Product Name: Saferich FRC96 – 215/70R15C 109/107S

Description: The Saferich FRC96 is a heavy-duty Commercial (C-rated) tyre specifically engineered for light trucks, transporters, and large delivery vans. Unlike the FRC26 performance range, the FRC96 focuses on high load-carrying capacity, durability, and mileage. This size is a standard fitment for workhorses like the Toyota HiAce, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (older models), Ford Transit, and various campervans/motorhomes.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Commercial Grade (C): The “C” designation after the rim size indicates a reinforced, multi-ply carcass (often 8-ply or higher) designed to handle the constant stress of heavy cargo 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 axle.

  • 107 (Dual Fitment): Supports up to 975 kg (2,150 lbs) per tyre when used in a “dually” rear-axle configuration, accounting for load sharing and heat dissipation.

• Speed Rating (S): Rated S (up to 112 mph / 180 km/h). While lower than passenger car tyres, this is more than sufficient for commercial vehicles and ensures stability under heavy loads.

• Deep Tread Pattern: The FRC96 features a deeper tread depth than standard tyres, designed specifically to increase the service life (mileage) for high-frequency delivery vehicles.

• Reinforced Sidewall: Built with extra rubber thickness on the sidewall to resist scuffing and damage from frequent curbing, a common occurrence in urban delivery environments.

• Wet Weather Traction: Three wide zigzag longitudinal grooves provide excellent water evacuation and enhance grip on slippery or unpaved worksites.

• Heat Dissipation: The tread blocks are designed with cooling sipes to prevent heat buildup during long-distance highway hauls under maximum load.
