TYRE SC328

Product Overview

The Westlake SC328 is a high‑performance summer radial tyre designed for light commercial and passenger vehicles. With its 215/65 R16 size and 109/107R load rating, it delivers reliable traction on dry and wet roads while maintaining durability under moderate loads.

Key Specifications

• Size: 215/65 R16
• Load Index: 109 (maximum weight per tyre)
• Speed Rating: 107R (up to 210 km/h)
• Tread Pattern: Radial construction with a symmetrical tread layout for balanced wear.
• Construction: 8‑ply radial, providing stiffness and stability.
• Season: Summer / M+S (Mud + Snow) capability for light winter conditions.
• Type: Radial, offering improved fuel efficiency and ride comfort.

Performance Characteristics

The SC328’s tread design incorporates wide circumferential grooves that efficiently evacuate water, reducing hydroplaning risk. The sidewalls are engineered for minimal flex, enhancing steering response and cornering stability at higher speeds.

Under wet conditions, the tyre maintains a strong grip thanks to its rubber compound blend optimized for quick heat dissipation. In dry weather, it offers excellent traction due to the high‑friction tread blocks that maintain contact with the road surface.

Applications and Vehicle Compatibility

This tyre is commonly fitted on:

• Light commercial vans such as the Renault Master 3, Master 2, and Tràfic 2.
• Passenger cars including the Dacia Duster SUV and its second generation.
Light trucks and lorries that require a durable summer tyre with moderate load capacity.

Construction Details

The SC328 features an 8‑ply radial structure, which provides a balance between strength and flexibility. The radial orientation of the cords reduces sidewall flex, improving handling precision. The tread compound is formulated to resist wear while maintaining grip across a range of temperatures.

M+S Capability

While primarily a summer tyre, the SC328 includes an M+S (Mud + Snow) designation. This indicates that it can be used in light winter conditions where snow or mud may be present, though it is not rated for heavy snow or ice. The tread pattern’s wide channels help channel water and slush away from the contact patch.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Balancing: Ensure proper wheel balancing to avoid vibration at higher speeds.
• Tire Pressure: Maintain recommended pressure (typically 2.3–2.5 bar) for optimal performance and fuel economy.
• Rotation: Rotate the tyres every 10,000 km or as per vehicle manufacturer guidelines to promote even wear.
• Inspection: Check tread depth regularly; replace when it falls below 1.6 mm.
