Product Name: Saferich FRC16 – 185/65R15 88H

Description: The Saferich FRC16 in 185/65R15 88H is a Premium Touring All-Season tyre, widely regarded as one of the most versatile sizes for passenger vehicles. It is a standard fitment for many of the world’s best-selling cars, including the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic (older models), Hyundai Elantra, Kia Rio, and Nissan Versa. This tyre is designed to deliver a smooth, quiet ride with a focus on safety and fuel economy for everyday commuting.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Load Capacity: The 88 load index supports up to 560 kg (1235 lbs) per tyre. This provides a sturdy foundation for five-passenger sedans and hatchbacks, ensuring stability even when the vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and luggage.

• Speed Rating (H): Rated H (up to 130 mph / 210 km/h). This rating ensures the tyre can easily handle sustained highway speeds while remaining cooler than lower-rated tyres, which helps extend the life of the rubber compound.

• Optimal Comfort Profile: The 65-series sidewall is the “goldilocks” height for touring—tall enough to provide excellent cushioning against road vibrations and potholes, but short enough to maintain good steering stability.

• Fuel-Efficient Design: The 185mm tread width offers a reduced rolling resistance compared to wider performance tyres, helping drivers maximize their fuel efficiency (MPG).

• All-Season Tread Pattern:

  • Reliable Traction: Features a high density of sipes (tiny slits in the tread) that act as “biting edges” to grip the road in wet or lightly snowy conditions.

  • Hydroplaning Resistance: Deep circumferential grooves channel water away from the center of the tyre, maintaining a solid connection to the road during heavy rain.

• Symmetrical Design: The tread pattern is symmetrical, allowing for versatile tyre rotation patterns (cross-rotation). This is key to preventing uneven wear and getting the maximum possible mileage out of the set.

Performance Ratings (UTQG)

The FRC16 in this touring size typically carries the following ratings:

• Treadwear: 480 – 520 (Designed for high mileage and long-term durability).

• Traction: A (Excellent braking capability on wet pavement).

• Temperature: A (Top-tier resistance to heat buildup during long-distance drives).
