What tires to put on a grant in winter. We select tires and wheels for the frets of the grant. Factory characteristics of tires and disks for LadaGranta

So, continuing with my Lada Grants, I decided that it was time to change my shoes, since the average daily temperature had long since dropped below the 6-7 degrees Celsius recommended for changing shoes in Russia.

Choice winter tires for Grants

Initially, I wanted to buy winter studded tires Nokian Nordman 4 for your Lada Granta with parameters recommended by the manufacturer 175/65 R14. The price is quite acceptable - from 1930 rubles apiece (I met up to 2500 rubles). Judging by the reviews on the thematic forums, grantmakers successfully use Nokian Nordman for their cars. Moderately noisy tires that hold the road well, etc. In general, high-quality budget winter tires for our car. But...

By the will of fate, it so happened that when I arrived at one store (after calling!) For Nokian, it was not available. But... The seller in a nearby specialized store strongly advised me to pay attention to winter tires for Matador MP 50 Sibir Ice Grants with the same recommended sizes for the Norma configuration - 175/65 R14. The price is comparable to the previous option.

The seller was so convincing that I took the Matador without hesitation. German quality plus great reviews"live" buyers (namely on the Grant). Continental tread pattern (one to one!), very high quality studding were clearly in favor of the Matador. Plus, the rubber is also moderately noisy with excellent grip.

Manufacturer's tire requirements:
pressure check a couple of times a month
the first 500 km avoid skidding (the so-called running-in)
replacement at an average daily temperature of + 7 degrees
store tires on rims horizontally, without rims - vertically, turning monthly
avoid hitting bumps in the road.

Review from the Internet about Matador MP 50 Sibir Ice:

At first, when I took it, I was tormented by doubts (just like mine). I thought that the spikes would fly out in a month, or hernias would appear. What is the result? Departure of the first winter as in Christ's bosom. Even ice, even snow - the road keeps excellent. Rubber is not noisy. After the winter, all the spikes are in place (correctly run in), there are no hernias. I constantly caught myself thinking that I liked the former Hakapellita (darling) less. Good tires for normal driving.

And what about "sticky"?

As an option for operation in my region, I dismissed immediately. Although I read a lot about it positive feedback, and the "neighbor" said that he even had a classic and had never had problems on the road with her.

In a word, I installed the Matador Sibir Ice winter studded tires on my Grant. In terms of price-quality ratio, in my understanding, it surpasses its closest competitors. I put it in the service - for 900 rubles for factory stamped wheels. He put on cute caps on top (see photo below).

I drove around the area. I did not notice a special (strong) difference in noise between my native all-weather and the new studded one. Naturally, the spikes are a bit noisier on asphalt. I'm slowly rolling. And then it will be seen. Buying is not for one season.

Mileage 2202 km. Flight is normal.

PS. Now my review :) To date, I have driven 2250+ km on this rubber. Excellent road holding: that icy asphalt that snow. It is a bit noisy on the asphalt, but you can talk at 140 km / h without raising your voice)). In the snow - there is no price at all. Grant herself behaves very confidently on the snow (), and even on the spikes of Siberia Ice, it generally rushes like a tank.

Lada Granta Liftback is equipped with 175/70/R13 tires. This class of tires, although it is considered universal, but except for asphalt, it is better not to use it anywhere due to inefficiency, insufficient directional stability.

Which winter tires to choose for Lada Granta

Tires for the winter on Grant Liftback budget segment: 3000 - 3500 rubles. The products of the Chinese market, where the price of a tire is 2000 rubles, do not deserve attention due to the poor quality of workmanship. If you have funds, buy more expensive analogues, where the cost of a tire is from 4,500 rubles.

The manufacturing quality of tires is average, the service life does not exceed 55 - 60 thousand km. Many motorists, after buying a car, “change shoes” for better tires.

The question “which tires can be put on a grant” cannot be answered unambiguously. As is the case with other cars, the selection of tires and rims is a priority for every driver, because correct selection ensure a comfortable and safe ride.

In order to choose the right size and find out which tires are best for the Lada Grant, you should analyze many factors that directly affect the choice.

The sphere of influence of tires and wheels

To understand which tires are the best fit for a grant, you first need to find out what the size of the tires and rims of the car affects. Specialists with service stations note that when replacing tires, one should be guided by the fact that the difference in outer diameter is minimal.

The selection of tires affects the following features of the operation of the car:

brake and traction characteristics;
transmission;
fuel consumption;
atmospheric emissions.

Increasing the radius of the wheel, tire and rim has the following effect.

Legend: + - improvement, - - deterioration, 0 - no change.

Tire size changes will definitely make a difference in handling precision. vehicle. As the volume of the tire becomes larger, the scale of the space in contact with the roadway increases. This provides ample opportunities for maneuverability.

Factory characteristics of tires and disks for LadaGranta

According to the factory specifications original tires on a grant from the factory have a radius of R14 and R13.
R14 is a fairly classic option for small cars. Both wheels and tires with these dimensional characteristics are budget-friendly and it is quite easy to find them on the market. The situation is similar with R13. Therefore, when analyzing which disks are suitable for a grant, you should keep this moment in mind.

Dimensional characteristics of tires and wheels that are also suitable for LadaGranta
To date, all AvtoVAZ models with front-wheel drive are equipped with R15 size discs. And although the original Lada Granta R15 tires with this wheel model have dimensional characteristics of 185/55, they will also fit well with 175/70, 185/60 and even 195/55 tires.

The pressure in the tires of the grant of the basic factory equipment, namely R13 and R14 at partial load looks like this:
R13 (175/70) - 0.19/0.19 (1.9/1.9)
R14 (175/65) - 0.20/0.20 (2.0/2.0)
The data are presented in the ratio "kg/cm2".
The pressure in the tires of the grant sport is approximately at the same level, adjusted for the dimensional characteristics of the wheel, namely R16.

Constant monitoring of the level of tire pressure ensures the safety of movement and is the prevention of tire wear. If the pressure is at a lower level (below 1.9 atmospheres), then the side parts of the tread, due to the uneven distribution of air while driving, will wear out much more. When pumping tires (above a value of 2.0), the middle part of the tread will suffer, which is also fraught with its consequences.

Scroll negative consequences from uneven pressure distribution in the tire:

the scale of contact with the road is expanding;
fast and uneven wear protector;
decrease in vehicle controllability;
potential danger of creating emergency on the road.

To correctly measure tire pressure, you need a pressure gauge. Measurements should be carried out some time after the ride, so that the air in the tires has time to cool down after intense heating during driving. The optimal value indicator (for R13 - 1.9, for R14 - 2.0) is indicated as a number that can be found on the gas tank or car door. It is important that during the use of the pressure gauge, air does not escape from the wheel.

The resulting value must be compared with the optimal one and pumped up to the desired one. For wheels that are parallel and on the same axle, the pressure level should be identical.

Is it possible to install wheels with dimensions R16 205/55 on Lada Granta

Wheels with a radius of R16 and a dimension of 205/55 are not suitable for both the standard configuration of LadaGranta and the Sport model. Due to their large diameter, they will fit too tightly, which, when riding, will lead to rapid wear protectors and reduce vehicle maneuverability. Lada Grant owners recommend installing 195/50 or 205/45 with a radius of R16.

Winter tires for LadaGranta

The selection of winter tires for the Lada Grant should be carried out based on the characteristics of the terrain on which you have to drive. If the roads are not cleared enough, and winter threatens with frequent thaws replacing frosts, then in this case studded tires should be used.

Tires for winter use must make soft contact with the road surface, which will provide a reliable degree of grip even on packed snow, and the base of the tread must be rigid for precise control. Firms Goodyear, Pirelli and Dinlop Winter have the necessary dimensional characteristics for the Lada Grant, namely in the range from R13 to R16.

Winter tires will also require a break-in to allow them to sit firmly in their seats. For a quality break-in, you will need to drive about 500 kilometers. When running in, try to avoid sudden braking and slipping. To improve traction, it is also recommended to choose tires with a narrow profile.

Summer tires for LadaGranta

quality summer tires must provide a high level of grip in both dry and wet pavement as well as smooth running. Tires should have a wide profile, and rubber with dimensional characteristics R14 185/60 or R14 175/65 is best suited for this.

Brief checklist - How to buy tires for Lada Granta

1. Search the right tires follows, keeping in mind the dimensional factory specifications. The size of the selected tires must match these data.
2. Pay attention to the tread pattern. It has a lot to do with ride comfort.

3. Pay attention to the width options. It is the width of the spot that converges with the roadway that affects the acceleration and deceleration of the car.
4. Special attention should be given to the bore diameter. Tires that are too high or too wide can damage the suspension, tires that are too narrow will increase the load on the bearings.
5. It is important to consider the index top speed and load index.
6. Treadwear, Traction, Temperature, and MaxPressure data provide information on tire factory wear, braking performance, temperature resistance, and tire pressure limit, respectively.
