Saferich FRC26 – 215/45ZR17 91W XL

Description: The Saferich FRC26 in 215/45ZR17 91W is a high-demand Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre tailored for compact sports cars and performance coupes. This is a primary fitment for the Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ, Honda Civic Si, Lexus IS, Mazda 6, and Audi A1. It strikes a perfect balance between an aggressive low-profile look and the daily drivability required for enthusiasts who use their cars for both commuting and spirited weekend drives.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Extra Load (91 XL): The 91 load index supports up to 615 kg (1,356 lbs) per tyre. The XL (Extra Load) reinforcement provides a stiffer internal structure, which is vital for maintaining tyre shape during hard cornering and providing an extra layer of protection for 17-inch alloy wheels against road imperfections.

• High-Speed Stability (W / ZR):

  • Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), ensuring the tyre remains safe and cool under high-speed thermal stress.

  • The ZR designation indicates a construction engineered to resist centrifugal deformation, keeping the contact patch consistent at highway speeds.

• Precision Steering: The 45-series profile is the enthusiast’s choice for “connected” road feel. It provides a rigid sidewall for sharp turn-in response while retaining enough air volume to absorb minor road vibrations.

• Asymmetric Tread Architecture:

  • Outer Shoulder: Features reinforced, large tread blocks that provide maximum lateral stability and grip during high-speed maneuvers.

  • Inner Tread: Optimized with “S-shaped” silent grooves that break up air resonance, making this one of the quieter UHP options in its class.

• Wet Weather Control: Equipped with four wide circumferential grooves designed to evacuate water rapidly. This ensures the 215mm footprint stays in contact with the road, significantly reducing the risk of hydroplaning.

• Rim Protector: Includes an integrated rim guard rib to help protect your wheels from curb rash during parking.
