The Finnish broadsheet Moottori has tested winter tyres for commercial vehicles. The test participants included eight models of size 215/65 R16C from different price tier. This is a unique case, as experts rarely test studded light truck tyres. Viatti Vettore Inverno tyres manufactured at the production facilities of KAMA TYRES, (TATNEFT Group) were among the best according to the test results.
Moottori tests were carried out on a snow track with descents, ascents, various turns, as well as on wet and icy asphalt road. Experts evaluated acceleration and braking on dry and wet asphalt, snow, ice, as well as the tyre handling in different weather conditions.
The magazine’s experts noted the highest number of studs in the Viatti Vettore Inverno among the tested models and its excellent results on ice. The tyres also demonstrated high traction on snow and good handling.
“LCV cars are in great demand in the small and medium-sized business segment and are often the main source of income, especially in the field of transportation and delivery. That is why it is a priority for their owners to minimize downtime and reduce operating costs. The light truck tyres manufactured by KAMA TYRES are distinguished by high carrying capacity, durability and fuel efficiency, they will last more than one season and will be a reliable partner on the road," Timur Sharipov, CEO of the KAMA Trading House, said.
The Viatti Vettore Inverno studded winter tyres are specially designed for stable handling and reliable movement of light commercial vehicles in any winter conditions, even the most severe ones. The vehicle’s smooth running on the road in any conditions is achieved due to the open transverse sipes located offset relative to each other and the central rib of the tread. More reliable road adherence both on icy and wet road surfaces is provided by the frequent arrangement of sipes across the entire width of the tread, the increased elasticity of the blocks and a 14-row pattern of spikes. Handling and stability of the car even when driving at high speeds is achieved thanks to the special reinforced rows of blocks across the entire tread area. The high cross-country ability in deep snow of even a loaded car is ensured by the SnowDrive technology, according to which special recesses in the shoulder blocks are calculated and designed. Viatti Vettore Inverno tyres are available in the official KAMA TYRES online store - KAMATYRES.SHOP.
