Fronway Vanplus-09 – 185/75R16C 104/102R

Description: The Fronway Vanplus-09 in 185/75R16C 104/102R is a commercial-grade light truck (LT) or “C” (Commercial) tyre specifically designed for vans, panel trucks, and heavy-duty trailers. This common size is fitted to popular commercial vehicles that require a high load capacity, excellent durability, and stable handling necessary for transporting goods and passengers. The Vanplus-09 is engineered to maximize mileage and provide reliable performance under continuous, heavy-load service conditions.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Commercial (C) Tyre Construction: The ‘C’ designation and reinforced sidewall construction indicate this tyre is built with multiple plies (layers) and heavier-duty materials to withstand high internal pressures and constant heavy loading, providing greater resistance to damage and punctures.

• Dual Load/Speed Index: The dual marking 104/102R signifies its capability for both single and dual (or twin) fitment on an axle:

  • 104 (Single Fitment): Maximum load of 900kg (1984 lbs) per tyre.

  • 102 (Dual Fitment): Maximum load of 850kg (1874 lbs) per tyre (the lower rating accounts for limited load sharing accuracy).

• Speed Rating: Rated R (up to 106 mph / 170 km/h), this is the standard speed rating for commercial van tyres, confirming its stability under load at typical highway speeds.

• Durability and Longevity: The tread compound and robust construction are optimized for maximum resistance to wear and tear, aiming to provide extended mileage and a low cost-per-mile service life.

• Tread Stability: The tread pattern typically features large, blocky elements and wide circumferential grooves that enhance road contact, providing excellent stability, confident braking, and reliable steering response, even when the vehicle is fully loaded.

• Wet Weather Performance: Grooves and sipes are engineered to effectively channel water away from the contact patch, enhancing grip and reducing the risk of hydroplaning in wet conditions.
