Киров К-131

The Kirov K-131 commercial tire is designed for trucks used in regional transportation. It is distinguished by its versatility of application, as it can be installed on any axle, as well as its high economic efficiency. The model is characterized by reduced rolling resistance and a longer mileage before replacement.

Stable traction on dry pavement

The tire is distinguished by its significant contact patch size. Its area is due to several technical solutions. One of them is the original design of the tread pattern, which contains large elements. Another factor that allowed increasing the tire's contact surface is the tread profile. It is practically flat, which made it not only wide but also practically rectangular, more resistant to the impact of lateral acceleration forces. This significantly improves the stability of the traction properties when maneuvering.

Acceleration and braking performance

The tire's tread does not contain conventional blocks. Instead, the transverse traction edges are formed by wide Z-shaped grooves. They are distinguished by their significant length, and their shape further enhances the efficiency of the tire's operation during acceleration and braking, especially on wet pavement.

Reduced rolling resistance

The transverse drainage grooves are arranged in such a way that a wide solid longitudinal rib is formed in the central part. This tread element, having significant stiffness, provides the tire with reduced rolling resistance, which improves its fuel efficiency.

Key features of the Kirov K-131 tire

- stable traction on dry pavement due to the large contact patch and practically flat tread profile;
- high efficiency during acceleration and braking is ensured by the long transverse edges formed by Z-shaped grooves;
- low rolling resistance is achieved by the design of the central part of the tread.
