Saferich FRC96 – 195/75R16C 107/105S

Description: The Saferich FRC96 in 195/75R16C is a high-load Commercial (C-rated) tyre designed for the “narrow-track” wheel configurations often found on large vans and light trucks. This specific size is widely used on vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter, Ford Transit (RWD/Dually models), and Iveco Daily. Its tall sidewall (75-series) is specifically engineered to handle heavy weight while providing extra cushioning for cargo protection.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Commercial Grade (C): Built with a reinforced, multi-ply carcass (typically 8-ply or 10-ply equivalent) to withstand the high internal pressures and heavy vertical loads of logistics and construction work.

• Dual Load Index (107/105):

  • 107 (Single Fitment): Supports up to 975 kg (2,150 lbs) per tyre on a standard axle.

  • 105 (Dual Fitment): Supports up to 925 kg (2,039 lbs) per tyre when used in a “dually” (four tyres on one axle) configuration, common for heavy-duty 3.5-ton vans.

• Speed Rating (S): Rated S (up to 112 mph / 180 km/h). This rating ensures the tyre can maintain structural integrity during long-distance hauls on motorways under full load.

• Tall Sidewall Durability: The 75-series aspect ratio provides a deep vertical cushion. This helps absorb the impact of potholes and rough worksite terrain, protecting the vehicle’s suspension and the goods being carried.

• Optimized Traction Pattern:

  • Zigzag Grooves: Features three primary longitudinal grooves that channel water away to prevent hydroplaning and provide extra “grip edges” for light off-road surfaces or snowy slush.

  • Stone Ejectors: The tread grooves are designed to naturally eject small stones and debris, preventing “stone drilling” that can damage the internal steel belts.

• Reinforced Scuff Guard: Includes a thicker sidewall rib to protect against “curbing” damage, which is frequent during urban deliveries in tight streets.
