Киров К-170

Summer tire Kirov K-170 is designed for commercial vehicles of the "Gazelle" family and special equipment based on them. It is characterized by good traction on dry and wet surfaces, fuel efficiency, and a long service life.

Tread with a "classic" design

The tire is equipped with a tread having a symmetrical non-directional design. The classic pattern for commercial tires has a number of important advantages, due to various factors. One of them is the presence of numerous blocks, small in size but having a complex shape. Due to this, each of these elements forms an increased number of edges, which significantly enhances the traction properties, especially on slippery surfaces.

Another significant advantage of the tread with this design is the arrangement of its forming elements. It largely optimizes the pressure of the tire on the road surface, which reduces the risk of premature wear.

Tread profile

The durability of the tire is also largely due to the tread profile. The radius of its curvature is chosen so that the contact patch is maximally wide and short at the same time. In essence, it has a rectangular shape, which, on the one hand, increases the service life of the tread, improves traction and handling, and on the other hand, reduces rolling resistance and noise level.

Main features of the Kirov K-170 tire

- a symmetrical tread pattern is effective on wet surfaces and additionally increases resistance to wear;
- an optimized tread profile increases the tire's service life, reduces noise level and fuel consumption, and improves traction;
- numerous lamellas reduce the braking distance.
