Fronway Vanplus-09 – 185R15C 103/102R

Description: The Fronway Vanplus-09 in 185R15C 103/102R is a dedicated commercial-grade light truck (LT) or “C” (Commercial) tyre. The ‘R’ without an aspect ratio (e.g., 185R15C) indicates a standard 80-series aspect ratio (185/80R15C). This robust size is commonly fitted to light commercial vehicles, passenger vans, and delivery vehicles that operate under continuous, heavy-load conditions. The Vanplus-09 is specifically engineered to provide exceptional durability, high load capacity, and stable, long-lasting performance necessary for commercial service.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Commercial (C) Tyre Construction: The ‘C’ designation and reinforced structure mean this tyre is built with multiple steel belts and reinforced sidewalls to withstand high internal air pressures and carry heavy loads safely, offering superior resistance to punctures and damage.

• Dual Load/Speed Index: The dual marking 103/102R specifies its load capacity when used as a single fitment or as part of a twin/dual fitment on a rear axle:

  • 103 (Single Fitment): Maximum load of 875kg (1929 lbs) per tyre.

  • 102 (Dual Fitment): Maximum load of 850kg (1874 lbs) per tyre.

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

• Durability and Longevity: The specialized tread compound and deep tread depths are optimized for wear resistance, aiming to provide extended mileage and an economical cost-per-mile service life, which is critical for fleet operators.

• Handling Under Load: The tread pattern typically features large, stable blocks and wide circumferential grooves that enhance road contact, providing confident braking, stable handling, and reliable steering response, even when the vehicle is at its maximum rated payload.
