More Information

The 195/70R15C Farroad FRD96 is a professional-grade solution for commercial transport and logistics. This tyre is designed to carry substantial weight while maintaining a smooth and stable ride. It fits many legendary workhorse vehicles, specifically the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Transporter, and Ford Transit. The FRD96 tread is built to withstand the rigours of both long-distance hauls and frequent urban deliveries.

At Click And Go Tyres, we prioritize high-value options that reduce your business overheads. The FRD96 features a specialized rubber compound that resists heat build-up under heavy stress. This helps to extend the life of the tread and prevents premature wear. Consequently, you get more working miles from every tyre, keeping your fleet on the road for longer.

• Heavy-Duty 8-Ply Casing: Specifically built to carry high payloads without compromising structural safety.

• Reinforced Sidewalls: Provides essential protection against kerb scrubbing and impacts during city driving.

• Optimized Tread Pattern: Designed to provide consistent traction and even wear across the life of the tyre.

• Stable Road Footprint: Ensures the vehicle remains balanced and easy to handle even when fully loaded.

Technical Insight: Load and Speed Index

Selecting the correct technical ratings is vital for the legal and safe operation of your van. This tyre features a 104/102S rating:

• Load Index (104/102): The primary index (104) allows a single tyre to carry up to 900kg. The secondary index (102) is for twin-rear wheel setups, supporting 850kg per tyre. Therefore, it is ideal for 3.5-tonne delivery vehicles.

• Speed Rating (S): This letter signifies a maximum safe speed of 112mph. This provides a massive safety buffer for standard UK motorway travel and commercial speed limits.

Operational Stability and Control

Safety is a primary objective of the Farroad FRD96 design. The rigid shoulder blocks offer excellent lateral support, which prevents the “swaying” feel often experienced in high-sided vans during windy conditions. Additionally, the continuous central ribs ensure sharp and predictable steering. This action results in a more confident driving experience when navigating roundabouts or busy urban streets.

Safety in Wet Conditions

The 195/70R15C Farroad FRD96 is engineered to handle the unpredictable UK rain. Three deep longitudinal grooves act as powerful drainage channels. They move water away from the contact patch instantly to prevent aquaplaning. Consequently, drivers benefit from shorter braking distances and secure traction on rain-soaked roads.
