A car is not just a means of transportation, but also a luxury item, so attention to the technical component and functionality is required on the part of the driver. Must be done regularly technical inspection, change expendable materials and change tires according to the season.

Conventionally, all rubber can be divided into winter and summer tires with a characteristic tread pattern, tire composition and its main technical parameters. In addition, quality is considered an important property, since not every manufacturer can guarantee the reliability and practicality of their products.

The Lada Kalina car is a combination of reasonable cost, practicality and functionality, and therefore the consumer receives many technical advantages. Below is the table possible sizes tires on this vehicle.

Car manufacturers Lada Kalina tried to work on technical part, so now the consumer receives a large range of options and offers. There are three options for car tires:

1. The standard "Zhiguli" version is car tires size 175/70R13. This is a classic that will always be in fashion due to the combination of its attractiveness, practicality and technical features.
2. The second option is more suitable for VAZ cars - 175 / 65R14, and such tires are very common on Lada Kalina, since sophistication and sophistication are emphasized in this way.
3. The third standard version tires for Lada Kalina cars are 185 / 65R15.

All other tire options cannot be called standard, so they are not always suitable for Lada cars, as they combine some inconveniences as part of the subsequent application. An important point is that the Lada car does not always tolerate experiments, so it is better to use the classics. But there are certain non-standard options that have the right to exist.

What custom sizes can be supplied

Not standard sizes winter and summer tires acceptable on Lada Kalina, if you choose them correctly among the entire range provided. At the moment, manufacturers have tried to expand the boundaries of their offerings in order to recommend potential customers. There are such options for non-standard options for winter and summer tires:

1. The R16 is a large-diameter wheel that raises the car's suspension a little, so the ride is soft and smooth.
2. Small radii are an opportunity to lower the vehicle, while emphasizing its practicality, but it is not recommended to use the car in impassable terrain at such a low “landing”, since there is a possibility of damage to the front and rear bumpers.

Summer tires differ from winter tires in that they remain stable on the track, despite the increased surface temperature, which heats up the rubber and can result in its sticking to the surface. In winter, it is important to ensure good grip on a slippery track, while preventing the car from “skidding” on a poorly cleaned road surface.

What is the tire pressure

The Lada Kalina car, like any other, requires careful technical preparation, and the tires must be pumped up to a certain level in order to maintain maneuverability, practicality and safety on the track. An important property is also considered that it is possible to adjust the level of pressure depending on the terrain, while creating characteristic technical conveniences in this case.

The correct choice of tire pressure is a guarantee of their safe and practical use. Normal, that is, medium pressure is the best option for maneuverable driving to obtain practicality and comfort when driving. If the wheels have low pressure, then maneuverability is reduced and the car when driving on high speed can go off the track, creating characteristic hazards.

If we talk about very high pressure, then it can lead to cracking of the tire, so the motorist requires careful attention to technical parameters. The car consists of different devices and materials, and therefore special attention to detail is required in this case, and therefore special attention to the main points is necessary.

Overview of the best summer and winter tires

Car tires require special care when choosing, and that is why care is needed here. Lada Kalina puts forward its own requirements for car tires, so it is important to consider the points individually when choosing winter and summer options.

Basic summer tires

Nokian Hakka Green 2 is a popular summer tire that perfectly combines quality, reliability, practicality and functionality. Reasonable cost and quality from manufacturers are the main advantages.

Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is the second most important option, the cost of which is an order of magnitude higher than that of Nokian, but at the same time a slightly different quality, literally inferior by a couple of points.

Formula Energy is an option that is almost half as expensive as the previous one, but is in no way inferior in quality. With a limited budget, this rubber option will be ideal.

Hankook Kinergy Eco 2 are famous summer tires for cars, and they combine quality, reliability, attractiveness and affordable cost. All this became the basis for the development of popularity. But, as practice shows, there are certain differences in quality, so it is difficult to call such rubber durable.

good year Efficient Grip Performance is a combination famous brand and high enough cost because of this, so there is a need for rational consideration of options. It is also important to note that the quality, as practice has shown, is slightly different from current offers.

Basic winter tires

Right choice winter tires for Lada Kalina cars - this is an opportunity to get practicality and safety when driving. If we talk about the main options for the appropriate quality, then it is worth highlighting the following models:

Continental ContiIceContact 2 – famous model, which was able to conquer its consumer with high quality and reliability.

Avatyre Freeze is a studded domestic model designed for harsh road surfaces.

Sava Eskimo Stud - Polish Tires High Quality at a reasonable price.

Aeolus Ice Challenger is a Chinese tire model that perfectly combines value and technicality.

Yokohama iceGUARD iG55 are Japanese tire models that have been able to prove themselves on Lada Kalina cars.

As a result, it must be said that Lada Kalina car tires are an ideal combination of reasonable cost and reliability, thanks to which the consumer receives many technical conveniences. But it is important to carefully consider the choice, since there are really a lot of offers on the modern car market.

When it is necessary to replace the disks with Kalina, the question arises which ones to choose - the same factory ones or not. Cast irons often look more attractive, updating the overall look of the car, but how practical is it? What should you pay attention to when choosing?

Characteristics of regular disks of different configurations

Models of the first generation of Kalina are equipped with products of 14 and 13 inches. The light-alloy version was released with a diameter of R14. With this reduced tire profile, it is also possible to install R15 (as they did in the sports version).

For all modifications of the first generation sedan, hatchback, station wagon, sport models produced in 2004–2013, the following dimensions were used:

• wheels 5J on 13 ET40, tires suitable for them - 175 / 70R13;
• 5.5J for 14 ET37 - 175/65R14;
• 6J on 14 ET37 - 185/60R14;
• 6.5J for 15 ET35 - 195/50R15;
• 6.5J for 16 ET45 - 195/45R16.

For all modifications of the hatchback, station wagon, cross, second generation sports (since 2014), the following types of disks and tires were installed:

• 5.5J on 14 ET35, tires - 175/65R14;
• 6J on 14 ET35 - 185/60R14;
• 6J for 15 ET35 - 185/55R15;
• 6.5J for 15 ET35 - 195/50R15;
• 6.5J for 16 ET35 - 195/45R16.

The "norm" and "standard" packages of the second generation do not have factory alloy wheels. In the luxury package, the buyer can choose cast R14 and R15.

Which disks can be changed factory

When products are purchased not from those offered by the manufacturer, the radius of the wheel should be taken into account, it should not differ much from the regular one. It is necessary to take into account the year of manufacture of the car and its equipment. The parameters of the wheels are absolutely independent of the shape of the body: whether it is a sedan, hatchback or station wagon.

When selecting discs for Kalina, you need to know the number of mounting holes and the diameter of the circumference of their placement (drilling, LZ * PCD) - 4 * 98. The diameter of the main hole must match the diameter of the vehicle hub (DIA) - 58.6. Departure values ​​(ET) must be selected as recommended by the car manufacturer. Thus, for the first generation models 1117, 1118, 1119, wheels from R13 to R16 inches are suitable; width 5–6.5; ET 25–38; DIA 58.6; LZ*PCD 4*98. The following parameters are suitable for the second generation 2192 and 2194: R from 14 to 16; width from 5.5 to 6.5; ET from 25 to 35; DIA and LZ*PCD are similar.

Properly selected rims for a Kalina car mean safety on the road, reduced fuel consumption, and extended transmission life.

Steel or light alloy: which is better and why

Models are divided into two types according to the method of manufacturing. Steel (they are also called stampings) are distinguished by the fact that during production all parts are welded. This simple technology so their prices are low. Positive sides of this option: discs are easily restored even with deep deformations, they have high reliability, durability, repair is simple and budgetary. Negative sides: auto-balancing difficulties, increased weight, the same type appearance(it is possible to modify with caps or paint coating), low corrosion resistance.

Alloy products - modern and more popular, they include aluminum and magnesium alloys. According to the production method, they are divided into cast, forged, combined, titanium.

View	Manufacturing	pros	Minuses
Cast.	The metal is poured into molds, then the frozen surface is processed. This production method makes the structure of the metal grainy.	Low weight.	At long-term operation in the conditions of broken, bumpy roads, microcracks appear that can split the disk with a powerful blow. Repair is expensive, products are straightened on the machine. But after such a procedure, there is no guarantee of reliability during operation.
Forged.	Manufactured by hot forging. The texture of the metal becomes fibrous and durable.	Low weight and high strength.	Issued forged wheels made of aluminum or magnesium (luxury quality, stronger than aluminum, the price is much higher, made by prior order).
Combined.	Cast and forged parts are connected using special bolts.	To be repaired, and the rim can be replaced, and the central part can be left.	A considerable price, which provoked mass fakes - with decorative bolts.
Titanium.	Due to the large weight of the metal during manufacture, the thickness of the discs is reduced.	The most durable.	They have a high price. A small number of models are produced.

When choosing cast specimens, you should pay attention to the metal that is part of the alloy: magnesium - lighter in weight, but with reduced strength; aluminum - less prone to cracking. So what products are best for Lada Kalina? Every driver strives for maximum safety on the road. When choosing discs, you should analyze the condition of the coatings on which the car will be operated, and your driving style.

Advantages of steel disks - in attractive cost. In addition, there is the possibility of recovery after deformation. Upon impact, they do not split, but are crushed, suspension and steering parts are minimally damaged.

Alloy wheels on Kalina have such advantages.

1. A wide range of different models. Additionally, there is the possibility of painting.
2. Low weight increases dynamic parameters suspension, which improves driving safety.
3. The best indicators of heat removal from brake units.

More popular in Europe alloy wheels. On the Russian market, due to the quality of the roads, most drivers choose steel or forged.
