When purchasing designs for Matiz, it is necessary to clarify in advance which disks are installed on the car (iron or aluminum). Based on these results, one should technical specifications manufacturer. As a rule, expensive products are made of quality materials. They practically do not wear out and do not lose their original appearance.

When calculating the recommended tire size, the vehicle manufacturer is guided by all technical characteristics. This list includes mass, acceleration dynamics, maximum speed, tendency to side skids and other parameters. When installing the recommended size, the car owner will be able to ensure the most comfortable and safe ride in any difficult situations.

Wheels for Matiz

For Daewoo Matiz in the “Vehicle Operation Manual” there are 2 types of standard size:

• 155/65R13;
• 145/70R13.

The first option is most often found in the Matiz configuration.

Decryption:

• 155 - measured in millimeters, indicates the width of the product. Determined by the distance between the outer sides of the sidewalls of an inflated tire.
• 65 - means profile height - percentage. Accordingly, the height of the profile is 65% of the width (155 mm).
• R is not a radius, as many people think, but just a designation of how the cords are located in the tire carcass. The designation "R" is a tire with a radial (Radial) cord.
• 13 - the diameter of the rim of the disc (inner diameter of the tire), measured in inches (1 inch = 25.4 mm).

How to choose discs

Choice of designs for Matiz

Choosing products for your car is a difficult task. Replica discs on " Daewoo Matiz» are significantly different from the manufacturer. Such designs can lead to rubbing against the car body.

Note!

It is not recommended to use standard sizes tires in the variant if there is a replacement of products. This applies to those developments whose size is 145/70 R13 or 155/65 R13 on tires with parameters 175/60 ​​R13. An alternative solution is to replace the steering gear assembly.

There are non-standard sizes that can also be used as a substitute standard sizes on "Matiz":

• 155/70 R13 - this rubber is designed for standard designs. Their operation is carried out both with wheel arch liners and without them.
• 165/65 R13 - rubber is installed on standard structures.
• 165/70R13- given size very sensitive to structural overhang.

Without fender liner, the front wheels on the inside slightly touch wheel arch with the wheels turned out as much as possible, but only if the car drives into some kind of obstacle (for example, a curb).

The main differences between stamped and cast auto disks for Matiz

The difference between stamped and cast wheels

Stamped designs have gained popularity not only because of the affordable cost, but also for their qualities.

Before releasing their own products for sale, engineers conduct numerous studies.

The laboratory checks the strength of the product, the reaction to impacts, endurance, test drive. Given all these details, the manufacturer Daewoo Matiz guarantees car owners of this brand a high level of safety.

The production process is carried out using modern equipment. Experts regularly introduce the latest innovative technologies for maximum results. A high quality anti-corrosion coating is applied to the structure. protective covering. Thus, alloy wheels for the Daewoo Matiz are completely protected from the high content of reagents.

Alloy wheels R13 on "Matiz" have original design. The list of products is very diverse, a wide range of models and sizes allows the use of designs on cars of almost all brands. Alloy wheels on the car "Daewoo Matiz" reduce fuel consumption.

Forged steel products provide reliability, high quality, strength.

Dimensions and parameters

How to install wheel products

For the Daewoo Matiz car, several sizes of wheels are used. This is mainly due to the fact that in the summer, tires with a smaller profile width are installed on the car, and with the advent of winter, vice versa.

In any case, tires with factory sizes have an identical length in terms of outer diameter. Thus, the speedometer readings and mileage counters are not distorted.

According to the car's operating manual, it is recommended to use two sizes of rubber for Matiz:

• 145/70/R13;
• 155/65/R13.

In conclusion, it should be noted that it is not recommended to install tires with non-standard sizes if the owner of the vehicle uses tires 175/60/R13 instead of the standard 155/65/R13 or 145/70/R13. In this case, it is required to completely change one of the mechanisms of the steering system.

Wheel size for Daewoo Matiz

It is worth noting the fact that when performing calculations for wheel sizes, the manufacturer takes into account the features and performance characteristics of the Daewoo Matiz car:

• starting acceleration;
• maximum speed;
• dynamic indicators;
• tendency to drift;
• controllability;
• braking.

As a result, when using the wheel sizes recommended by the manufacturer, the car owner is provided with a comfortable and safe ride, regardless of weather conditions and the track.

According to the car manual for Matiz, it is recommended to use two sizes of rubber:

• 145/70/R13;
• 155/65/R13.

Now let's take a closer look and analyze one of the specified sizes:

1. The first number 145 indicates the profile width of the tire in mm. That is, this is the distance between the sides of the tire of the inflated wheel.
2. The second digit 70 shows the height of the profile in percentage to the car. Thus, the first size indicates that the profile height is 70% of the width of the 145 mm tire.
3. The Latin letter R denotes the radius of the wheel. According to motorists, this letter indicates the location of the cord threads in the tire structure. Thus, the tire has a radial cord. At this point, almost all types of tires have a radial design.
4. The last number 13 shows the fit of the disc rim, that is, the inner diameter of the rubber. This indicator is measured in inches.

The choice of wheels for Matiz

Korean manufacturers recommend using winter and summer tires with the specified sizes. Advice from car manufacturers: the use of other sizes that are not indicated in the instruction manual may cause damage to the body.

In addition, it is not recommended to install tires with non-standard sizes if the owner of the vehicle uses tires 175/60/R13 instead of the standard 155/65/R13 or 145/70/R13. In this case, it is necessary to completely change one of the mechanisms of the steering system.

Immediately before installation, you must consult with the dealers of the Deo auto center. They can give advice on using wheels with factory settings.

However, there are also non-standard tire sizes that can be used for Matiz vehicles.

According to the reviews of motorists and maintenance specialists, when using tire sizes that do not correspond to the factory parameters, there are minimal touches on the body. Basically, the wheel can touch the fender liner only when the steering wheel is turned to the extreme.

Tire size 155/70/R13 suitable for regular disks. It can be used without or with fender liner as friction against the body is minimal.

For example, maintenance specialists in the Daewoo repair process do not pay attention to the fact that the owner uses non-standard tires, because they know that there are no defects or violations.

Tires with dimensions 165/70R/13 practically cannot be used on Matiz with fender liner. If you install a wheel with such a tire, then 1/4 of it will touch the fender liner and deform it while driving.

After removing these parts, the wheels will touch the arch at maximum turns, but only in those situations when the car drives up a hill or curb. If you do not perform such turns, then tires can be used as an alternative.

Tires sized 165/65/R13 will fit the Matiz as friction against the vehicle body is minimal.

Non-standard wheels can cause problems during the operation of the Daewoo Matiz:

• the total mass of the car increases;
• high fuel consumption;
• additional loads on the suspension and transmission;
• change in braking distance.

Tires and wheels for Daewoo Nexia

Even if the suspension is fully functional on a Daewoo car, but the tires are worn out, this will not ensure safety and reliability at the time of movement. Because damaged or deformed tires do not make good contact with the road surface.

In addition, if the tires have low pressure, then it will adversely affect the straight driving of the vehicle. The situation can be corrected by the installation of new tires and service for maintenance.

Wheel sizes for Deo Nexia

The vehicle owner's manual lists the tire sizes recommended by the manufacturer. If we are talking about installing tires with non-standard sizes, then they can only be used if they are indicated in the Nexia technical documentation.

Factory tire sizes for Daewoo Nexia:

• 165/70/R13;
• 155/80/R13;
• 175/70/R13;
• 175/70/R14.

Custom sizes:

• 145/80/R13T;
• 155/80/R13S;
• 195/50/R15Q;
• 175/65/R14 H.

According to the accepted classification and agreements of car manufacturers, sizes are indicated in inches and millimeters. As for the marking designation, here it is worth highlighting:

• numerical indicators 195, 175, 155, 165, 145, indicating the width of the profile in the unloaded state;
• numbers 50, 65, 70, 80, showing the relationship between the profile height and tire width;
• the letter R indicates the radiality of the tire carcass, and the numbers 15, 14, 13 indicate the inner diameter;
• the letter T indicates a maximum speed of up to 190 km / h;
• Q - maximum speed up to 160 km / h;
• S - maximum speed up to 180 km / h;
• V - maximum speed up to 190 km / h.

These indicators are typical for tires on Daewoo cars Nexia. Based on the calculations, you can choose tires with optimal sizes.

Wheels for Nexia

For various modifications of Nexia, only two types of disks are used. That is, products made of light alloys and steel discs. If we are talking about steel stampings, then the dimensions can be used here:

• 6Jx15;
• 5Bx13;
• 5Bx14;
• 5Bx13.5.

Alloy wheels for the Nexia model with an 8-valve engine have sizes 6Jx15 and are used on tires 195/50/R15V. If we are talking about what the markings mean, then we will give an example:

• the letters B, J indicate the formation of disk flanges according to the technical standards from the manufacturer;
• the letter X indicates the depth of the disc;
• numerical indicators indicate the width of the tire profile from the disk side to the wheel guide;
• numbers 15, 14, 13 indicate the diameter of the disc rim from the beginning to the end of the bead.

The symbols show only the parameters of the disk, but do not provide information about, for example, what size or number of holes is needed to fasten the bolts, as well as their diameters.

Now let's analyze the decoding of the designations indicated on the side of the tire:

2 - pressure;

3 - position;

4 - side profile;

5 - contact surface;

6 - laboratory tests;

7 - manufacturer's code;

8 - tire size code;

10 - date of production and release;

12 - radial tires;

13 - tubeless tire;

Special wheels for Nexia

Special rims are wheel products that do not conform in shape or material to mass production. Therefore, it is necessary to give some recommendations on the use of such disks.

Problems will not arise if the sizes of tires and disks correspond to the technical documentation specified in the car's operating instructions. In addition, if the discs are original from the manufacturer Deo.

Also, do not change the technical documentation if the sizes of disks and tires correspond to factory specifications and the car has wheels with the ABD system. This is deciphered as electronic system locking wheel differentials.

According to the expertise carried out by STVZO, recommendations were added to the technical documentation of the car. That is, the fact was indicated that if the size of tires and disks does not correspond to the operating instructions Deo Nexia, then it is necessary to be guided by the factory parameters.

Since the use custom wheels can lead to violations associated with the deterioration of the steering system, reduced braking distance and destabilization of dynamic performance.

When choosing a wheel, attention must be paid to the ABD application for the wheel system or the laboratory test report.

Safe driving vehicle depends on wheel size. If you correctly approach this issue, then the Matiz and Nexia cars will not only have high grip with the road surface, but also provide comfortable movement.

Daewoo Matiz

Cars come off the assembly line wearing new tires. Machine manufacturer indicates specifications original tires for the model. Information is read from the tire marking, applied in the form of letters and numbers on the side surface of the tire.

You will read below how to correctly find the original OE dimensions, speed index, load and other parameters for Daewoo Matiz cars.

Tire marking

Probably, each of the motorists knows the car and can easily say how many inches the diameter of the wheels is. A reliable source of information is the car's service manual, which lists the recommended tire sizes.

Here is the marking and decoding of the inscriptions on the tire.

Note! R15 is not a wheel radius, as some mistakenly think. R is the radial construction of the cord, while the number 15 is the diameter of the rim in mm. Accordingly, the diameter of the disk for the tire will also be 15 inches. As you can see, the bus is full of information for the right choice.

Choosing a tire according to the original is perhaps the right way to choose a size, pick up the speed and load index recommended by the factory. Preference, of course, is given to branded tires, but they, as a rule, are more expensive.

Tire selection table for Daewoo Matiz 1.Oi and 0.8.Oi.

Generation	Those. specifications	Tire

For late models, there are 2 choices - 13 and 14-inch tires.

How to choose tires for Daewoo Matiz

Knowing original dimensions tires, as well as cargo and speed indexes, go to the store. We read the information from the sidewall of the tire, see the figure above. For example, you need summer tires for Daewoo Matiz 2015 1.0i. Take the original data from the table.

Driving safety is influenced by the choice of tread pattern: symmetrical universal, symmetrical directional used by most drivers, and asymmetric for active drivers. At symmetrical tires tread grooves divert water from the contact area with the road surface, therefore quiet ride at a speed of 60-80 km/h guarantees driving safety according to wet asphalt and short stopping distance.

The asymmetric pattern has a different direction of the grooves on the inner and outside, which ensures stability when changing the direction of movement in case of a sudden obstacle. Even at a speed of 80-100 km / h, the car does not skid. An arrow is drawn on the side surface of the tire, showing the direction of the pattern in the direction of the car. At asymmetrical tires written: inner side and the outside.

Summer tires

Summer tires are built for speed and agility. This is achieved by the tread pattern and rubber properties that improve driving stability on the road. Summer tire tread patterns have fewer grooves and put more rubber in contact with the road.

They are designed for maximum grip on the road. Summer tires have shallower tread depths that provide stability as wear limits are approached.

For Daewoo Matiz fit 13" tires:

• Triangle Group TR256 155/65 R13 73S;
• Tigar Sigura 155/65R13 73T;
• Dunlop SP Sport LM704 155/65R13 73H.

They have the same dimensions, but the speed index is slightly different: 170, 180, 210. For a Triangle Group TR256 155/65 R13 73S tire, depending on the region, pay 1700-1800 rubles, and for Dunlop SP Sport LM704 - 2800-3000 rubles. Probably, who drives a Matiz will choose a tire at the lowest price.

14 inch tires for Daewoo Matiz:

• Tiger Sigura 155/65R14 75T;
• Triangle TR978 155/65R14 75H.

These are 14 inch wheels. The choice will most likely be for Triangle TR978 155 / 65R14 75H, because their price is almost 2 times lower than that of Nokian Hakka Green 2. You choose. The criteria are known.

Winter tires

In some regions with mild winter use all season tires. This compromise is necessary to provide acceptable performance in light winter conditions and ensure long tread life.

All season tires able to provide traction in winter, but are not the best tire for extreme winter conditions driving. For winter trips in the city, it is hardly worth buying studded tires. But if you have to drive in winter on a snowy and icy road, then you should think about spikes.

Winter tires provide superior braking and cornering performance in winter temperatures and conditions: ice, snow, slush, cold dry pavement. To ensure reliable grip at temperatures below 7 ° C, winter tires have rubber compound that stays soft and flexible. Aggressive tread blocks cut through snow and ice. Such a tire is also called a friction tire. For conditions with cold temperatures and heavy, difficult snow, winter tires provide reliable performance and security. The snowflake sign indicates that the tire is winter.

Winter studded tire Gislaved NORD FROST 200 155/70 R13 75T - belongs to the premium class, costs between 2500-2700 rubles, but this right choice for studded tires. Japanese Yokohama ICE GUARD IG50 155/65 R13 73Q is the perfect solution for 13" wheels. Friction winter tire with asymmetrical pattern protector.

Read the release date carefully. New tires, but with a long period of time are cheaper. Don't let yourself be fooled. Native Korean tire Hankook Winter IZ W 606 2015 release; per set 4 pcs. give 8000-9000 rubles. Look at the year of issue and ask for a discount.

The Uzbek-made car Daewoo Matiz is an urban "subcompact car". A small, nimble car is quite unpretentious in operation.

However, do not be disrespectful of seasonal replacement rubber. High-quality and correctly selected tires are, first of all, a matter of safety on the road.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The manufacturing plant equips Daewoo Matiz with steel-cord all-weather tires. According to their characteristics, they are comparable to winter wheels. By changing the tread and structure of the rubber, the traction force with the road surface is increased. All-season tires are marked with the letters “M+S”. The main parameters are indicated by the following signs:

• R - indicates the radial type of construction;
• 155/65 - the ratio of width and height
• 13, 14 – disk rim diameter.

There is a tag on the driver's side door with the recommended tire specifications: maximum load capacity, size and recommended tire pressure.

The manufacturer sets two sizes:

• 155/65 R13 — wide tires, summer version;

• 145/70 R13 - narrow, more suitable for winter.

Daewoo Matiz owners are faced with the fact that the range of tires of the 13th radius is small. And if 155/65 R13 can still be found at retail, then 145/70 R13 is sold only to order. In addition, often many motorists are unhappy with the height of the ride height. Therefore, they seek to find an alternative to standard sizes.

What custom sizes can be installed

The most popular option is 155/70 R13. These tires have 7 mm more tread than standard rubber. They fit well into the arched gap, do not interfere with movement. As a rule, there are no problems with the purchase, because almost all dealers have this product.

Two more sizes are popular with motorists: 165/65 R13 and 165/70 R13. These models are taller and wider than the 155/70 R13. To install 165/70 R13, you will need to dismantle the fender liner.

If the car is under warranty, it is allowed to change tires up to size 175/60 ​​R13. However, the manufacturer recommends sticking to standard sizes. Installation non-standard tires may affect handling and result in loss of vehicle control. When installing 175/60, a steering change is required.

When replacing, it is important to consider that it is forbidden to install tires on one axle different sizes, designs, with different tread patterns.

The use of non-standard dimensions affects the operation of the vehicle in the following ways:

• increasing burden on brake system and suspension;
• fuel consumption increases;
• engine operation mode is changed.

When replacing, it is necessary to make a convergence and adjust the level of pressure in the tires.

For long-term and high-quality operation of the car, it is important to control the level of pressure in the wheels. It is recommended to check at least once a month. The pressure is measured in a cold tire before or 3 hours after the trip.

• with the number of passengers 1-3, the norm is 2.1 kg / cm 2 for each wheel;
• with the number of passengers 4-5, the norm is 2.1 kg / cm 2 on the front wheels and 2.3 kg / cm 2 on the rear.

Rapid tread wear in the center indicates excessive tire pressure. This may result in tire damage. Signs low pressure it could be considered:

• rapid wear of the protectors on the sides;
• increased tire temperature;
• squeal of wheels when turning;
• heavy steering.

Reduced pressure leads to cracking and rupture of the tire, to damage to the cord.

It is important to remember that one axle must have the same tire pressure. Differences in values ​​can cause loss of control, yaw when accelerating, and skidding when cornering.

Based on the reviews, you can understand which tires from which manufacturer are better.

In addition, thanks to the rich assortment of tires at the moment, each owner of Daewoo Matiz can easily choose for his car exactly the tires that will fully meet his requirements and wishes.

The inconspicuous mini-car Daewoo Matiz has firmly registered on the streets of both small towns and cities of many thousands. Compact, economical, inexpensive - these are the main components of its success with domestic motorists, especially women. All the positive factors of this machine are even more revealed with proper care.

Prevention technical inspection is not only a timely change of oil and filter elements. Special attention it is worth paying attention to the condition of the tires, because this is one of the main details responsible for the safety of not only the owner, but also other road users. So the question is which one to choose. tires for matiz, is very relevant, moreover, at any time of the year.

Choosing wheels for Daewoo Matiz

Most of the reviews speak of the unsatisfactory quality of the discs that are standard on machines at the factory. This is due to their poor deformation resistance due to the use of insufficiently hard metal.

Parameters of the factory disk 4,5x13 ET45:

• diameter - 13 inches;
• width - 14.5 inches;
• hub diameter - 69.1 mm;
• disc offset - 45 mm;
• fastening bolts - 4 pcs.;
• the distance between the bolts is 114.3 mm.

The last two digits should be considered first when choosing a replacement. Most suitable options disc replacements:

• 5.5x14ET38;
• 6x14ET35;
• 5.5x13 ET38.

The use of other types is associated with the need for structural changes in the chassis. A good option is the installation of cast alloy wheels, but it can crack when going through a decent hole. best quality branded products differ, but they will cost accordingly.

Typical tires for a Daewoo Matiz car and their parameters

The minicar is available in three trim levels, so the types of tires that the factory supplies to it are somewhat different:

• package M - 145/70 R13;
• package MX and Best - 155/65 R13.

The first type of tires belongs to the most affordable price category, for this reason it is installed on the initial model in the line. At the same time, finding a similar size for sale is very difficult. In addition, 145 tires have a number of negative properties:

• reduced ground clearance;
• unsatisfactory exterior;
• poor vehicle handling.

For domestic roads, this is clearly a bad choice, all coating defects are transmitted to the body with little or no damping. In this case, it remains to resort to more wide tires on Daewoo Matiz, which will give a certain result in improving the technical performance of the car.

Before making a choice the right tire, you should know what the symbols 145/70 R13 mean:

• 145 - tire width in mm;
• 70 - tire height as a percentage of its width;
• R13 is the disk size.

Alternative replacement

It is possible to install non-standard tire sizes:

• 165/65R13;
• 165/70R13;
• 175/60R13;
• 185/50R14.

The list can include tires with the index 155/65 R13, which will easily take the place of the standard 145th. The fenders will not interfere with its free rotation. A clearance of 1.5 cm will also be added, which is quite significant for a “baby”.

This cannot be said about 165/70 R13, these tires depend on the offset of the disk and will touch the fender liner, and when driving in wet snow they can completely block the wheel. You will have to remove them, but even such a measure will not save the front wheels from rubbing against the wheel arch when turning.

Using atypical tires on Matiz, albeit slightly, but affects the increase:

• fuel consumption;
• suspension loads;
• motor operating mode;
• load on the braking system.

Thus, the conclusion suggests itself - the most suitable replacement for regular tires is 155/65 R13 and 165/65 R13.

When buying tires, many motorists are wondering what their specifications are depending on the season. On this basis, tires are divided into:

• winter;
• summer;
• all-weather;
• off-road;
