Saferich FRC26 – 255/35ZR18 94Y XL

Description: The Saferich FRC26 in 255/35ZR18 94Y XL is a flagship Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre built for the most demanding sports cars and performance-tuned sedans. This size is a popular rear-axle fitment for staggered setups on the BMW 3 Series (E90/F30), Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sport, and various JDM icons like the Nissan Silvia or Toyota Supra. With its “Y” speed rating and reinforced XL carcass, it represents the high-performance peak of the Saferich range.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Extra Load (94 XL): Reinforced to support up to 670 kg (1,477 lbs) per tyre. The XL construction is critical for 35-series tyres; it allows for higher inflation pressures which protect the rim against impacts and provide the necessary sidewall stiffness for heavy lateral G-forces.

• Maximum Speed Capability (Y / ZR): * Rated Y (up to 186 mph / 300 km/h). This is the highest standard speed rating available, indicating the tyre is engineered for extreme thermal stability.

  • The ZR designation confirms the high-speed structural integrity required for cars capable of exceeding 150 mph.

• Ultra-Low Profile Handling: The 35-series sidewall provides a razor-sharp steering response. By nearly eliminating sidewall “squirm,” this tyre offers a direct, communicative connection between the driver and the road.

• Asymmetric Sport Tread:

  • Outer Shoulder: Massive, rigid blocks provide an expansive contact patch for maximum dry grip during aggressive cornering.

  • Inner Ribs: Feature specialized “S-shaped” silent grooves that help neutralize the “hum” often produced by wide performance tyres.

• Wet Surface Management: Equipped with four wide circumferential grooves to evacuate water quickly. This is vital for a wide 255mm tyre to maintain a footprint on the road during heavy rain and resist hydroplaning.

• Integrated Rim Guard: Features a prominent rim protector rib to help shield expensive 18-inch performance wheels from curb rash.
