Farroad FRD888 – 255/40R19 100W

Description: The Farroad FRD888 in 255/40R19 100W is a High-Performance (HP) / Ultra-High Performance (UHP) All-Season/Summer tyre. This size is typically fitted to the wheels of premium executive saloons and performance coupes (like the Audi A6/A7, BMW 5-Series, or Mercedes-Benz E-Class), offering a balance of high-speed capability, responsive handling, and a comfortable ride.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is built for stable, safe, and precise handling at sustained high motorway speeds, characteristic of a UHP tyre.

• Load Capacity: The 100 load index supports up to 800kg (1764 lbs) per tyre. This is a robust load rating, often associated with an XL (Extra Load) designation for this size, ensuring it can handle the weight and dynamic cornering forces of heavy, modern vehicles.

• Performance Profile: The wide 255mm tread and the very low 40-series sidewall minimize tyre flex, providing a large contact patch for excellent stability and responsive steering, which is key for spirited driving.

• Tread Design: The FRD888 typically features a high-performance asymmetric tread pattern. This design is optimized for:

  • Strong Grip: Providing confident traction on both dry and wet road surfaces.

  • Water Evacuation: Utilizing wide longitudinal grooves to channel water away from the contact patch, enhancing resistance to hydroplaning.

• Driving Comfort: The tread pattern is engineered to reduce road noise and vibrations, contributing to a quieter and more refined cabin environment, which is a desirable trait for luxury vehicle applications.

• Versatility: The FRD888, like other Farroad FRD series tyres, is often positioned to offer reliable performance in varying conditions, suitable for year-round use in mild climates.
