Киров К-177

Summer tire Kirov K-177 is designed for compact passenger cars. The model is characterized by balanced characteristics, providing it with the absence of clearly expressed "weak points".

Double longitudinal rib in the center

When driving at high speed, the tire is distinguished by high stability and directional stability. These properties are largely due to the design of the central longitudinal rib. The element has a composite structure, being divided into two parts by a wide drainage groove. Both have significant resistance to deformation from the impact of lateral acceleration forces.

Composite blocks

All tread blocks of the tire are combined into groups of 5 or 6 elements each. This solution made it possible to improve several characteristics at once. First of all, this is the coupling on a wet surface. The block groups contain a multitude of differently directed edges, thanks to which the tire demonstrates reliable coupling, especially on a slippery surface from rain. At the same time, the drainage grooves and lamellas located between the elements provide high resistance to aquaplaning at almost any speed.

Main features of Kirov K-177

- double longitudinal rib in the center improves directional stability, gives the tire's reactions to the driver's actions high accuracy and speed;
- composite blocks increase the contact patch, provide it with numerous and differently directed gripping edges;
- wide shoulder blocks reduce the length of the braking distance, prevent skidding during maneuvering and turning;
- voluminous longitudinal drainage grooves and numerous adjacent lamellas and channels minimize the risk of aquaplaning at almost any speed.
