Барнаул Forward Arctic 511 175/80 R16 88Q

Winter passenger tire Barnaul Forward is released in a single size, 175/80R16. However, this should not be considered a disadvantage, as it was specifically designed for all-wheel drive cars "Niva", as well as other models based on them. Among the key features of this tire, it is especially worth highlighting the excellent off-road performance in deep snow, durable sidewalls, and the traditionally democratic cost of domestic tires.

S-shaped tread pattern

Since, in addition to high off-road performance, the tire required a number of other abilities, domestic tire manufacturers preferred to use an S-shaped symmetric non-directional tread pattern. It is distinguished by universal properties on any type of road surface with a high level of acoustic comfort and reduced rolling resistance.

Z-shaped tread blocks

One of the "chips" of this model is the tread blocks made in the shape of the letter Z. Such a configuration has many faces and angles, thanks to which the contact patch, regardless of the driving mode, always has a large number of edges in contact.

Good directional stability

All tread blocks of the Barnaul Forward Arctic 511 are grouped into 4 longitudinal ribs, including the shoulder areas of the tread. Such a arrangement provides the tire with excellent directional stability, which is very important, especially when driving on slippery roads.

Excellent off-road performance

As mentioned earlier, the tread pattern consists of many separate blocks. It is they that provide the tire with excellent off-road performance even in viscous and loose soils. In such conditions, the ground-gripping elements formed by the blocks of the shoulder areas of the tread come to the fore. Protruding from the sidewalls at different distances, they allow you to confidently overcome even difficult areas of off-road without getting stuck.
