Tyre 195/55 R10C 98/96N, SECURITY TR603

Product detailed description

SECURITY TR603 195/55 R10C 98/96N, M+S is a reinforced high-pressure radial tyre developed specifically for trailers, car transporters, low-loader trailers and other applications involving heavy loads. SECURITY designed the TR603 range specifically for trailers, combining high load capacity, reinforced construction, compact dimensions and long service life.

The 195/55 R10C 98/96N size offers a particularly useful combination of a wide tread, high load capacity and a very small overall wheel diameter. The tyre’s overall diameter is approximately 468 mm, making this size especially popular for car transporters and low-loader trailers, where small wheels allow for a low loading platform and a favourable loading ramp angle.

SECURITY – specialist in trailer tyres

On the European market, the SECURITY brand specialises primarily in tyres for trailers and caravans. Its range includes standard and specialist sizes used in trailer applications. SECURITY tyres are supplied both to the aftermarket and to trailer manufacturers as OEM equipment.

The TR603 range was developed as a high-pressure tyre for heavy loads. Its reinforced construction allows high load capacity even with very compact tyre dimensions, which is a significant advantage in trailer use.

Why is the 195/55 R10C size used on car transporters?

One of the main advantages of the 195/55 R10C size is its combination of a 195 mm width and a very small overall diameter of approximately 468 mm. The tyre can carry heavy loads while allowing the use of a small 10-inch wheel.

This is particularly useful for car transporters and low-loader trailers. The smaller wheel diameter allows for a chassis design with a low loading platform and helps achieve a more favourable loading ramp angle when loading cars with low ground clearance.

What does 195/55 R10C 98/96N mean?

• 195 – nominal tyre width in millimetres.
• 55 – aspect ratio; the sidewall height is 55% of the nominal tyre width.
• R – radial tyre construction.
• 10 – rim diameter of 10 inches.
• C – reinforced tyre construction intended for higher loads.
• 98/96 – load index for single / dual fitment.
• N – speed rating corresponding to a maximum tyre speed of 140 km/h.

750 kg load capacity in single fitment

The load index of 98 corresponds to a load capacity of 750 kg per tyre in single fitment. Two tyres therefore provide a combined nominal load capacity of up to 1,500 kg.

On a twin-axle trailer with four tyres, the combined nominal tyre load capacity is up to 3,000 kg. This figure is only the sum of the tyre load capacities and does not determine the trailer’s permitted gross weight or payload. The actual permitted load is also limited by the load ratings of the rims, axles and chassis, as well as the approved weights of the specific trailer.

In dual fitment, the load index of 96 applies, corresponding to a load capacity of 710 kg per tyre.

Speed rating N – up to 140 km/h

The N speed rating corresponds to a maximum design speed of the tyre of 140 km/h. The maximum permitted speed of the towing vehicle and trailer combination also depends on the trailer’s design and approval, as well as the applicable road traffic regulations.

High-pressure construction for heavy loads

The SECURITY TR603 is designed for high load capacity. In the 195/55 R10C size, its maximum tyre pressure is 6.25 bar / 625 kPa. The high-pressure construction helps achieve high load capacity with very compact tyre dimensions.

The 6.25 bar figure is the maximum pressure specified for this tyre, not a universally recommended operating pressure for every trailer. Always follow the specific trailer manufacturer’s instructions and the markings on the tyre.

We recommend checking the pressure regularly when the tyre is cold. Correct inflation is particularly important for load capacity, stability and even wear on small tyres operating under heavy loads.

What do the M+S and FRT markings mean?

The SECURITY TR603 195/55 R10C 98/96N tyre carries M+S and FRT markings, which describe its characteristics and intended use.

M+S – Mud + Snow

The M+S (Mud + Snow) marking indicates that the tyre’s tread pattern, construction or compound is designed to provide better performance in mud and snow than a standard tyre. For a trailer tyre, this is particularly useful for year-round operation and driving in adverse weather conditions.

The M+S marking is not the same as the 3PMSF marking (the three-peaked mountain and snowflake symbol). An M+S marking alone therefore does not mean that the tyre meets the requirements for tyres carrying the 3PMSF marking.

FRT – Free Rolling Tyre

The FRT (Free Rolling Tyre) marking identifies a tyre intended for use on freely rolling, non-driven axles. Typical applications are the axles of trailers and semi-trailers.

On the SECURITY TR603, the FRT marking therefore corresponds to its main intended use on trailers, car transporters and other towed vehicles.

SECURITY TR603 – high load capacity with compact wheel dimensions

The SECURITY TR603 in the 195/55 R10C 98/96N size suits trailers that require high load capacity combined with a small wheel diameter. This makes it particularly suitable for car transporters, low-loader trailers and other professionally used trailers.

The tyre is supplied separately without a rim. You can choose a steel rim or a stylish aluminium rim from the related products.

The price is for 1 tyre.
