All-season tire Omsk O-147 is designed for the commercial vehicle GAZelle Sobol. In addition to the possibility of year-round operation, the model is characterized by confident behavior in adverse road conditions, resistance to abrasive and uneven wear, and reduced rolling resistance.
Increased contact area with the road
The tire is distinguished by reliable traction, especially on dry pavement. This is due to several factors. The tread profile in the side projection is rounded with a very small radius, which makes the contact patch significantly wider. Its area is also increased due to the massive size of the tread blocks.
Improved traction properties on wet pavement
The use of tread blocks of massive size provides them with very long edges. They allow the tire to effectively grip the slippery wet surface. The curved shape of the edges enhances the traction properties, and their location at an angle to the direction of movement additionally improves the directional stability. The numerous lamellas located parallel to the edges of the blocks have similar functionality.
Reliable predictable behavior in complex situations
The shoulder blocks of the tread have features that improve handling, giving the tire's behavior reliability and predictability in complex situations. These elements are made massive and have high structural rigidity, which optimizes the distribution of load on the contact patch, and also guarantees the invariance of its shape and size when subjected to lateral acceleration forces.
Main features of Omsk O-147
- confident behavior on dry pavement is provided by an increased contact patch;
- reliable traction on wet pavement is achieved by the significant length and multiplicity of block edges and lamellas cut in them;
- rigid shoulder blocks improve stability in turns, give the tire predictable behavior in complex situations.
