Tire size is one of the most important parameters that can significantly change the behavior of a car on the road. In our review we will tell you about the permissible tire size on the Grant, as well as what the size of the tires affects during the operation of the car. Let's start with the tire and wheel sizes allowed by the manufacturer.

Old family (until 09.2018)

Factory tire pressure parameters LadaGranta

The pressure in the grant tires of the basic factory configuration, 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) Data are presented in the ratio “kg/cm2”. The pressure in Grant Sport tires is approximately at the same level, adjusted for the dimensional characteristics of the wheel, namely R16.

What other tires and wheels are suitable for the Grant?

A survey was conducted among VKontakte users, asking them to choose alloy wheels for Granta. 42% of participants recommend installing R15 wheels on the Grant. 27% chose R14. Third place (17% of voters) believe that 16 wheels on Grant will look best. The left tire compatibility table is built for 175/70 R13, and the right one is for 185/55 R15:

Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.

Based on reviews from owners, we have compiled a list of compatibility of Lada Granta tires and wheels:

• R14 wheels on Granta can be installed with the following tire parameters: 175/60 ​​R14, 175/55 R14, 175/50 R14, 175/45 R14, 175/40 R14, 185/55 R14, 185/50 R14, 185/45 R14 , 185/40 R14, 195/50 R14, 195/45 R14, 195/40 R14, 205/55 R14, 205/50 R14, 205/45 R14, 205/40 R14 and 205/32 R14.
• R15 wheels on the Grant are installed with the following parameters: 175/50 R15, 175/45 R15, 175/40 R15, 185/50 R15, 185/45 R15, 185/40 R15, 195/50 R15, 195/45 R15, 195/ 40 R15, 205/50 R15, 205/45 R15, 205/40 R15 and 205/32 R15.
• R16 wheels on the Grant are equipped with tires: 175/50 R16, 175/45 R16, 175/40 R16, 185/45 R16, 185/40 R16, 195/45 R16, 195/40 R16 and 205/32 R16.
• R17 wheels for the Grant (the same number voted for R13 wheels); it is recommended to install them with tires: 185/40 R17, 195/40 R17 and 205/32 R17.

Don't forget about the rim width:

When installing tires or wheels that differ in parameters

from those recommended by the factory, you can:

• be refused warranty repair of the chassis;
• be stopped by a traffic police inspector, who has the right to draw up a report on the car’s non-compliance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations;
• fail to pass technical inspection.

The best models for summer

Now let's present several worthy summer models:

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150

The tread of this Japanese tire is developed using a new technology (NANO-PROTECH), which makes it possible to reduce the coefficient of rotational resistance and, as a result, save fuel consumption. Plus, the EP150 turned out to be lighter in weight and almost silent.

Nitto NT860

Another Japanese tire produced in Malaysia. Very soft rubber, perfectly balanced and brakes, thanks to the deep tread, self-cleaning from dirt and snow. With all this, the best thing is the low price.

Kormoran Impulser B2

Serbian Kormoran was developed using Michelin technology. The tire is stable when driving at speed, does not “float” if it gets into a puddle, has excellent grip on the road and is controlled when cornering.

Matador MP 47 Hectorra

The new generation summer tire from Slovenia MP-47 Hectorra performs excellently on both dry and wet surfaces thanks to its asymmetrical pattern with four deep longitudinal grooves.

Tread elements are optimized to the maximum, which improves acceleration and braking efforts and reduces noise levels.

Conclusion

Which winter tires are best for a car, or what to put on it for the summer, is, of course, up to the owner to decide. It all depends on what climate zone you have to use the car and what roads you drive on. And our information is designed to understand the characteristics of certain models and the advisability of their use.

What does the size of tires and wheels affect?

It is worth noting that it is better to choose winter tires for the Lada Grant as narrow as possible. Thus, the pressure of the car on the road surface will be greater, and therefore the grip on the road will improve. Also, do not forget that wide tires are more sensitive to the ruts on the road, and low-profile tires will transfer even the smallest bumps to your butt.

The smaller the unsprung masses

(this includes a lot of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you put wheels on a car that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced by 0.2 seconds.

Attention! Installing larger wheels may lead to problems with ABS and ESC calibration (the systems may not work correctly).

Let us remind you that for safety and to increase the service life of your tires, you should maintain the recommended pressure in the Lada Granta tires.

Features of tire selection for Lada Granta

Regardless of the quality of standard tires, the driver will need an additional set of wheels with the onset of the next cold weather, because hard treads will not be able to keep the car on the road in an emergency. And the poor quality of roads in certain regions of the country often causes the need for emergency tire service, including the installation of new tires to replace irretrievably lost ones. All this means that the driver is often faced with the problem of selecting tires for his “iron horse” and he must adhere to the following rules:

• Seasonality and the nature of the vehicle’s operation should be taken into account. If the driver is preparing to buy a winter set of wheels, then he should consider the size R13-R15, because this tire on the Granta has a fairly high profile, allowing the tire to provide reliable grip not only on the sole with the treads, but also on the side surface cord.

Winter tires for Lada Granta
At the same time, the high profile provides a sufficient air buffer, which has the effect of natural shock absorption of the spring part. This factor increases driver comfort in the cabin, and also reduces wear on the vital systems of the car base - the hub, suspension, steering rod and ball joints. In addition, the diameter of the R15 rim is ideal for installing all-season tires, which eliminates the need for the driver to annually re-shoe the car for the next 2-3 years during normal operation.

Note!

When it comes to high-speed driving on asphalt in the summer, the high profile can become deformed when cornering. Experts advise using tires with low sides and increased dimensions - R16 or R17. By helping to reduce rolling resistance, the operation of the power unit will be as efficient as possible, and the driver will be able to squeeze the maximum permissible speed out of it.

• Also, given that this car is a budget car, and its retail price starts at 420 thousand rubles. as of February 2022, not every car enthusiast is ready to spend large sums on its re-shoes. After all, an R17 tire produced by brands such as Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli or Continental can easily cost 10 thousand rubles. per product or more, so drivers often resort to domestic analogues.

Viatti tires for Lada Granta

The most popular Russian tire manufacturers, whose products are compatible with almost all cars of the AvtoVAZ concern, are factories such as Nokian with a branch in the Leningrad region, Viatti - an Italian brand produced on the basis of the Nizhnekamskneftekhim enterprise, Matador, Amtel and many other companies , based in different regions of the Russian Federation.

• The last thing you should pay attention to is the rubber outsole, as it must have a pronounced tread in accordance with its purpose. In the case of the winter studded version, the metal elements must sit firmly in the thickness of the rubber compound and be made of stainless alloys. The high quality of the treads, carefully thought out by the engineers, not only provides the best grip on the road surface, but also reduces noise levels, which is extremely important for the comfort of the occupants.

Important!

When choosing wheels, owners should pay attention to the originality of the brand and purchase products only from authorized retail outlets.

What is the tire pressure

Tire pressure is a relative value, but for tires of different sizes it should be almost the same. The pressure indicator does not mean the amount of air, but the ratio of air in the tire to its total volume.

According to the factory parameters, the pressure in R13 tires should be 1.9 atmospheres, while for R14 and R15 tires the pressure must be maintained at two atmospheres.

Features of wheel sizes for the most popular VAZ models

Among several dozen VAZ modifications, the most popular models over the entire 50 years were only 2 of them, as can be judged by the number of copies sold. The wheel sizes for these cars had the following parameters, which varied depending on the year of manufacture, technical equipment and equipment of the car:

VAZ is the latest modification of the “classic”, produced on the plant’s conveyors for 30 years: from 1982 to 2012. During this time, it never changed its appearance, and the disc bolt pattern was the same - 4x98 with a central hole diameter of 58.6 mm.

The width of the rim varied slightly depending on the model year.

If in 1982 the plant produced models with tire dimensions ranging from 5J to 5.5J, then at the end of production the concern increased the permissible size to 6J.

The radius of the wheels invariably varied from R13 to R15, which made it possible to alternate them by season, periodically changing the side profile of the tire, or immediately use all-season tires with a diameter of R14.

The VAZ 2107 tire size invariably consisted of only 3 main parameters - 175/70/R13, 185/60/R14 and 185/55/R15. The last of the listed parameters was actively in demand among lovers of fast driving on smooth city roads.

On a note.

As for the R13 rubber, it allowed the driver to feel as comfortable as possible when driving over rough terrain, as well as in winter, when the high cord profile took part in adhesion to the road surface. But the most popular parameter remained the universal size R14 and the largest number of tires were sold in this dimension.

If we look at the concern’s earlier cars, we can see that the wheelbase of the Zhiguli has remained virtually unchanged for more than 40 years. This leads to moral backwardness of the technical equipment of the plant's products. At the same time, the lack of new developments greatly reduces both the speed of release from the assembly line and the cost of engineering equipment, which leads to a very attractive retail price for the vehicle.

VAZ 2114. Produced in a smaller range - from 2001 to 2013. The car was just a restyled modification of the classic “nine”. The legacy of the outdated model did not affect the high popularity of this Lada, and all the wheels that were installed on hubs in the basic version had the same traditional bolt pattern 4x98, DIA 58.6 mm.

European standard bolt pattern 4x100 for Lada X-Ray

Like the bolt pattern of the VAZ 2114, the width of the wheel rims was not much different from the “seven” and fluctuated between 5J – 6J for the entire production period. As for radius, the concern has completely eliminated the 15-inch diameter from the factory equipment, without prohibiting drivers from installing this parameter as an option. The bolt pattern of VAZ 2114 wheels in the current size also made it possible to install standard 4x100 wheels in accordance with the sizes usual for Europe.

Not a single Lada model has ever looked aggressive; the hallmark of the product was practicality and reliability in operation. The concern did not use extreme overhang indicators, and the wheels were always hidden under the body arches. The average ET limit values ​​for both VAZ 2107 and 2114 were ET25...35 mm, and deviations from this characteristic obligated drivers to install additional mudguards on the side parts of the body and change the design of the hubs, making them more durable to avoid deformations.

The bolt pattern of the VAZ 2114 wheels, as well as all other dimensions of the hub and disks, were used on the brand’s followers - Kalina and Priora. With the arrival of new management at the domestic concern, this parameter ceased to exist altogether, since the plant had a new orientation to the West and possible import of products to the nearest CIS countries.

Stamped and cast: which is better?

Corolla wheels: tire and wheel sizes, bolt pattern, drilling

According to the production method, wheels for LADA Kalina are divided into two global categories: stamped (from steel sheet) and light alloy (forged, cast or combined).

For the first option, manufacturing involves welding individual structural elements of the product. The technology is simple, which has a positive effect on the cost of disks.

Among the advantages of “stampings” we note:

• reliability;
• maintainability (tendency to eliminate bent areas);
• durability.

• it is difficult to perform auto-balancing;
• significant mass of products;
• lack of design possibilities (same type);
• low corrosion resistance.

Now let's touch on light alloy options. Such discs are more progressive products that are made from light metal alloys such as magnesium and aluminum, etc.

When choosing the kit you like, we recommend paying attention to the indication of the primary metal included in the material structure. If magnesium predominates, then the discs are light in weight, but the strength properties of this option are far from ideal

Aluminum gives the product strength and fluidity. This translates into good resistance to cracking under impact loads. Wheel alignment will also likely be required.

If magnesium dominates, then the discs are light in weight, but the strength properties of this option are far from ideal. Aluminum gives the product strength and fluidity. This translates into good resistance to cracking under impact loads. Wheel alignment will also likely be required.

To give preference to any of the above options, we recommend that you undertake an approximate analysis of the condition of the roads on which your LADA Kalina will travel in the future.

• availability of a wide range of models;
• light weight, which has a positive effect on handling and dynamics;
• good dissipation of heat generated by brake units.

Bolt pattern of the new “Granta” FL

"Granta" FL is the latest generation of "Lada" of this model. It appeared at the end of 2022 and received some external and internal differences from the previous version. But at the same time, the bolt pattern of “Grants” FL remained unchanged.

"Lada Granta" FL

Drilling has the following parameters: 98*4. 98 mm is the diameter of the circle on which the mounting holes are located (d), and 4 is the number of bolts required to install the wheel. These values ​​are the same for all vehicle trim levels. They are identical for this car in any body type: sedan, liftback, hatchback and crossover.

A little about wheels

Tires - Today, these are one of the most high-tech products on which safe and comfortable movement by car directly depends. There are a large number of tires on the market today from many different manufacturers. They consist of a frame, a protector and a breaker layer between them. And also the toughest part of the tire - the bead, which is designed for reliable fixation and sealing on the rim.

Disks - In the modern world, a wheel includes two parts: the rim - which is a surface closed in a ring with sides on which the tire is fixed, and the disk - which is a support for the rim with holes for fixing the entire wheel to the hub, most often using bolts or hairpins. Currently, there are the following types of discs: stamped, cast, forged, composite and combined.

Is it possible to install wheels of size R16 205/55 on the Lada Granta

Wheels with a radius of R16 and dimensions of 205/55 are not suitable for both the regular LadaGranta configuration and the Sport model. Due to their too large diameter, they will fit too tightly, which when driving will lead to rapid wear of the treads and reduced maneuverability of the vehicle. Owners of Lada Granta recommend installing 195/50 or 205/45 with a radius of R16.

How non-standard wheels can affect

Wheel parameters can affect vehicle handling and comfort. But it should be taken into account that the better the car’s handling, the worse this affects the comfort of the suspension.

The smaller the rubber profile and the larger the disc diameter, the better the Granta’s handling. In addition, fuel consumption increases, steering accuracy increases, but the noise of the tires and the vehicle's resistance to aquaplaning do not change. Of course, a large disc will negatively affect comfort.

Tire and wheel width can also affect handling, stability and increased tire wear. The width of the tires will also negatively affect the vehicle's resistance to hydroplaning, but can increase traction, provided the road surface is dry. Ideally, asphalt.

The width of the tires plays virtually no role in improving or deteriorating comfort.

A smaller rim means the use of rubber with a larger profile. Consequently, the wheels will be softer, which means increased comfort. But you need to understand that such a configuration does not fit in with improved handling.

Do not forget that the size of the disk can also affect the dynamic performance of the car. The manufacturer uses tire and wheel sizes at which speed and acceleration will be the highest, and the load on the engine and transmission will be minimal.

Deviation from these dimensions entails certain consequences - reduced dynamics, inaccurate speedometer readings and much more.

The width of the rims and their diameter can affect the suspension geometry. Therefore, after installing large wheels, it is necessary to do a wheel alignment.

What is a bolt pattern

The bolt pattern, or drilling of the new “Granta” FL, is the number and location of the mounting holes for the bolts in the disk, as well as their diameter. Since these indicators must match the dimensions of the guides on the car hubs, they are very important. After all, it won’t be possible to install disks on the machine otherwise. Therefore, they must be taken into account when selecting these parts.

These sizes differ for different car models and brands. However, for some machines they may be the same. It is noteworthy that this parameter does not affect the choice of disk radius or the selection of tires.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

• On what roads will the car be primarily used?
• Do you need increased cross-country ability?
• How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
• Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for Lada Granta Cross 2022?

3 types of rims:

• Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
• Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
• Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

What is the tire pressure?

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:

• deterioration of management;
• uneven tread wear.

Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:

• increased fuel consumption;
• rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
• the car becomes less maneuverable.

An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.
