Farroad FRD16. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Farroad FRD16 is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. This model also comes in touring sizes.The model offers great all weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and all season tire compound increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The model's constant road gripping ability is further boosted with the tread's optimal siping detail, while the special all season compound maintains the tire's flexibility even in colder temperatures. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint, making the wet and winter weather performance safer.The tread design and tire compound manage to lengthen the tread life and usability significantly. The tread closely follows the road surface and evenly spreads out the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking. The equally circulated driving pressure prevents irregular wear formations across the tread area. The special compound slows the tread wear rate down with its wear-resistant capability. The longer lasting even tread life extends the tire's usability.The tread design's ribbed pattern upgrades the model's controllability. The three center ribs and the optimal shoulder pattern enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. They increase the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while its structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The special siping detail boosts the braking capability. They create friction at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the tire's braking distance, ensuring a safer performance even at high speeds.The FRD16 promotes a quiet performance. The tread design's special closed shoulder pattern enhances the driving comfort by lowering the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. The closed design prevents airwaves from entering the footprint and coming into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the road and tread pattern noise is not generated during the drive, guaranteeing a comfortable driving experience. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
