Грузовые шины Омск О-79

The prolonged presence of the Omsk O-79 commercial tire on the Russian market has hardly affected the relevance of its characteristics, even against the backdrop of more modern competitors. This is due to the continuous modernization that has affected all components of its design without exception. Today, this model is a high-tech tire product, the operational properties of which are combined with an extremely attractive cost due to Russian production.

Purpose

The tire was developed specifically for use on PAZ buses and GAZ commercial vehicles of medium carrying capacity. Thanks to the design of the tread pattern, it is universal and can be installed on both the driving and steering axles. At the same time, the manufacturer allows its use in a dual version, limiting the maximum load on the wheel.

Combined carcass construction

One of the key innovations that emerged during the modernization was the combined carcass construction. Its basis is still textile cords, which have a small weight and high strength and resistance to impact. At the same time, a solid metal breaker is located on top of them. This component improves most of the tire's main operational properties. In almost all cases, this is due to the high structural rigidity of such a "substrate". Being little susceptible to deformation effects, this component improves handling, increases the accuracy and speed of the tire's response to steering wheel turns, and reduces rolling resistance, significantly optimizing the load distribution over the tread area in contact with the road surface. It is also worth noting the significant increase in the tire's carrying capacity, which has a positive effect on the economic efficiency of its use.

Optimized tread pattern

The design of the tread part of the tire is developed taking into account the specific features of the operation of commercial vehicles. It consists of four longitudinal ribs separated by wide drainage grooves. Such a arrangement of elements, as well as the absence of breaks throughout their length, provides several advantages at once. One of them is the improvement of traction properties, ensured by a significant contact patch area. In addition, its large width reduces the specific pressure on the road surface. On the one hand, this reduces rolling resistance, and on the other hand, it increases the service life of the tread due to a decrease in the abrasive effect on it, as well as increases the tire's carrying capacity and resistance to impact loads.

Another feature of the tread is the shape of the ribs. It is wavy, due to which the contact patch has additional transverse edges and the acoustic comfort is increased, since such a configuration prevents the occurrence of low-frequency resonant noises.
