Saferich FRC96 – 205/65R16C 107/105T 8PR

Description: The Saferich FRC96 in 205/65R16C is a robust, Commercial-rated (C) tyre built for the rigorous demands of light commercial vehicles and medium-sized vans. This size is a standard requirement for popular workhorses such as the Renault Trafic, Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro, Volkswagen Transporter (T5/T6), and Ford Transit Custom. It is specifically designed to handle heavy payloads while maintaining stability during long hours of motorway and urban delivery driving.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• 8-Ply Rating (8PR): The 8PR designation indicates a heavy-duty, reinforced carcass construction. This multi-ply design provides the structural integrity needed to resist punctures and carry heavy industrial loads without compromising the tyre’s shape.

• Dual Load Index (107/105):

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

  • 105 (Dual Fitment): Supports up to 925 kg (2,039 lbs) per tyre when used in a dual-rear-wheel setup.

• Speed Rating (T): Rated T (up to 118 mph / 190 km/h). This is a higher speed rating than many commercial tyres, offering a safer margin for modern vans capable of sustained highway speeds.

• High-Mileage Compound: The FRC96 utilizes a specialized wear-resistant rubber compound. This is engineered to reduce the “cost-per-mile” for fleet operators by extending the life of the tread under constant load.

• Commercial Tread Design:

  • Three Wide Zigzag Grooves: These grooves provide excellent water displacement to prevent hydroplaning and offer additional “biting edges” for traction on wet or slightly muddy worksites.

  • Stiff Shoulder Blocks: Large, reinforced outer tread blocks prevent uneven wear caused by frequent cornering and roundabouts, common in urban delivery routes.

• Curb Protection: The sidewall is engineered with extra thickness to provide a “scuff guard,” protecting the tyre’s structural plies from damage when brushing against curbs.
