All-season tire Barnaul Forward Professional 301 BK is one of the novelties of the domestic manufacturer, known for its products intended primarily for commercial wheeled vehicles of Russian production. Like the original version without the abbreviation BK in the name, this model is designed for vehicles of the GAZelle and Sobol families, produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant. Its distinctive feature is the absence of a camera, which is reflected in the name, where the abbreviation BK is composed of the first letters of the phrase "without a camera".

Exceptional strength

The transition to the production of Barnaul Forward Professional 301 BK tires with a tubeless design led to significant changes not only in their design but also in the production technology. The domestic company was able to master the production of a solid metal frame, which is one of the main features of this model. Thanks to the presence of such a structural element, it demonstrates significantly better operational characteristics than its original version with a camera. First and foremost, this is the increased carrying capacity, reduced rolling resistance, and increased resistance to uneven wear.

The possibility of operation throughout the year

As mentioned earlier, this model is positioned by the manufacturer as all-season, i.e. it can be operated throughout the year. This significantly increases the economic efficiency of its use. The universality of application of this tire was achieved due to two factors. One of them is the rubber compound. The use of the latest technologies and materials made it possible to give the tread the ability to retain elasticity even at very low temperatures, as well as resistance to high-temperature exposure and abrasive wear.

The second factor that ensured the possibility of operating this tire both in summer and in winter is the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern. It is distinguished by an original design that combines the features of winter and summer models.

From winter tires, the tread pattern of this tire "inherited" numerous tread blocks, each of which has several lamellas. These tread elements form a large number of gripping edges during movement, which in turn provides the tire with excellent traction on snow and ice.

In turn, summer tires "shared" a rigid central longitudinal rib and a scheme for arranging tread blocks, from which seven longitudinal ribs are formed. Such a combination gives this model a number of important advantages - reduced rolling resistance, excellent directional stability, clear and transparent reactions to steering wheel turns.

Excellent resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning

The block structure of the tread pattern of this tire made it possible to equip it with a very developed drainage system. It consists of numerous transverse and longitudinal channels passing between the numerous tread blocks. They are distinguished by a significant internal volume, which is ensured not only by their large width but also by the significant depth of the tread pattern. Thanks to these design features, the drainage system of this model easily copes with the removal of almost any amount of not only water but also snow slush from the contact patch, ensuring reliable traction even in the most unfavorable weather conditions.

Main features of the Barnaul Forward Professional 301 BK tire

- tubeless design based on a solid metal frame, distinguished by exceptional strength, allowing the tire to withstand even very harsh operating conditions without problems;
- the possibility of using throughout the year is ensured due to the universal tread pattern, thanks to which the tire demonstrates excellent performance in any road and weather conditions;
- numerous blocks and lamellas provide excellent gripping properties on slippery roads from rain and snow;
- seven longitudinal ribs give the tire good directional stability, reducing rolling resistance at the same time;
- the developed drainage system, thanks to the block structure of the tread pattern, is able to remove almost any amount of water and meltwater from the contact patch, giving confidence on the road even in the most unfavorable weather conditions.
