Saferich FRC16 – 205/55ZR16 91V

Description: The Saferich FRC16 in 205/55ZR16 91V is a High-Performance Touring tyre that fits one of the most popular tyre sizes in the world. This size is the standard fitment for a vast array of vehicles, including the Volkswagen Golf/Jetta, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Mazda 3, and BMW 3 Series (older models). The “ZR” designation indicates a high-speed rated carcass, making this tyre an excellent choice for drivers who want a balance of sporty handling and everyday comfort.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Load Capacity: The 91 load index supports up to 615 kg (1356 lbs) per tyre. This is the standard load rating for this class, providing excellent stability for compact and mid-sized sedans.

• Speed Rating (V / ZR): * The V rating signifies safety up to 149 mph (240 km/h).

  • The ZR designation in the size indicates the tyre’s internal structure is reinforced to handle the stresses of high-speed operation and improved heat dissipation.

• Sporty Handling Profile: The 205mm width and 55-series sidewall are widely considered the “sweet spot” for drivers. The wider tread provides a larger contact patch for better grip, while the shorter sidewall reduces “tyre flex” during cornering for a more responsive steering feel.

• All-Season Versatility:

  • Wet Traction: Equipped with four wide circumferential grooves that efficiently channel water away to prevent hydroplaning.

  • Advanced Siping: High-density lateral siping provides the “biting edges” needed for reliable traction on wet roads and light wintry slush.

• Comfort and Silence: Saferich utilizes a specialized tread block arrangement designed to minimize road noise. This ensures that even with its sportier construction, the tyre remains quiet and comfortable for long-distance cruising.

• Wear Resistance: The symmetrical tread pattern promotes even wear across the surface, which, when combined with regular rotation, helps maximize the mileage life of the tyre.
