Reviews about tires "Kama" 218, 301 and LCV-520 on "Gazelle"
Most car owners note easy balancing and a soft ride in winter. Mileage at least 100 km until completely worn out.
Reviews about the rubber "Kama-218" on the "Gazelle" are contradictory. There are negative comments. Owners discourage buying tires due to constant vibration, rumble while driving, poor grip on wet pavement and ice.
Reviews about tires "Kama-301" are also diverse. Among the positive aspects are good grip with the track, elasticity and long mileage, which is important for regular transportation.
But in winter, the tires begin to buzz and hold the road poorly. Therefore, judging by the owners' reviews of the Kama-301 tires, it will be difficult to drive on these tires for a long time in the cold. They harden and crack quickly.
But the tread wears out quickly, especially on the rear wheels. Spikes fall out already in the first season, and when driving at high speed, a strong hum is heard in the cockpit.
Reviews about the Kama tires on the Gazelle are mixed. The number of positive comments is about the same as negative ones. Most motorists agree that all-season tires are best used only in summer and mild snowless winters. Among the advantages of all models are easy balancing and mostly good traction with asphalt. Cons - high wear resistance and preservation of characteristics only with a quiet ride.
