The size of tires and wheels significantly affects how a car behaves on the road. Each manufacturer indicates the acceptable sizes of tires and wheels; as a rule, this list is limited to several options. We'll tell you what other tires and wheels are suitable for the Priora besides the factory ones and how this will affect the operation of the car.
What tire sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?
The type of tire installed directly at the factory differed depending on the year of manufacture, vehicle modification, and body type. The load index also differed. Therefore, before you start replacing, you should carefully familiarize yourself with all the intricacies of choosing tires. Using rubber similar to the standard one allows you to avoid many difficulties.
One of the first modifications of Lada Priora was equipped with an 80 hp engine. An injection-type gasoline engine was installed. The standard tires are 185 mm wide. At the same time, the profile height is only 65 mm. The wheel diameter is 14 inches. Speed index - T. Wheels of this type were installed at the factory.
For cars with an 86 hp engine. The manufacturer practiced installing 3 different types of wheels:
- 175/65 mm;
- 185/60 mm;
- 185/65 mm.
Moreover, all modifications had wheels with a diameter of 14 inches. Cars with a capacity of 97 hp. With.
equipped with wheels 185 mm wide with a profile height of 65 mm. In recent years, before the production of this model was stopped, the most purchased modification was a car equipped with a 105 hp engine. With.
- 175/65 mm;
- 185/60 mm;
- 185/65 mm.
The standard wheel size is 14 inches. Standard marking is 5.5J×14.
Generation 1
Lada Priora is an updated version of the popular VAZ 2110 model, production of which ended in 2007. Over 1,000 changes were made to the design of the “tens,” beloved by many Russians. As a result, a new family of cars appeared, consisting of 3 representatives:
- "VAZ-2170" - a sedan, the production of which began in March 2007;
- “VAZ-2172” is a hatchback that appeared in February 2008;
- "VAZ-2171" is a station wagon, sales of which began in May 2009.
What non-standard sizes can be supplied?
Installation of disks of other sizes is allowed. It is important to note that before use, you should ensure that there are no compatibility issues. Using wheels of non-standard sizes can cause the following problems:
- breakage of the plastic fender liner;
- damage to mudguards;
- premature wear of the chassis.
Often an installed wheel of a larger diameter touches the inside of the fender liner. Which leads not only to damage to the plastic under the car arches. But also quick wear of the tread. It is advisable to avoid such situations.
A good solution is to “try on” a similar wheel before purchasing non-standard tires. It should not overlap the car body even in extreme steering positions. Otherwise, the installation must be abandoned.
In some cases, after modification, it is possible to install wheels with a diameter of 15 and even 16 inches. However, this can only be done after finalizing the design of the car. The wheel arches will need to be rolled in with a special roller - after which they can be used without any problems, there is a danger of damaging the body.
The car manufacturer suggests the possibility of using wheels of non-standard overall dimensions. It is allowed to install wheels with the following dimensions:
- 195/60 R14;
- 185/55 R15;
- 195/55 R15;
- 195/50 R16.
All tires with the diameters listed above can be mounted without any concerns. Load index – 86. Speed index – T.
The use of 6.5J discs is mandatory. Diameter can be used 14, 15, 16.
What to look for when choosing
Among the main types, 2 will be priority for most - cheap alloy wheels and stamped ones.
Each type of disc has a marking that can tell you more about the features of the models:
- The first thing that appears in the marking will be the number - this is a number that means the width of the disks in inches (for example, 5.5).
- Next comes the letter abbreviation for the modification of the rim edges - B, D, K, J or P. There are more complex options JK, PP.
- There may be an “x” after the edge information to indicate a non-separable design. If the disk is disassembled, then instead of an X there will be a “-”.
- The next marking line will be the diameter in inches. Indicated by a two-digit number. In our case, 14-15 for Priora.
- Next there will be a designation from the catalog about the features of the tire fastening, for example, H2.
- The abbreviation denoting the number of fasteners and their diameter is “number of bolts x diameter of the circle in mm.” This parameter is important for proper mounting of discs to the Priora hub.
- The last 2 designations - the size of the overhang and the size of the central hole - are not particularly important.
What is the tire pressure
The consequences of too high or too low tire pressure are serious - it is necessary to operate the car with well-inflated tires. Regardless of the load, rubber used and diameter, the nominal pressure is considered to be 0.2 MPa. The width of the rim (5J, 5 ½, 6J) does not matter.
Using tire pressures above the minimum has the following consequences:
- quick grinding of the central part of the tire;
- poor handling;
- There is a high risk of the wheel exploding.
Moreover, if a tire bursts while you are not driving, this can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences. For example, if the front wheel on the driver's side fails, the car may drift into the oncoming lane. Which will lead to a serious accident.
Tire pressure should be checked before each trip. It is best to use a special device for this - a pressure gauge. It can be mechanical or electronic.
Many owners specially inflate tires to 1.7-1.8 atm. The main reason is greater ride comfort - thanks to the low pressure, shocks to the suspension are practically not transmitted to the passenger compartment and to the steering wheel. However, low tire pressure causes:
- rapid wear of the tread - it wears down at the edges an order of magnitude faster;
- increased fuel consumption - for every 100 km of travel, gasoline is consumed by 5-15% more.
Operating a vehicle with half-flat tires is dangerous. It is advisable to avoid such practices.
Tires for different driving styles and conditions
There are simply no universal models of tires that would fully suit all driving styles and characteristics. Therefore, the different driving styles of Priora owners require equipping the car with tires with different performance and technical characteristics.
Supporters of an aggressive driving style, when purchasing wide high-speed tires for their Priora, must be prepared for the presence of a certain level of noise in the interior of their car. After all, such low-profile tires have extreme rigidity and read the road surface quite informatively. In addition, driving on such tires on mud or wet dirt roads looks problematic.
The owner of a Priora with a calm driving style is unlikely to spend money on expensive high-speed tires. After all, buying regular soft tires makes it possible for your car to move comfortably and reliably on roads with different surfaces. But the price for comfort in such cases may be the mediocre responsiveness of the Priora in motion or, for example, an increased braking distance.
In any case, it’s up to you to decide which tires to choose for your car. Consider what is most important to you and what you are willing to sacrifice when choosing tires.
The expected operating conditions of the car and knowledge of local roads should help any Priora owner make the right choice.
Review of the best summer and winter tires
For Lada Priora, stores offer a large selection of different tire models. Since models marked R14, R15, R16 are used on most modern cars. It won’t be difficult to choose suitable wheels for winter and summer – separately.
A good solution for summer travel will be the Toyo Proxes CF2. The cost of one tire of this model is no more than 2,200 rubles. Allows you to easily take sharp turns and provides excellent maneuverability.
An equally profitable purchase is BFGoodrich g‑Grip. Despite the low cost (only 2,180 rubles), it performs well on the highway and in the city. The presence of deep slats eliminates aquaplaning.
Conti Premium Contact 5 is the fifth generation of the Continental series. The cost of one such tire is approximately 2,700 rubles. The main advantage of this modification is the ability to travel at speeds of more than 190 km/h and a short braking distance even on wet asphalt.
Nokian Hakka Green is a good option; it will cost the buyer only 2,400 rubles. The tires of this model are perfectly balanced and have a rigid central rib. It provides good maneuverability.
You need to be especially careful when choosing winter tires. The budget solution will be NEXEN 175/65R14 WG ICE PLUS. There are no thorns on it.
SAVA 175/65R14 ESKIMO S3 also do not have studs. However, deep tracks in the tread allow for excellent water drainage from the contact patch. This eliminates hydroplaning.
Rigid sides make the car well controlled on any road. GISLAVED 175/65R14 NORD FROST is equipped with a large number of studs - which significantly simplifies the procedure for moving on icy roads. Even bare ice will not be a hindrance.
PIRELLI 175/65R14 WINTER FORMULA is a balanced tire designed for a maximum speed of 190 km/h and a load of up to 475 kg. The presence of studs evenly distributed over the surface allows you not to worry about braking. GOODYEAR VECTOR 4SEASONS GEN-2 will cost relatively inexpensively - just over 3,500 rubles.
Weather Reactive technology was used in production. Thanks to it, the wheels can easily adapt to any, even the most difficult conditions.
It is important to use suitable tires - this will make the car easier to drive and prevent an accident. Installation of non-standard wheels is allowed. However, in some cases, modifications are required.
Priora bolt pattern: about the wheel bolt pattern on the Lada Priora, its parameters
The bolt pattern of Lada Priora wheels is a rather important parameter when installing a new set of rims. In this case, every car owner needs to know it during selection.
This parameter name is the most common, but sometimes you can also find another name such as drilling. Despite the differences in name, the meaning remains the same.
It is necessary to know it in order to understand how the wheel is attached to the suspension elements.
The bolt pattern of the VAZ Priora corresponds to such brand models as Kalina, Granta and all classic models. This is done to avoid unnecessary confusion among car owners, as well as to reduce the cost of the production process.
What is the wheel bolt pattern on the Priora?
Lada Priora is deservedly one of the most popular and widespread sedans of the AvtoVAZ concern. This is due to the low cost of the model and high driving performance, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of classic models. In addition, there are no problems finding spare parts and components to improve the car, and you can service it yourself in the garage.
Parameter description
The installed rims have a very big influence on the behavior of any car on the road, its stability, steering and other characteristics. Their size and characteristics will determine the safety, dynamic qualities, and appearance of the car.
To select, purchase and install products on a car, you need to have information about their bolt pattern parameters. Knowing them, you can confidently buy and install a set of new disks.
At the moment, for the entire model range you can buy both original factory wheels and those produced by various other companies: both domestic and foreign. For example, the famous Russian brand “K&K” has an agreement with the manufacturer and produces a special line for Lada models.
New products created in an individual design will help perfectly decorate the appearance of the vehicle. However, the most common reason for replacement is still wear and tear or change of season.
Car tuning is also very popular. It is carried out to make it more sporty and attractive. One of the main components to replace during tuning is the wheel rim.
You can find out what kind of bolt pattern is on the Priora from the technical documentation or from special tables presented on the Internet.
Priora is available in sedan, hatchback and station wagon body styles. The parameters and characteristics of the discs do not depend on the car's design.
During the operation of the vehicle, car owners get bored with the standard appearance and want to change something. In this case, tuning comes to the rescue, allowing for visual and technical improvements. It is possible to replace some car components with improved, sportier and more attractive ones.
The main part on which the appearance depends is the rims. In this regard, car enthusiasts try to replace them first.
For any vehicle, wheels are not only part of the appearance, but also a very important design element, the size, production method and weight of which determine the vehicle’s stable behavior on the road surface, handling and dynamic qualities.
Lada Priora with 16-inch wheels
A new set of products must comply with all parameters declared by the manufacturer. This applies to both correct drilling and the required dimensions in terms of width, size and reach. It is also necessary to select high-quality tires for the season, since inaccurate sizes will negatively affect operation.
The drilling parameter determines whether the selected rim can be installed on the car. If the parameter does not match, then it is necessary to use adapter rings, which entails undesirable interference in the factory design.
Winter tires for Priora
The manufacturer installs tires on the Lada Priora in the following sizes:
"Lada Priora".
- 175/70 R13 82T;
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
These tires are also installed in this size, and also, in accordance with the operating instructions for this vehicle, are acceptable for installation on all modifications of tires in the following sizes:
- 175/70 R13 82T;
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
And on the Lada Priora Sedan Sport, the manufacturer allows installation of 195/55 R15, 195/50 R16, 205/45 R17. Winter tires on the Priora must be installed in this particular size chart.
Tire selection
When changing wheels, do not forget about the tire size. If you are going to take an R15 on a Priora, then the optimal tire size you will need is 190/50, but there are as many as 10 other options. On 15 wheels, such tires are the best solution that can be found. The size is excellent, since the tire will not touch body parts and suspension, but will also last a long time in operation, although it is low-profile.
Tire size will affect the vehicle's performance on the road, so choose only the appropriate options. You should not rush to buy them; also evaluate the material used and the manufacturer. Summer tires should be thinner, and winter tires, on the contrary, should be thicker. There are almost 2 dozen tires on Priora that are installed with R14 wheels. and a few R16s for those who like to experiment, so you're sure to find something if you have the catalog to match.
Features of tires for driving in winter
Tires for driving in the winter season, due to weather and natural conditions, require certain differences from summer and all-season tires. They should more effectively remove water, snow, slush, ice and snow chips that are present on winter roads. In addition, winter tires should show better grip on the road surface, not slip on ice, icy roads and should not freeze. Therefore, winter tires have a number of design features.
Winter wheels on Priora.
Seasonality of operation
Each climate period has its own peculiarities in choosing tires for Priora. They are determined by weather conditions and characteristics of the road surface, which are radically opposite, for example, in summer and winter. You can, of course, purchase all-season (Any Season, AS, R+W) tires, which will help you save money, but it is unlikely to guarantee ideal grip on the road surface at any time of the year.
Summer and winter tires that can be installed on Priora differ significantly in the chemical composition of the rubber alloys used for their production. The main task of both is to ensure maximum grip on the road surface.
Summer tires, even at very high air and road temperatures, remain hard and solid. Many of the summer models are specifically designed for driving on wet roads (Water), in rainy weather (Rain) or have aquaplaning protection (Aqua). The tread pattern of these tires is specially designed to effectively drain water when driving, provide stability and reduce noise pollution.
Range of tires and wheels for Priora
Winter tires (Winter, M+S) are able to maintain softness and elasticity at very low temperatures. They have a deep tread with a special sipe structure that perfectly gets rid of dirt, snow, water and provides a high degree of control over the Priora on a winter road. To drive on roads covered with ice and compacted snow, it is best to put the Priora on studded tires. But remember that the spikes will be useless on asphalt surfaces, where they quickly wear out and are quite noisy.
How are they different from summer ones?
Unlike summer tires, winter tires have the following features:
- A special rubber composition allows it to remain soft in severe frosts. This is especially true for friction tires that adhere to the road surface by adhesion. Silica is added to the composition of winter tires, the composition is constantly being improved so that the tires can withstand maximum sub-zero temperatures.
- Rubber must be soft, elastic and durable, because in winter there is a high risk of damage from pieces of ice, hard snow, and icy roadsides. Strength is also achieved by improving the rubber composition, adding silicic acid to it, as well as increasing the strength of the side tread blocks. An important point is the controllability of the car on slippery roads. It is achieved thanks to the course longitudinal ribs of the tread.
- To remove the abundant water on the roads and snow porridge in winter, winter tires have an increased level of siping and a greater depth of grooves. The deep tread pattern also helps tires self-clean from snow and slush.
- For better grip on the road and especially on icy surfaces, many winter tires are equipped with metal studs, which provide good grip and braking, but are quite noisy.
In severe winter conditions with icy roads and snow, the use of winter tires is strongly recommended, since summer tires may not cope with control on difficult and slippery roads, creating emergency situations.
Types of disks
Lada Priora comes with alloy steel wheels, but you can install others, depending on your preferences. The options are as follows:
- Alloy wheels are standard factory products. They are the cheapest class among other types of wheels and are mainly used for the basic equipment of almost all economy class cars. They are not durable, have low resistance to impacts, and are practically irreparable.
- To create stamped models, unlike cast ones, special alloys are used. Alloys can significantly improve the characteristics of finished products, which can be noticed during operation. Alloy models can be repaired by straightening, so their service life is several times longer than their cast counterparts. They cost more, but last longer.
- But even the stamping method cannot create something more reliable than luxury forged wheels. The most expensive products have an extremely long service life - several years. In addition, they do not need to be repaired often, since they are quite difficult to bend or even scratch. They can withstand even the strongest impacts, so they are not afraid of uneven roads.
Popular manufacturers
Prior owners primarily highlight tires from the following manufacturers:
- Matador - a good example would be the Matador MP92 Sibir Snow 195/55 R15 85T, a friction type with good driving performance and a price starting from 4,000 rubles* per unit.
- Goodyear, an example would be the quiet friction Goodyear UltraGrip 9 with good grip and controllability, costing from 4,000 rubles per unit.
- Bridgestone with the winter studded model Bridgestone Blizzak SPIKE-02 175/65 R14 82T, designed for the harsh conditions of the Russian winter and costing from 3,400 rubles per unit.
- The Yokohama brand with the Yokohama iceGuard Stud iG55 175/65 R14 86T XL model is a high-speed winter studded model with high wear resistance, excellent handling and a cost of 4,000 rubles per unit.
- Domestic, as an example, “Kama 505” is a studded and durable model of winter tires for a budget price of 2,700 rubles per unit.
General recommendations
Any owner of a Lada Priora should remember that the best and safest option is to install absolutely identical tires on all four wheels . They must have the same dimensions, properties and tread pattern.
For most climatic zones, the most justified solution can be considered the purchase of two sets of tires for the Priora - winter and summer. The funds spent on their purchase will eventually pay off with a long period of operation, comfortable, confident and safe driving at any time of the year.
The inexpensive cost of tires should most likely put you on guard and should not be considered as the main factor in their purchase. High-quality rubber cannot be sold at the lowest price, since the best components and the latest technologies are used for its production. More expensive, branded tires are usually lighter and more durable than standard tires. They create a minimum of noise, reduce fuel consumption, and provide excellent handling of the Priora.
The desire to save money and purchase used tires is a dubious pleasure. After their installation, no one can guarantee you safe operation of the car. Only specialized service centers sell certified tires that meet all safety regulations and standards. Their staff will help you choose tires for your Priora that meet your requirements and fully comply with the technical parameters of the car. Your Lada Priora deserves the best!

Lada Priora - the model has already become almost a classic, despite the fact that it entered the market several years ago. Priora remains a popular model today. But despite the brand recognition, each car needs additional equipment. One of the names of such equipment is summer and winter tires for Lada.
Which tires are ideal? What tire pressure should be set on the Priora? Not only the stability of the car, handling and tire service life, but primarily the safety of the driver and passengers depend on the correct parameters.
Tire size for winter on Priora
recommends using tubeless radial tires marked - 175/65 R14 82Н, 185/65 R14 86Н, 185/60 R14 82Н. These tire modifications are included with the factory wheels installed on the Priora. The manufacturer considers it optimal to use tires with a width of 175-185 mm mounted on disks with a rim diameter of 14 inches for Priora operation.
The tire height to width ratio should be 60-65%. This ratio allows you to soften the passage of bumps on the road, significantly reduce the risk of tire puncture and helps ensure good handling of the Priora. The Lada Priora tire is marked with a speed index “H” (210 km/h) and a load index of at least 82 (475 kg).
What wheels were installed on different configurations?
When replacing disks with factory ones, many questions do not arise, but those that still interest the car owner are very important. There is a table of all permissible tire and wheel sizes for the Lada Priora. It fully explains all the radii that a motorist will want to install on his car. Following the table is a description of all its main components.

Designations:
R – tire radius. The number after it is the diameter of the disc in inches.
H – speed index. In this case, up to 210 km/h.
ET – rim offset. It is measured in the distance from the accessory plane of the disc to the middle of the rim.
After examining the table, it became clear that each variation of the Lada Priora is quite limited in the variety of factory wheels. When choosing a new drive, it is worth looking at some of our country's domestic factories. The wheels they produce fully satisfy the needs of car owners, so ordering these accessories from them will be the most appropriate solution.
One of the most popular domestic factories in Russia for the production of wheels for Lada Priora is Attika. This company cooperates with AvtoVAZ and is its official dealer. Since these two companies have a common agreement, this ensures the reliability and quality of all products.
The advantages of this method of purchasing wheels are their low cost. The discs are produced in Russia, so there is no need to overpay for unloading and customs, which leads to an acceptable cost of the products.
One set of wheels can cost 1,000 rubles, which is a record high in terms of price to product quality ratio. The next important advantage is the size of the disks. The company produces wheels with a regular radius and exclusive, expensive R16 and R17, which will look great on the Lada Priora.
Fastener dimensions
It is important to know that before buying wheels for a Priora, you should pay attention to the dimensions of the fasteners. Now many car manufacturers are trying to switch to so-called metric fasteners, which are quite different from the SAE standard. Despite their external similarity, in fact, they cannot be called interchangeable.
Example: There is a standard bolt that is half an inch in diameter. It also has 13 wraps, which is standard, and is one inch long. Now we compare it with a metric bolt of the same length. The metric bolt has a thread pitch of 1.75 mm and a total length of 25 mm. These two bolts will look identical, but in reality they cannot replace each other.
The size of the bolts on the Lada Priora is 12 mm by 1.25 inches with a radius between the bolts of 9.8 cm. When choosing non-original wheels, you should compare this information with that which will be indicated in the store.
What drives can be installed and how to choose them
You can install almost any wheels on the Lada Priora that will satisfy the drilling and bolt pattern parameters of the original wheels. The central hole is 58 mm, and the number of studs and their length are 4x98.
Wheel radius is also a fairly important criterion when choosing new wheels. The Priora is suitable for radii in the range from R14 to R17.
R14
It is the most popular among all wheel models, since the Lada Priora is produced by the manufacturer on 14 disks.
Therefore, when changing wheels, you can contact an official dealer and purchase them in a store.
Thanks to the factory size of the wheel arches, the disc can accept several tire sizes at once, which undoubtedly plays a positive role when choosing winter and summer tires.
R15
Not such a popular option, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Within such a radius you can find many different types of discs. Such as stamped steel, cast steel and, of course, forged steel.
This variety opens up great opportunities for car tuning. It is worth considering that the rim offset is equal to the size of R14, so it is necessary to select tires with a smaller profile.
These wheels are suitable for sports driving on good asphalt or for long trips.
R16
Such wheels are sports, and they can be found much less frequently than the two previous options. There are two main types of wheels: forged and stamped.
For some tire sizes, it will be necessary to install additional mud flaps, since the tire extends quite far beyond the wheel arches and will quickly pollute the car body.
Since tires of this size have a smaller profile, they can only be driven on ideal asphalt without any negative consequences. In addition, when crossing rails, problems may also arise due to the vehicle's clearance.
R17
The largest variation of wheels on the Lada Priora. Also, this disc size is the most expensive, since it is most often produced in a forged version, which is several times more expensive than stamped and cast discs. These wheels are fitted with tires in size 205/40/R17, as shown in the photo. In addition, they can make various turns due to good handling.
Changing wheels on a Lada Priora is a very pressing issue at the moment. When choosing new disks, you need to check many parameters that are important in a particular case.
In the case of Lada Priora, cast and forged wheels are the most popular, but they will look ergonomic only in sizes from R15 to R17.
The manufacturer provides two options for painting wheels, but if there is a need for a different color, you can always change the color at any tuning studio.
As a result, it should be said that buying discs from unofficial dealers can result in negative consequences. If the threads of the discs do not fit, then no one will take responsibility for this. To avoid such cases, it is recommended to compare the information on the threads of the purchased disks with that stated by AvtoVAZ.

It is equally important to know the following characteristics:
- PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) diameter of the center of the mounting holes: 97 mm;
- Drilling: number of holes 4;
- Fastener type: M12 – stud diameter;
- Thread size (pitch): 1.25;
- Center hole diameter: 59 mm;
- Pressure (front / rear): 1.9 / 2.0 bar.
PCD is calculated by measuring the distance between the centers of opposite holes. We measure with a ruler; it is not necessary to dismantle the wheel.
- For disks with five bolts, multiply the obtained result by a factor of 1.06;
- For four bolt construction, PCD = actual distance.
The offset of the rim is designated ET, the unit of measurement is millimeters. This is the distance between the point of contact between the disc and the hub and the middle of the rim width.
The designation is different in different countries. For example, in France it is called DEPORT, in Asia OFFSET.
The offset is positive if the plane does not extend beyond the point of contact, otherwise the offset is negative.
Advantages and Disadvantages: Dies and Casting
Basically, cars are operated with two sets of tires: winter and summer. Therefore, in order not to waste time and money on seasonal tire fitting, purchase a second set of wheels. The wheels on the Lada Priora are either stamped steel or light alloy cast, and the car owners decide what type of elements to buy.
Differences in steel stampings:
- Low price.
- Maintainability.
The main disadvantage of stampings is their high specific gravity. The disadvantages also include low resistance to deformation and the fact that they are monotonous in appearance and not interesting. But a bent steel stamping can be easily straightened even by hand, and when deformed, the wheel absorbs impact energy, protecting the suspension from damage. Therefore, this can be a plus to some extent. The design can be improved by installing wheel covers, but some people like the look of a car with stamps.
Casting looks more beautiful, weighs lighter, since light alloys are used in its manufacture, and almost any design can be cast. Improving the design of the car and reducing sprung masses are the advantages of installing casting. The main disadvantage is the high price. Casting is three or more times more expensive than dies of the same size.
Therefore, stamps are better for winter - even if the steel rusts (which should not happen with high-quality painting), the wheels are easy to tint and inexpensive to replace. The almost continuous design of the stamping sidewall better protects brake system parts from snow and mud.
What to choose
For each driving style, you need to choose tires that suit your driving style. Prior owners must decide for themselves which summer and winter tires are best to choose.
For those who have a more aggressive driving style, it is better to take wide tires, but the problem is that tires of this type are intended only for asphalt - such tires will not be of any use on dirt or wet country roads. The negative aspects of such rubber are increased noise in the cabin and extreme rigidity, which can have a bad effect on the suspension.
For owners whose style is the most relaxed, it is better to purchase softer tires, designed for soft and comfortable movement on any road. The disadvantages of soft tires are that the steering response is slightly slower or the braking distance may be slightly longer.
As a result, every owner of a Lada Priora should have a summer and winter set of tires. And what brand the tires will be, what the pressure will be and what tires are right for you - it’s up to you and no one else to decide. The main thing is not to violate the recommendations of the manufacturer and not to drive recklessly on the roads - after all, the most important thing in any car is the safety of the driver and passengers.
