Fronway Vanplus-09 – 215/60R17C 109/107T

Description: The Fronway Vanplus-09 in 215/60R17C 109/107T is a commercial-grade Light Truck (LT) or “C” (Commercial) tyre. This size is typically used on modern, heavy-duty commercial vans, high-roof vans, and large-capacity utility vehicles that require high stability, excellent load-carrying capacity, and extended durability, such as certain models of the Ford Transit, Renault Master, or other large European vans. The Vanplus-09 is specifically engineered for commercial service, prioritizing safety, longevity, and stability under constant heavy loads.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Commercial (C) Tyre Construction: The ‘C’ designation signifies reinforced construction, including a heavy-duty casing and multiple plies. This allows the tyre to operate safely at high inflation pressures and resist the wear, tear, and punctures common in strenuous commercial applications.

• High Load/Dual Fitment Capacity: The dual load index 109/107T is a key characteristic, specifying its load capacity for both single and dual (twin) fitment on an axle:

  • 109 (Single Fitment): Maximum load of 1030kg (2271 lbs) per tyre.

  • 107 (Dual Fitment): Maximum load of 975kg (2150 lbs) per tyre.

• Speed Rating: Rated T (up to 118 mph / 190 km/h), this speed rating is suitable for commercial vehicle use, confirming stability and structural integrity under maximum load at highway speeds.

• Stability and Handling Under Load: The tyre features a wide tread width (215mm) and a relatively low profile (60-series for a commercial tyre), which enhances road contact and lateral stability. The robust tread pattern ensures confident braking and reliable steering response, even when the vehicle is fully laden.

• Durability and Mileage: The specialized tread compound is optimized for maximum wear resistance, aiming to deliver high mileage and a cost-effective service life, which is essential for fleet management.

• Wet Weather Performance: Grooves and sipes are engineered to effectively channel water away from the contact patch, enhancing grip and reducing the risk of hydroplaning in wet conditions.
