Reasons to Buy Falken Tires
Special tires and tread patterns provide safety, stability and endurance of aggressive driving at high speeds, both on paved roads and off-road. Falken racing tires- Optimum combination of wear resistance, reliability and durability. Rubber has improved adhesive properties, ultra strength and resistance to very high and low temperatures. The use of sports silica allows you to provide the necessary balance of stiffness and elasticity, as well as reduce the rolling resistance of the tire, which entails a reduction in fuel consumption. Carefully designed layouts and the geometry of the Falken tread blocks affect low noise and vibration. And the drainage systems formed by these elements provide quick drainage, while improving the adhesion quality and resistance to aquaplaning and slushing. Winter tires are equipped with slats for better stability and cross-country ability on snow and ice.

Motorcycles from the USSR
Motorcycle factories in the USSR was no less , than the car. Some famous throughout the Union - "Iz", "Minsk", "Ural", while others were known only in those regions , which directly produces. Today in the review are 10 Soviet motorcycle factories.
Most of the USSR motorcycle factories did not survive the dashing 1990s, having gone bankrupt against the backdrop of market competition with more advanced imported products. But others survived and today are beginning to gradually reborn from the ashes.
"Izh." The Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant is primarily known for its weapons production, and from 1929 to 2008 it produced motorcycles that were very successful and in demand in the USSR. This was the first mass production of motorcycles in the new state; At first, several prototypes were made, and since 1933 Izh-7 went into series. The picture shows Izh Planet-2 (1964), one of the most popular plant models.
"Minsk". Minsk Motorcycle and Bicycle Plant (MMVZ) was founded in 1945 and is still operating. In 1951, the first Minsk M1A motorcycle went into series. Today, the brand has an export name M1NSK and a rather large gamut of models - sports, road and enduro. In the picture - “Minsk” M103, produced in 1962-1964.
Ural. The Irbit motorcycle factory today is literally one of a couple of factories in the world producing heavy motorcycles with a side trailer. The factory was founded in 1941 and once made the Urals millions. He survived the 1990s and today produces small series of very beautiful motorcycles in retro styling, mainly exported. A fan of the Urals is, for example, Brad Pitt. The picture shows the handsome Ural-CT of the 2016 model year.
"Dnieper". The Kiev motorcycle plant was founded in 1945 and has not yet been nominally liquidated, although production was stopped several years ago. The first model was a K-1B Kievian light motorcycle. In the late 1950s, the plant tried to produce cars, but not for long. And in the picture - the M-72 motorcycle, which was produced by the Kiev factory according to the Irbit documentation from 1950 to 1953. At that time, the plant had not yet used its own Dnepr name for its models.
"Tula." The Tula Machine-Building Plant has existed since 1879 and, over its long history, has produced almost everything in the world (mainly weapons). But in 1953, it launched the production of bicycles, and three years later - scooters. Today TulMash no longer builds motorcycles, but its products - Tulitsa, Ant, Tourist - entered the history of Soviet motor industry. The picture shows the famous TGA200 “Ant” cargo motor scooter.
"Kovrovets." The Degtyarev plant in Kovrov is an arms factory, but since 1946 he has also been making motorcycles under the Kovrovets and Voskhod brands. Today, production is suspended. The picture shows Kovrovets K-175 (1957).
