Farroad FRD868 – 275/35R20 102W

Description: The Farroad FRD868 in 275/35R20 102W is a high-performance Ultra-High Performance (UHP) Summer/All-Season tyre. This size is commonly used as a rear tyre on staggered fitments for high-performance sports cars, executive saloons, and large coupes (such as the Audi R8, BMW M5/M6, Mercedes-AMG GT, or performance versions of the Tesla Model S). It is engineered for maximum road contact and high-speed stability.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Performance: Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), this tyre is built with strong, heat-resistant components to handle the extreme heat and stress of sustained high-speed driving, characteristic of a UHP tyre. Listings often show a ZR designation, confirming its high-speed engineering.

• Extra Load (XL) Capacity (Implied): The 102 load index supports up to 850kg (1874 lbs) per tyre. For a low-profile performance tyre of this size, this load index usually indicates an Extra Load (XL) or reinforced construction, which is vital for handling the weight and tremendous dynamic forces of powerful vehicles.

• Maximum Grip Profile: The extremely wide 275mm tread combined with the very low 35-series sidewall provides a massive contact patch, optimizing traction for powerful acceleration and providing exceptional lateral grip for cornering stability.

• UHP Tread Design: The FRD868 features an asymmetric or performance-oriented tread pattern, built to deliver responsive handling and strong braking performance on both dry and wet road surfaces. Some listings show an M+S (Mud and Snow) mark, suggesting its use as a capable all-season tyre in moderate climates.

• Handling and Response: The low profile minimizes tyre flex, resulting in razor-sharp steering response and a direct, connected driving feel that is crucial for performance applications.

• Aesthetic Appeal: The wide, low-profile stance on the large 20-inch rim delivers a highly aggressive and visually striking performance look.
