In addition to its attractive price compared to foreign competitors, the Kirov K-205 winter tire has a number of other advantages. A very beneficial combination of price and quality is due to the use of extremely effective technical solutions in its design, which will be discussed below.
Optimized tread pattern
To a large extent, the tire owes its performance on winter roads to the original design of the tread pattern. It is characterized by a V-shaped arrangement of elements, which have a complex polygonal shape. Thanks to this, the contact patch has an increased number of grip edges.
Confidence in adverse weather conditions
Another advantage, due to the use of a V-shaped tread, is the configuration of the drainage system. The grooves that make it up are arranged at an angle and against the direction of movement. At the same time, their increased throughput is ensured by their curved shape. In combination with the large internal volume of the drainage channels, such a design allows you to move confidently in bad weather.
Studs and lamellae
Reliable grip on icy roads is achieved due to the numerous studs and lamellae that work as a single whole. At the same time, the studs are arranged in such a way that during movement, they form six continuous rows. In turn, the increased efficiency of the lamellae is ensured by their polygonal shape and significant extent of the grip edges they form.
Main features of Kirov K-205
- polygonal shape of blocks improves grip on snow;
- studs and lamellae provide confident behavior on icy surfaces;
- drainage grooves arranged at an angle and against the direction of movement improve the reliability and stability of grip properties in bad weather.
