noise, resulting in a notably quieter and smoother driving experience, which enhances cabin comfort for luxury vehicle occupants.

• Fuel Efficiency: The compound and tread design are optimized for low rolling resistance, which contributes to improved fuel economy.
