Киров К-181 Баргузин

Summer tire Kirov K-181 is designed for low-tonnage commercial vehicles GAZ. The model is released in one size - 215/65R16. It is characterized by improved coupling properties on slippery surfaces, a long service life, and an increased level of ride and acoustic comfort.

S-shaped tread

The tread pattern features an S-shaped design. It provides the tire with a significant part of the benefits. One of them is excellent coupling properties during longitudinal acceleration. The tread blocks are arranged in such a way that when they come into contact with the road surface, they form very extensive edges - throughout the tread.

Another significant advantage of this tread design is a high level of acoustic comfort. The blocks grouped into five longitudinal ribs are relatively offset from each other. This reduces the level of noise and vibrations.

Long service life

A distinctive feature of the tire is its long service life. It is ensured by several factors. First of all, it is the uniform distribution of the vehicle's external weight over the contact patch, which reduces the impact of the road surface on the tread. This feature is achieved by optimizing the arrangement, shape, and size of the blocks, as well as the tread profile. In the side projection, it has a variable curvature that increases the contact patch area, giving it a square shape.

Improved traction on wet surfaces

The tire tread has a large number of coupling edges. In addition to the blocks, they are formed by narrow slits. When in contact with the road surface, they open, forming high and sharp edges that easily penetrate the water film.
