Барнаул КФ-97 16,5x70x18 149/145A6 PR10 TT

Like most tire products produced by the Altai Tire Plant, the Baraul KF-97 truck tire has a fairly specialized area of application. Its main "target audience" is tractor trailers and other agricultural equipment used in various works. This model has very good operating properties, ranging from a long service life to a high carrying capacity, which can reach 6 tons per axle.

Increased contact patch size

When creating this tire, the company's specialists took into account the specific operating conditions, which was reflected in a number of design features. First and foremost, these are the increased contact patch sizes, which were achieved due to the robust carcass made entirely of steel cord, as well as the flat tread profile. This combination of design features made it possible not only to maximize the contact patch size but also to optimize the distribution of external load on it. The ultimate result of this technical solution was not only a significant increase in the carrying capacity but also an improvement in resistance to uneven wear, which had a positive effect on the tire's service life.

High braking efficiency

Another aspect that was given special attention during development was braking efficiency. This indicator is at a very high level, thanks to the tread design. Its shoulder areas contain a large number of transverse drainage grooves of complex polygonal shape. Due to the created edges of adhesion, this model is characterized by increased efficiency during deceleration.

Main features of Baraul KF-97

- high reliability and carrying capacity, thanks to the reinforced steel cord carcass construction, wide contact patch, and mechanically resistant rubber compound;
- good directional stability and braking performance are ensured by the rigid central rib and numerous transverse adhesion edges.
