East European Tyres

Due to exclusive tread pattern the tyre may be used on highways
and in severe climate and road conditions, as well as on
earth-roads, providing reliable performance in any weather.
The tyre demonstrates excellent traction and haulage capacity
on dry, wet and snow road, excellent cross-country ability and
self-purifying ability on fine ground and in off-road conditions
combined with improved wear-resistance and durability.
Design advantages:
1 . Section geometry is the closest to that of a tyre section
loaded with inflation pressure, in order to reduce shearing
between the carcass layers at inflation;
2 . The optimum curve of the tread cap allows to reduce heat
build-up in the center of contact providing even tension distribution
in the elements of the tyre;
Tread pattern advantages:
1 . The solid central rib ensures improved stability and handling
during straight movement;
2 . Optimum combination of grove and raised element width,
as well as extension of rows from center to the edge of the
tread cap, ensures even distribution of specific pressure in the
contact surface;
3 . Cross grooves, which extend to the edge of the tread cap,
ensure better self-purifying ability of the tread.
The road tests of O-168 tyre on KAMAZ-65115 vehicle demonstrated:
-improvement of properties:
- up to 3 .3% reduction of fuel consumption;
-improvement of acceleration intensity by (2 .6 and 2%) up to
(60 and 80) km/h respectively;
-slowdown path extension by 3 .4%;
-breaking distance reduction by 2% on dry road;
-equal properties:
-maximum speed;
-external noise level at acceleration and overrunning;
- breaking distance on wet road;
- stability and handling in critical movement modes.
