Summer tire Barnaul VLI 10 is designed specifically for the "Niva", a Russian crossover from Togliatti with a factory index of 2121. The model is characterized by balanced operational characteristics, which provides it with excellent popularity. Another reason for the increased interest is the constant modernization carried out by the Altai manufacturer.
High-speed stability
The tire is characterized by stable behavior at high speeds. This is largely due to the design of the central part of the tread. It is formed by three peripheral ribs, each of which is made solid, without any breaks throughout its length. This solution provides them with resistance to deformation and, as a consequence, the ability to quickly and accurately transmit lateral acceleration forces to the steering wheel. As a result, not only the stability at high-speed movement is improved, but also the process of managing the car, which becomes easier and simpler.
Multifunctional shoulder blocks
In the shoulder zones of the tread, there are special bridges that combine the blocks located here into groups of two elements each. This significantly increases their stiffness, both longitudinal and transverse. As a result, several operational properties are improved, in addition to the coupling properties when maneuvering. The most significant of these are the effectiveness of braking and resistance to uneven wear.
Main features of Barnaul VLI 10
- three solid longitudinal ribs in the center improve directional stability and handling, reduce rolling resistance;
- improved traction on wet surfaces is provided by the polygonal shape of the tread ribs in the center and shoulder blocks;
- confident behavior when maneuvering, shortened braking distance is provided by rigid bridges between the shoulder blocks.
