Overview of models of all-season tires "Kama", reviews of owners
Content
Hardy slopes are protected from heavy mechanical impacts. Tires "Kama-208" provide the owner with comfortable driving, as in winter they confidently go through the snow, in summer they actively resist hydroplaning. Rounded sidewalls help to make smooth turns.
One of the worries of all car owners is to change the shoes of the car twice a year. For this, there are two sets of rubber with different characteristics. The procedure for changing wheels, however, is not to the liking of all drivers. Based on the needs of users, skate manufacturers began to produce an alternative option - all-weather tires. All-season tires "Kama" became a sample of products in this category, reviews of which overwhelm car forums.
Models of all-season tires KAMA
The operational requirements for seasonal skates are different:
- Winter tires should contribute to the elastic and soft running of vehicles, provide the required coefficient of wheel adhesion on icy and snow-covered roads. Therefore, the pronounced blocks and spikes of such rubber rake the snow well.
- Summer stingrays are resistant to heat, and due to the drainage grooves in the tread, they resist hydroplaning. In the cold, summer tires tan, then the car loses driving performance.
In the production of seasonal skates, different rubber compounds and other protectors are used. All-seasons combine all of these properties. The inner blocks of the tread are massive, they do not allow the car to slip in the snow. The second half of the profile is less pronounced, filled with grooves to drain water from the contact patch with the road.
All-season rubber models "Kama" and user reviews are presented to the owners for better orientation in the choice of skates.

I went to "Kame 217" (summer tires). My review is excellent. Really good tires. When I changed the car, I took the Kama-208. I don’t practice extreme driving, but with the 208th model it’s scary even on a wavy road. It feels like you're losing control of the car.

Reviews of all-season tires KAMA
The products of the tire complex Kama Tires are supplied to 35 countries of the world and have received the international certificate TUV CERT. Russian car owners with experience in riding slopes of a domestic manufacturer are actively discussing the pros and cons of the product. You can often find reviews about Kama-217 rubber.
David:
Living protector. Yes, suspiciously cheap. But I traveled, I was convinced that expensive tires are a psychological self-deception.
Drivers are magically affected by the word "euro", which itself seems to be a sign of quality. However, reviews about the Kama Euro all-weather rubber are ambiguous.
Eugene:
I was seduced by advertising, I bought Kama-Euro-129. The cord wore out within a year. Annoying monotonous increased noise.
Andrei:
The grip is poor both on wet and dry pavement. I categorically do not advise you to drive more than 120 km / h - fly into a ditch.
About rubber "Kama-365" reviews are directly opposite.
Camille:
The impression is that the manufacturer stamps his products on old machines that have served their purpose. Just bad tires. At 90 km / h, a vibration appeared already on the first trip. Thought it was balancing. I went to a tire shop, they looked there - they say that the tires are crooked, they are not subject to balancing.
Anatoly:
Holds the track well in the rain, no noise. Recomend for everybody.
