Saferich FRC96 – 185/75R16C 104/102S 8PR

Description: The Saferich FRC96 in 185/75R16C is a specialized Commercial (C-rated) tyre built for narrow-track, high-capacity vans and light trucks. This size is famously used on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (especially dual-rear-wheel versions), Ford Transit, and Iveco Daily. The 75-series aspect ratio provides a tall, shock-absorbing sidewall, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty haulage where cargo protection and structural durability are the top priorities.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• 8-Ply Rating (8PR): This indicates a heavy-duty 8-layer carcass construction. The extra plies provide the puncture resistance and internal strength necessary to handle high inflation pressures and the constant stress of heavy industrial loads.

• Dual Load Index (104/102):

  • 104 (Single Fitment): Supports up to 900 kg (1,984 lbs) per tyre.

  • 102 (Dual Fitment): Supports up to 850 kg (1,874 lbs) per tyre when used in a “dually” configuration on the rear axle.

• Speed Rating (S): Rated S (up to 112 mph / 180 km/h). This rating is perfectly suited for commercial logistics, ensuring the tyre stays cool and stable during long motorway hauls.

• High-Volume Water Drainage: The tread features three deep zigzag grooves that are highly effective at clearing water and slush. This design is critical for maintaining traction on unpaved worksites or during heavy rain.

• Cargo Comfort: The tall 75-series sidewall acts as a secondary suspension component. It absorbs road shocks and vibrations, which is essential for protecting fragile cargo and reducing wear on the vehicle’s suspension.

• Stone Ejection Technology: The tread pattern is engineered with angled groove walls to prevent “stone trapping.” This protects the steel belts from being pierced by sharp rocks, a common cause of premature tyre failure in commercial settings.

• Reinforced Sidewall: Specifically designed with a thick scuff guard to resist damage from curb contact during tight urban deliveries.
