Saferich FRC866 – 255/45ZR19 104W XL

Description: The Saferich FRC866 is a flagship Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tyre designed for premium SUVs, high-end crossovers, and executive sport sedans. This specific size is a common factory fitment for high-performance vehicles such as the Tesla Model Y (Rear), Audi A8, BMW X3 / X4, Porsche Macan, and Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line. The FRC866 pattern is engineered to handle higher vehicle weights while providing the “velvet” ride quality and sharp handling expected from a luxury performance tyre.

Key Features and Technical Details:

• Extra Load (104 XL): The 104 load index allows the tyre to support up to 900 kg (1,984 lbs). As an XL (Extra Load) tyre, it is designed with a reinforced internal structure to manage the high curb weight of electric vehicles (EVs) and luxury SUVs, ensuring the sidewalls don’t “flex” excessively under heavy cornering loads.

• High-Speed Performance (W / ZR):

  • Rated W (up to 168 mph / 270 km/h).

  • The ZR designation indicates a high-speed carcass that maintains a consistent footprint by resisting the centrifugal force generated at highway speeds.

• Optimized Contact Patch: The FRC866 features a wide, flat tread profile that maximizes the surface area in contact with the road. This improves dry braking performance and provides a more stable feel during high-speed lane changes.

• Advanced Silent Tread Design:

  • Utilizing an asymmetric tread pattern, the FRC866 is designed to disrupt “tread growl.“

  • The pitch of the tread blocks is varied to prevent harmonic noise, ensuring a quiet cabin—a critical feature for premium SUVs and electric cars.

• Wet Weather Safety: Equipped with four wide longitudinal grooves that act as high-velocity drainage channels. This is essential for a wide 255mm tyre to maintain a high safety margin and resist hydroplaning in standing water.

• Precision Outer Shoulder: The outer shoulder features large, solid blocks that provide lateral stiffness. This results in immediate steering response and high grip levels during aggressive cornering.
