Saferich FRC26 – 255/35ZR19 96W

Description: The Saferich FRC26 in 255/35ZR19 96W is an Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre engineered for drivers of sports cars and high-performance luxury sedans. This ultra-low-profile size is a common fitment for the Audi A4/S4, BMW 3 & 4 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class (AMG Line), and Lexus IS. It is designed to provide maximum road feedback and an aggressive “staggered” look while maintaining the high-speed safety required for premium European and Japanese performance vehicles.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Load Capacity: The 96 load index supports up to 710 kg (1,565 lbs) per tyre. Even without an “XL” label, a 96 rating in this shallow profile indicates a high-strength internal carcass designed to resist the extreme vertical loads found during high-speed cornering and heavy braking.

• Speed Rating (W / ZR): * Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h), ensuring the tyre remains structurally stable at sustained highway speeds.

  • The ZR designation signifies a performance-grade construction that manages heat dissipation more effectively than standard radial tyres.

• Low-Profile Precision: The 35-series sidewall is incredibly short, which virtually eliminates “sidewall flex.” This translates to near-instant steering response, allowing the driver to feel every nuance of the road through the steering wheel.

• Asymmetric Sport Tread:

  • Outer Shoulder: Massive, rigid tread blocks ensure a large contact patch for superior lateral grip when the vehicle is pushed through tight bends.

  • Inner Tread: Features a high density of siping and specialized “S-shaped” silent grooves that help dampen road noise—a common issue with wide 19-inch tyres.

• Wet Surface Management: Equipped with four wide circumferential grooves that act as high-speed drainage channels, effectively preventing hydroplaning and maintaining a solid grip in rainy conditions.

• Rim Protector: Includes a built-in rim guard rib to help protect expensive 19-inch wheels from the curb rash often associated with low-profile tyres.
