Fronway Speedway 56 – 255/45RF20 101V Run-Flat

Description: The Fronway Speedway 56 in 255/45RF20 101V Run-Flat is a Performance All-Season tyre specifically engineered for the high-end SUV and crossover market, such as the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and various luxury models requiring the safety assurance of run-flat technology. This tyre is designed to offer stable handling, enhanced wet and dry grip, and a comfortable ride, combined with the critical security of extended mobility after a pressure loss.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Run-Flat Technology (RFT): The tyre features reinforced, self-supporting sidewalls. This allows the tyre to maintain its structural integrity and support the vehicle’s weight following a puncture, enabling the driver to continue their journey safely for a limited distance (typically up to 50 miles / 80 km) at a reduced speed. The ‘RF’ in the size code denotes the Run-Flat construction.

• High Load Capacity: The 101 load index certifies this tyre to support a maximum load of 825kg (1819 lbs) per tyre. This robust load capacity is crucial for managing the significant weight and higher centre of gravity of modern SUVs and crossovers.

• Performance V-Rating: Rated V (up to 149 mph / 240 km/h), this tyre provides ample speed capability for highway driving. While not a pure Ultra High-Performance tyre, the rating confirms its stability and structural integrity for sustained high-speed use.

• Asymmetric Tread Design: The tread pattern is asymmetric, featuring a robust outer shoulder designed to enhance cornering stability and dry grip, which is essential for handling heavier vehicles. The inner tread elements are optimized for water evacuation and all-season traction.

• Wet Weather Control: Multiple wide circumferential grooves and lateral channels are incorporated to rapidly channel water and slush away from the contact patch. This system significantly enhances hydroplaning resistance and improves braking performance in wet conditions.

• Comfort and Noise Reduction: The design utilizes an optimized tread pitch sequence. This engineering detail works to break up and reduce noise harmonics generated by the road surface, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable driving experience, which is especially valued in the luxury SUV segment.
