Farroad FRD96 – 195/60R16C 99/97T 6PLY

Description: The Farroad FRD96 in 195/60R16C is a robust commercial tyre designed specifically for light trucks, small vans, and car-derived commercial vehicles (such as the VW Caddy, Citroën Berlingo, or Ford Transit Connect). The “C” designation and 6-Ply rating indicate a reinforced construction built to handle heavy payloads and the rigours of daily commercial use, offering durability and reliability for business drivers.

Key Features:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Featuring a 6-Ply reinforced sidewall, this tyre is engineered to withstand the extra weight and stress of commercial applications, offering excellent resistance to impacts and curbing damage.

• High Load Capacity: With a load index of 99/97, this tyre is certified to carry heavier loads (up to 775kg for single fitment), ensuring stability and safety even when the van is fully laden with cargo or tools.

• Extended Tread Life: Manufactured with a wear-resistant commercial compound, the FRD96 is designed to deliver high mileage, helping businesses reduce operating costs over the long term.

• Wet Weather Safety: Three wide longitudinal grooves (often with a zig-zag design) efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and ensuring reliable braking on wet roads.

• Stable Handling Under Load: The stiff shoulder blocks and continuous centre rib provide excellent stability and steering response, ensuring the vehicle remains easy to control even when carrying heavy weight at motorway speeds (T-rated).

• Stone Ejection: The tread groove design helps prevent stone retention, protecting the casing from damage on rougher road surfaces often encountered in delivery environments.
