Киров К-175

Summer tire Kirov K-175 is an excellent choice for owners of inexpensive compact passenger cars operating in urban conditions. This model is characterized not only by an attractive cost but also by a number of high technical characteristics. First and foremost, this is good traction on wet roads, durability, reliability, and fuel efficiency.

Tread pattern with open design

A significant part of the above advantages of this tire is provided due to the features of the design of its tread pattern. It is distinguished by openness, which is expressed in the presence of a large number of individual blocks. They are characterized by massive sizes and a quadrangular shape. On the one hand, this significantly increases the size of the contact patch and, together with it, the traction on dry pavement, and on the other hand, it ensures the even distribution of the load on it, which, in turn, leads to stable and predictable handling and resistance to uneven wear.

Multiple lamellas

Another feature of the tread design of this tire is the presence of a significant number of lamellas. They significantly improve the traction properties of the blocks on wet roads, forming a multitude of additional traction edges. In addition, the lamellas contribute to improved resistance to the aquaplaning effect. When in contact with the road, they open and direct water from the contact patch to one of the nearby drainage grooves.

Key features of Kirov K-175

- increased performance of the drainage system due to numerous lamellas and S-shaped cross grooves, which contribute to the acceleration of the water removal process from the contact patch;
- open design of the tread pattern with large quadrangular blocks provides excellent traction on dry roads, stable and predictable handling, and high resistance to uneven wear;
- optimized profile shape of the shoulder areas increases the tire's stability and its traction when maneuvering.
