Farroad Tyres was founded in 2007 and is a Chinese manufacturer, owned by the Shandong Fengyuan Tire Manufacturing Group which also owns several other subsidiaries and tyre brands.

The tyres produced by Farroad are distributed all over the world, meeting global safety standards for road driving as well as mixed terrain driving. Among the attributes of Farroad Tyres, affordability and quality are often noted, alongside excellent handling with special focus on wet grip.

The Farroad Tyre brand sits within the mid-range market, with high quality tyres that are affordable but not as cheap to purchase as budget tyres. While Farroad Tyres do not meet the same high-performance standards as brands like Michelin and Bridgestone, which occupy the premium end of the market, they do support high quality handling, cornering, safety and comfort.

When it comes to listing the benefits of Farroad tyres, drivers cite affordability, international certifications, durability and versatility among some of the top benefits of the brand and its collection. With tyres for different vehicles and driving conditions, Farroad has all-season, summer, and winter tyres as part of its range – with UK drivers able to choose between all-season tyres for year-round driving, or summer or winter specific tyres for optimised performance.

With Farroad tyres representing an affordable option for drivers of regular cars, light trucks and vans, SUVs, and performance vehicles, the most popular tyres in the brand’s collection will vary from one driver to the next.

However, the top rated tyres include the Farroad FRD88 summer tyres for high-performance passenger car driving, the Farroad Arctic STU99 winter tyres, and the Farroad FRD66 all-season tyres.

The FRD88 summer tyres support high-performance driving, in part thanks to the speed index that supports heavy acceleration, and in part with their complex tread design that supports dry road handling and wet grip. The STU99 tyres, meanwhile, resist hydroplaning in challenging conditions and have Z-shaped grooves which optimise handling when cornering and accelerating in cold weather.

The all-season FRD66 tyres are among the more expensive models from Farroad but are designed for year-round safety and performance. Suitable for everyday driving and for navigating varying terrains in an SUV, these all-season tyres have additional shoulder blocks for stability and can easily dispel water from the tyres in wet conditions. The snow traction is adequate, while the design of the tread pattern means these tyres can be used on rough terrain and challenging surfaces as well as smooth roads.

The best tyres for your vehicle will depend on tyre size and specification, the climate you are driving in, and on what you prioritise. While not the cheapest car tyres on the market, Farroad Tyres do not match the performance of premium brands like Continental and Goodyear – though they do support longevity and durability.
