During its presence on the Russian market, the Kirov K-156 winter commercial tire has been repeatedly modernized. One of the latest innovations was the appearance of studs, which made this model even more versatile. At the same time, its cost remains one of the lowest in its category, which adds attractiveness to such a purchase.
To a significant extent, the universal properties of this model are ensured by the design of the tread pattern, which is distinguished by good performance on various types of road surfaces. It consists of six rows of large blocks, thanks to which the contact patch has significant dimensions, and also has numerous multidirectional gripping edges. At the same time, wide drainage grooves between the blocks provide them with high performance when driving on snow.
Another distinctive feature of the tread of this tire is the design of the central row of blocks. They are connected by rigid bridges, which has a positive effect on directional stability and fuel efficiency. In addition, this solution gives the tire predictability and reliability.
It is also worth noting the presence of a factory-studded design in this model. This significantly increases its effectiveness on icy roads. In addition, the studs are arranged in such a way that when driving, they generate a minimum of noise and vibration, which increases the level of comfort.
