Farroad FRD96 – 205/65R16C 107/105T 8PR

Description: The Farroad FRD96 in 205/65R16C is a robust commercial tyre designed for medium-to-large vans and light commercial vehicles (such as the VW Transporter, Mercedes Vito, and Renault Trafic). Featuring an 8-Ply Rating (8PR) and a high load index, this tyre is built to withstand the rigours of daily work while supporting heavy payloads with ease. It offers a balance of durability, safety, and load-bearing strength essential for business use.

Key Features:

• High Load Capacity: With a load index of 107/105, this tyre can support up to 975kg per tyre (in single fitment), providing the necessary strength for fully laden vans carrying tools, cargo, or passengers.

• Reinforced 8-Ply Construction: The tough internal casing and reinforced sidewalls offer superior resistance to impact, curbing, and punctures, ensuring reliability in demanding commercial environments.

• Wet Weather Safety: Wide longitudinal grooves (typically three zig-zag grooves) rapidly evacuate water from the contact patch, minimizing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring reliable braking performance in the rain.

• Long Tread Life: Manufactured with a specialized wear-resistant compound, the FRD96 helps maximize mileage, reducing long-term operating costs for fleet owners and tradespeople.

• Stable Handling: The stiff tread blocks and solid shoulder design minimize tread squirm under load, ensuring the vehicle feels stable and planted on the road, even at highway speeds.

• Stone Ejection: The groove design includes features to prevent stone retention, protecting the tyre casing from damage when driving on gravel or construction sites.
