Saferich FRC96 – 215/70R15C 109/107S

Description: The Saferich FRC96 in 215/70R15C is a heavy-duty Commercial (C-rated) tyre specifically engineered for light trucks, transporters, and large delivery vans. Unlike performance car tyres, the FRC96 focuses on high load-carrying capacity, structural durability, and maximum mileage. This size is a standard factory fitment for dependable workhorses like the Toyota HiAce, older Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models, Ford Transit, and many coach-built motorhomes/campervans.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Commercial Grade (C): The “C” designation indicates a reinforced, multi-ply carcass designed to handle the constant stress of heavy cargo, high inflation pressures, and commercial use.

• Dual Load Index (109/107):

  • 109 (Single Fitment): Supports up to 1,030 kg (2,271 lbs) per tyre when used on a standard two-tyre axle.

  • 107 (Dual Fitment): Supports up to 975 kg (2,150 lbs) per tyre when used in a “dually” (four tyres on one axle) configuration to account for heat buildup and load sharing.

• Speed Rating (S): Rated S (up to 112 mph / 180 km/h). This provides a safe operating margin for fully loaded vans traveling at sustained highway speeds.

• Heavy-Duty Tread Pattern:

  • Three Wide Zigzag Grooves: Designed for superior water evacuation and to provide “biting edges” for better traction on wet roads or slippery worksites.

  • Stone Ejectors: The groove geometry is designed to prevent small rocks from getting lodged in the tread, protecting the internal steel belts from “stone drilling.”

• Reinforced Sidewall: Built with extra rubber thickness to serve as a scuff guard, protecting the tyre from the frequent curb contact common in urban delivery environments.

• High-Mileage Compound: The rubber compound is specifically formulated to resist abrasive wear, extending the service life and reducing the “cost-per-mile” for fleet operators.
