The popular off-road tires Cordiant Off Road survived the second generation, eliminating the previous shortcomings and seriously improving not only patency, but also comfort and safety indicators. As
I went to Uzbekistan to test the new Cordiant Off Road 2 tyres, where the natives dream of the perfect asphalt, just as we dream of the Coca-Cola sanctions. I just drove away from the nearest big city and the roads ended. But the local off-road, I tell you, even the most notorious jeeper will envy.
Usual bumps and ruts primers for Uzbekistan are nothing, as the rugged terrain here is nothing more than clues. Yes, not anyway, but flavored with huge stones, hefty gullies, almost steep slopes and ravines turned into dusty mud baths. It is most for testing real off-road tires, and at the same time the nerves of the off-road conquerors who believe in themselves.
Beneath the extension of my back, I found myself with an uncompromising Japanese Isuzu D-Max system “all-terrain vehicle” shod with brand new Omsk-made Cordiant Off Road 2 tyres. He, in fact, became a guide to the world of furious off-road, from which fillings fly out of his mouth, and from his stomach – a recently eaten lunch. However, I knew what I was getting into. To go!
First of all I roll out on a paved area, as there are still enough roads of reasonable quality near Tashkent. And if the “rubber” of the first generation was reflected on the defects of the canvas by vibrations in the steering wheel and annoyed by unpleasant noise at high speed, now these shortcomings are a thing of the past. Thanks to the engineers for the solid tread blocks, which have definitely improved the tenacity properties on hard surfaces, and the optimized alternation of steps in the pattern have had a fundamental influence on the noise level. More precisely, its absence.
I will say more: a frame pickup in its new “slippers” drives not only quietly, but also extremely smoothly, without violating the comfort of the driver and passengers. It is not for nothing that the developers eat their own bread – thanks to the unique composition of the rubber compound, it seems that you are driving a passenger car, and not a large horse-drawn SUV. compensation!
The further we are from civilization, the more interesting everything becomes. Mountain passes, rocky terrain, hard quagmire – yes, if you get stuck here, then you should go for a tractor for at least a day. However, it only seems so – the eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing. Whether I’m on a “Niva” or – forgive me, Lord! – “Uazike”, then I would probably have been put together in parts, because the shaking here is such that blows with the top of my head leave holes in the ceiling. But the feeling that there is nothing insurmountable along the way does not go away.
And it’s true: the indecently large side lugs of the Cordiant Off Road 2 are made in the form of lugs of different heights, which increase traction characteristics and protect the frame from damage and deformation. To force difficult areas of weak bearing soil, which I had visible-invisible along the way, a more elastic sidewall was designed, which allows the tire to row when the internal pressure drops to 0.5 atmospheres. Previously, Cordiant Off Road only allowed you to bleed 0.1 BAR.
And compared to the first-generation model, the tread of the tire has been reduced in width, so that the wheel quickly digs into the hard ground in a rut drenched in rain or deep mud. It digs but doesn’t dig, turning off-road driving into adventures again without the need for rescuers to be called.
In addition, the grooves of the tread pattern are designed not only transversely in the direction of travel, but also longitudinally, creating large long channels running at an acute angle to the pattern’s axis of symmetry. If in a simple way, such a solution contributes to effective cleaning of the tire from dirt. Which I was personally convinced of, slowly but surely overcoming the next hurdle. During the test drive, I had to completely submerge the skidding wheels in a flooded ditch, and storm the slopes slippery with layers of mud, and climb the rocky bumps that jutted out. In general, emotions over the edge. In addition, none of the fillings in my oral cavity were damaged, nor did the overcooked food break out.
We have to admit that Cordiant Off Road 2 tires are really capable of a lot. And in some cases even more than the driver expects. But even with them, with insufficient experience and lack of common sense, one cannot sit worse than Vladimir Putin in the president’s chair. As they say, nothing is impossible.
