Description
Driving a modern sport saloon or executive performance sedan across the Kingdom demands a tire that can manage aggressive cornering forces without sacrificing safety or breaking traction. At AutoFast, we deliver high-caliber road performance with the track-inspired Firestone Sport 245/40 R18 passenger tire. Fusing iconic American motorsport heritage with precision engineering from the Bridgestone Group, this tire is specifically tailored to distribute load forces evenly and withstand intense summer tarmac friction.
Key Performance Highlights Calibrated for Local Demands:
Track-Inspired Cornering Command: Featuring extra-wide, rigid outer shoulder blocks, the tire maximizes contact with the asphalt during high-speed sweeping lanes. This prevents vehicle swaying (body roll) and instills pure confidence in the driver.
Reinforced XL (Extra Load) Matrix: The XL rating means the tire wall is structurally fortified with high-tensile cords. This provides heavy-duty protection for your premium 18-inch alloy wheels against harsh pothole impacts and prevents sidewall bubbling (bulges).
Advanced Wet & Dry Braking Response: Formulated with an innovative silica-rich sports compound, it provides immediate bite and shorter stopping distances on dry highways, while its broad longitudinal grooves flush away water instantly during heavy seasonal downpours.
Brand / Manufacturer: Firestone – Engineered under the global Bridgestone Group umbrella.
Tire Pattern / Family: Firehawk Sport / Performance Series – Ultra High Performance (UHP).
Section Width: 245 mm, delivering an expanded wide contact area for premium traction and high-torque braking.
Aspect Ratio / Profile: 40%, ultra-low-profile profile height optimized for elite sport handling and crisp response.
Internal Construction: Radial (R), constructed with twin high-tensile steel belts for optimized heat dissipation.
Load Casing Class: XL (Extra Load), reinforced internal structure resisting high pressure and road hazards.
Load Index Rating: 97 (Safely supports a maximum weight of up to 730 kg per tire under high-performance tuning).
Speed Rating Index: Y (The highest international speed rating, certified safe and structurally sound up to 300 km/h).
Internal Tire Type: TL (Tubeless – operates completely without an inner tube for advanced safety and blowout defense).
