Rubber tires are the shoes of a car. Wheels on Priora are available for winter and summer. They have different speed and noise indices. From the article you will learn which of them are used on the VAZ 2170, what pressure should be in the tires on a Lada Priora, and the size of the wheels (tires). Which brand to choose so as not to regret buying tires. Manufacturers and prices, a few words about beading and much more about Priora tires.
Factory tires - article number and price
The Lada Priora was mainly equipped with 14-inch wheels, occasionally 13, 15 inches. R16 tires have never been installed on Lada Priora. Over the years, the car on the assembly line was equipped with wheels and tires from different manufacturers, the article number and price also varied, for example:
- Belshina 555.
- Kama Euro 224.
- Kama Euro 236.
- Kama 217.
- Amtel Barguzin-2 K-187.
- Amtel Barguzin-4.
These are all-season tires of the lower price segment, hard, therefore, not comfortable, high grip, but they last a long time and are resistant to mechanical damage. Of course, all-season use of wheels is conditional; in subzero temperatures and icy conditions, winter wheels must be used. There is no special article number for wheel tires in the Lada spare parts catalog, because the spare part is universal and fits many cars, not just Lada.
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
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.
Attention!
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.
Standard tire size for Lada Priora
The standard tire size for the Lada Priora is 14 inches. The diameters installed by the factory in various configurations are as follows:
- 175/65 R14.
- 185/60 R14.
- 185/65 R14.
- 185/55 R15.
The speed index is at least H, which implies a limit of 210 km/h. Load index – 82, maximum load capacity – 475 kg.
The manufacturer allows the vehicle to be operated with wheels with the same tire size, but speed index V (up to 240 km/h) for tires with a diameter of 15 inches, T (no more than 190 km/h) for other sizes.
Tires with a diameter of 13 inches are not allowed to be installed on Prioras equipped with larger wheels from the manufacturer.
Tire pressure
The wheels need to be pumped up to 2.2 atmospheres in the front and 1.8 atmospheres in the rear.
What can happen to tires - malfunctions Rubber is a soft material that is quite easily pierced, cut, and torn. The most common injuries are punctures. A pinhole puncture of tubeless tires with a sharp object does not immediately cause a complete loss of air in the tire and is eliminated even without re-bending the wheel. When hitting foreign objects, the tread may be penetrated over a large area.
Also, the rubber suffers from side cuts, especially models with soft sides: when driving through holes with sharp edges, due to careless parking along curbs. Another problem is “hernia” - swelling in the side.
Tires are subject to natural wear and tear. The use of wheels is allowed with a tread depth of at least 1.6 mm for summer tires and at least 4 mm for winter tires. If operating rules are not followed, for example, driving with incorrect pressure, damaged suspension, broken wheel alignment, the tire wears out faster and unevenly.
What does the size of tires and wheels affect?
| Increasing disc diameter | Increasing rim width | Increasing tire width | |
| Car style | will improve | will improve | will improve |
| Road holding | will improve | will improve | will improve |
| Steering precision | will improve | will improve | will improve |
| Tire grip | Will not change | Will not change | will improve, but only on dry roads |
| Resistance to hydroplaning | Will not change | Will not change | will get worse |
| Comfort on rough roads | will get worse | Will not change | will improve |
| Road noise | Will not change | Will not change | will intensify |
| Gasoline consumption | Will not change | will increase | will increase |
| Tire wear | Will not change | Will not change | will increase |
Have you decided to choose winter tires for your Lada Priora? For winter it is recommended to choose narrow tires. The fact is that with such tires the pressure on the road surface will be greater, and therefore the grip on the road will improve. Wide tires are more sensitive to ruts in winter. Low-profile tires perfectly transfer even the smallest pits to the fifth point.
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.
In conclusion, we present statistics that were compiled based on a survey that took place among Lada Priora owners. Results of the survey “What size are the rims on your Lada Priora?” the following:
- 35% voted for R15 wheels.
- R14 wheels received 26% of the votes.
- For R16 wheels - 22%
- 12% of owners drive on low-profile R17 tires.
- Exclusive R18 wheels were installed on 4% of survey participants.
- The rarest R13 wheels are owned by 1% of owners.
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 Priora tires. Read other articles on tuning Lada Priora, easy search by content.

Which tires have proven themselves well on Priora?
The most popular tire size used on Lada Priora is 185/60 or 185/65 with a diameter of 14 inches. Below are lists of tires available in these sizes.
Tires from leading brands have the best characteristics, which, however, is not surprising. Such rubber is not cheap, but it has durable performance characteristics that ensure safety and comfort of movement.
Suitable for Lada Priora:
Nokian Hakkapeliitta - winter tires from the Finnish brand, the first in the world to create tires specifically for winter back in 1934, have durable performance characteristics. You have to pay for quality, so the price is considerable - an average of 4,200 rubles. There are almost always models of several generations on the market; the newest models are more expensive. This is true for many imported tire brands. Continental ContiIceContact, ContiVikingContact - excellent tires, the first is studded, the second is Velcro, costs about 4,500 rubles. Michlen X-Ice is one of the best in terms of characteristics, available in several versions: studded, non-studded, price 3600-4000 rubles. Nokian Nordman - the younger brother of Hakkapeliitta, costs from 2,750 rubles, representing the optimal price-quality ratio. Cordiant Polar are good Russian winter tires, the price is about 2300-2500 rubles. The studded model of this manufacturer, Cordiant Snow Cross 2, costs about 300-400 rubles more.
In summer, the Lada Priora behaves well on tires:
- Continental ContiPremiumContact - have excellent qualities, but the price is somewhat overpriced - the average cost is 3,500 rubles.
- Nokian Hakka Green 2 - tires from the junior line of the Finnish manufacturer behave on a par with the Continental, and cost a little less - about 3,000 rubles.
- Nokian Nordman SX 2 - budget Nokian tires are almost as good as older models in road performance. Yes, it weighs 0.5 kg more than the Hakka Green 2 price, the speed index is simpler - T instead of H, but the price is much less - about 2300 rubles. Nordman's price/quality ratio is one of the best.
- Cordiant Comfort - good characteristics, especially grip properties, the price is also not high. The average cost is 2200 rubles.
Summer and winter
Each season means the installation of special tires that have the necessary properties for each season.
In summer, it is necessary to maintain the hardness of the rubber and resistance to high temperatures. Therefore, summer tires are radically different from winter tires on Priora.
There are varieties of summer tires - some are designed for wet asphalt conditions, or vice versa - they have protection against aquaplaning. What to install is up to the owner to decide.
Winter tires must be flexible and resistant to low temperatures. They should have deep slats for quick self-cleaning and perform well on winter surfaces.
On the Priora, it is best to choose studded tires - the most suitable for driving on snow and ice.
What kind of tires can still be put on the car after modifications?
Many Lada owners do not limit themselves to the list of products approved by the car plant, but install rollers of non-standard sizes.
Wheels with tires measuring 15, 16 inches, even R17 on Priora, fit without modifications with a tire width of up to 215 mm. Naturally, low-profile tires are used. For 17-inch wheels – profile 40-45%. For example, 205/40 R17, 195/45 R17. When installing such “rollers” you will need to remove the fender liners. It is difficult to find a product of this size with a drill and mounting hole standard for Priora. It is necessary to use spacers, centering rings, and eccentric bolts.
When installing non-standard rollers, it is necessary to pay attention to the disc overhang. With some parameter values, the wheel will not fit into the wheel arch, so you will have to trim the latter or make other changes.
Tires play an important role in safety, comfort of movement, and ease of driving. Therefore, you need to carefully select these consumables and monitor its condition.
You can choose suitable wheels for a Priora without any problems at all, since this model is produced by a domestic manufacturer. Accordingly, a huge number of products for this model of car are presented on store shelves. Factory original sizes, parameters and characteristics of wheel rims and tires range from 13 to 15 inches, and therefore there should be no problems with choosing products. The wheel manufacturer K&K has a special agreement with and creates a special line of products specifically for models from this plant. The wheel sizes presented are among the most common on the market.
The car is produced from the factory in body types: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. The factory installs both cast wheels and steel wheels produced by stamping. They differ in weight, appearance and size. The most common installation is stamped wheels, as they are cheaper, reliable and durable.

Priora wheel size
The legendary model of the domestic concern "AvtoVAZ" is deservedly considered one of the most popular and widespread models presented on the Russian market. This is due to the relatively low cost of the car, its high driving characteristics, which far exceed the older classic cars of the concern. An important feature is the absence of problems in finding spare parts and parts to improve the car, and you can service it yourself in the garage. Lada Priora is produced in body types such as sedan, hatchback and station wagon. This allows buyers to choose the most convenient body type to perform various tasks.
The need to replace wheels and tires happens to every car owner. This also applies to Priora fans. Any tires and wheels wear out as a result of use and require either repair or replacement. The tires on a Priora usually last for several seasons, after which they need to be replaced. Regardless of the diameter and other dimensions of tires, wear occurs gradually.

Any product installed on a vehicle requires proper and careful operation. As for tires, the most common mistake of all drivers is the incorrect selection of products according to seasonality. You can often see a car driving in winter on summer tires, or vice versa. It is important to remember that this is very unsafe. In addition, using, for example, winter tires in summer greatly increases their wear. Since this type of rubber is simply not intended for use in such temperature conditions.
In auto stores you can find offers for the sale of tires in all possible designs with a large number of different characteristics that will suit even the most demanding car enthusiasts.
In addition, installed tires and wheels have a maximum impact on the following properties of the vehicle:
- Increasing or decreasing the level of wear of parts and suspension units, depending on the quality of the product.
- Machine controllability in any conditions.
- Dynamic qualities such as acceleration, maximum speed, braking distance.
- Fuel consumption.
- Other characteristics.
During the operation of a vehicle, it is necessary to pay maximum attention to the quality of the wheels used. In addition, it is necessary to constantly monitor their technical condition. At the first signs of wear, it is necessary to either replace the products or reduce the load on them. Installing the cheapest wheels with low performance is unacceptable. Such tires usually last no more than one season, wear out very quickly and behave unpredictably on the road surface.

Which summer tires to choose for this domestic car
A wide range of summer tires are suitable for Lada Priora. The size must be selected based on the recommendations of the car manufacturers. Information on the characteristics of suitable tires can be found in the technical documentation.
As for summer products, parameters 195, 185 or 175 indicate the corresponding tire width, which is measured in millimeters. Next comes the profile height indicator, which is indicated as a percentage relative to the width. The last one is usually the tire diameter, it can be R15, R16 and others.
Tire parameters
When choosing tires, you must take into account the technical characteristics of the model and the manufacturer's recommendations. At the factory, all indicators have already been calculated and the parameters recommended by the factory are optimal. What tires for the Lada Priora do the manufacturer recommend? Tire width 175 - 185 mm, profile 60 - 65, and wheel diameter R14.
The manufacturer states that these parameters correspond to the technical characteristics of the car, and contribute to high handling, soften road irregularities and allow you to enjoy driving the car. The tire, in addition to its dimensions, must have a speed index of “H” (maximum speed – 210 km/h), and the load index must be at least “82”.
But owners often neglect the recommendations and install tires with a large radius. When choosing a tire size for a Priora, you need to take into account all the car’s parameters. This is necessary to select tires that will not negatively affect the handling and safety of the car.
Tire sizes for Lada Priora
Factory tire parameters:
- 175/70 R13 82T;
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
For tuning, it is possible to install tires with the following sizes:
- 195/55 R15;
- 195/50 R16;
- 205/45 R17.
Disc sizes and parameters:
- wheel bolt pattern - 4×98;
- rim width - 5.5, 6.0j, inches;
- rim offset - ET 37 or 35 millimeters;
- diameter of the centering hole - CO 58.6, millimeters.
It is in these dimensions that the car will correspond to all factory settings and characteristics, both in terms of control and dynamics. The wheels of the presented sizes provide optimal traction and stability. In addition, the comfort and smoothness of the ride will also be normal. The car will be able to overcome small road defects and obstacles without putting much strain on the backs of passengers. With these wheel sizes there will not be much shaking. Safe driving is ensured both in the city and on country roads.
To correctly select wheels by size for a Priora car, regardless of the year of manufacture and engine size, you need to know what the main differences in characteristics are for different sizes.
Characteristics of alloy wheels "Black Edition" on the Lada Priora
Along with foreign automobile concerns, AvtoVAZ always offers its customers several variants of cars of the same model, and each modification has its own advantages and, accordingly, different prices. One of the flagships of the model is the Black Edition modification, which has been produced since 2016 and has the largest number of technical and electronic innovations. But the most notable thing is that it has a beautiful glossy black metallic finish and additional stylish moldings, also black.
The wheels for this configuration are also unusual. First of all, this is a high-quality “casting”, with a stylish wheel design - 12 thin spokes evenly support the rim, creating a feeling of sporty style. In addition, the increased strength of steel eliminates the risk of wheel deformation even when falling into a deep hole or hitting an obstacle.
The wheels are painted matte black, and it matches perfectly with the shade of the body of the car itself and gives the Priora a menacing look.
The wheel size 6.0J x 15H2 ET35 allows you to install 195/55/R15 tires, which largely ensures stability on the road, and also allows you to install winter tires without purchasing new wheels, because the parameters are universal for any season of the year.

Note!
If for some reason one or more wheels have become unusable, the owner of the Priora can contact an official AvtoVAZ dealer, where they will select just such a wheel and have it professionally replaced.
About tires on Lada Priora cars of 14 and 15 diameters
The sizes 14 and 15 inches are rightfully the most common for installation on the Lada Priora. The manufacturer clearly states the permissible tire sizes. This:
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
In addition, wheels with the following dimensions are also suitable:
- 175/70 R13 82T;
- 175/65 R14 82Н;
- 185/60 R14 82Н;
- 185/65 R14 86H;
- 185/55 R15 82H.
The choice of size for a personal vehicle depends only on the preferences of the car owner. Different tires may provide different characteristics; to obtain the optimal one, you must take into account all the manufacturer's recommendations. For tuning, Priora can even be equipped with wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. They do not have a high level of smoothness, but they noticeably decorate the car.
“Lada Priora” can easily be called the people's car. At the same time, this is the car to which its owners probably made the most changes and modifications. And a lot of them are related to suspension and tires. This is all the more paradoxical since in the first versions only one wheel size was offered on the Lada Priora. But let’s take a step-by-step look at what wheels are on the Priora and which ones can be installed.
Generation 2
In 2013, Lada Priora was updated. You shouldn't look for dramatic changes in the model's appearance, but new touches and details have appeared here. After restyling, the model received headlights with daytime running lights, brake lights and taillights with LEDs. Instead of a rectangular shape, the radiator grille was made pentagonal with a honeycomb cladding structure. The rear bumper received an energy-absorbing insert and a new design. However, the dimensions of the model remained the same.
There were much more changes in the interior. Inside the restyled Lada Priora, new finishing materials and modified seats have appeared, and the architecture of the front panel has changed. A color display with touch control was installed at the top of the center console. The seat backs have increased by 40 mm, which has a positive effect on comfort. The interior of the updated Lada Priora has become quieter.
In addition to design changes, the technical part has also been improved. The model has an improved suspension and new steering with a lower gear ratio. The main difference was the advanced 1.6-liter unit with dynamic supercharging producing 106 hp. The previous power plants remained available. The configurations did not change either. Lada Priora was still offered in “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux” versions with the following types of wheels and tires:
- 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 175/65R14;
- 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 185/65R14;
- 5.5J wheels on 14 ET37, tires – 185/60R14;
- 6J wheels on 14 ET35, tires – 195/60R14;
- 6.5J wheels on 15 ET35, tires – 185/55R15;
- 6.5J wheels on 15 ET35, tires – 195/55R15;
- 6.5J wheels on 16 ET35, tires – 195/50R16.
The model’s body was made of low-alloy steel and galvanized metal, which extended the warranty against corrosion to 6 years.
Factory wheels on Priora
When production started in 2007, the car was offered with only one wheel option. In the factory configuration, the tire size marked 185/60R14 86H was used, and the wheel rim on the Priora had parameters of 5.5Jx14 4/98 ET35 d58.5. This decision was dictated by the need to save money and reduce the cost of the car. And judging by data from the official website, this continued until 2015.
And only from 2015 to 2022, five options for wheel parameters for Priora appeared in the operating manuals. Therefore, you can see in the table what wheel size the Priora had in the last years of production of this model.
| Tire size | Disk options |
| 175/70R13 82H | 5Jx13 4/98 ET35 d58.5 |
| 175/65R14 82H | 5.5Jx14 4/98 ET35 d58.5 |
| 185/60R14 82H | |
| 185/65R14 82H | |
| 185/55R15 82H | 6Jx15 4/98 ET33 d58.5 |
What wheels are installed on the Priora from the factory? Wheel rims were either stamped steel of our own production (most often from the Tolyatti Steel Wheels Plant (T3SK)), or cast wheels produced by K&K. The most popular model of alloy wheels is “Attica”. AvtoVAZ's factory tires are supplied by Nizhnekamskshina and Sibur-Kordiant.

Original steel wheels for Priora
It’s also worth stopping at thirteen-inch wheels. They were installed only on cars with eight-valve engines, and cars with this configuration were equipped with smaller brake calipers. That is, you cannot use 13-inch wheels for installation on cars that are factory equipped with fourteen-inch and fifteen-inch wheels.
However, replacing wheels with a smaller radius on a Priora is a rare case. And judging by unofficial online surveys, thirteen-inch wheels cost less than 1% of cars of this model in all of Russia. Quite the contrary - car owners want to increase the diameter of the wheels on their Priora. Below we will discuss how this can be done so that such tuning does not affect handling.
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.
After the modernization of the VAZ-2110, a fundamentally new car appeared that retained the same features. In the first version of the Lada Priora, similarities with the “ten” were clearly visible, but the bow and stern of the car became different. The headlights have increased in size and the radiator grille has become larger. The taillights were also modified, but overall the changes in appearance could not be called global.
If the exterior of the model was developed by specialists from the Volzhsky plant, then the interior was created by designers of the Italian company Carcerano. As a result, he was strikingly different from what he was in the top ten. The front panel looked more like a “torpedo” of a foreign car. It was trimmed with soft plastic, adding a curved visor above the instrument cluster. The interior was complemented by an oval-shaped clock installed in a silver trim at the top of the console.
The basic equipment of Lada Priora has become noticeably richer. It offered electric front windows, central locking with remote control, athermal windows, an airbag, electric power steering, an electronic clock and an adjustable steering column.
Wheel bolt pattern on Priora
First, let’s talk about the bolt pattern parameters on Priora wheels. It is always 4x98, that is, all wheel rims are mounted with 4 bolts and the distance between them is 98 mm. The size of the central hole of the wheel rim is always 58.5 mm.
Disc with bolt pattern 4x98
Let us remind you that this parameter is important to take into account when selecting alternative wheels for your car - you simply cannot install wheels with a different bolt pattern, so always study the markings on the disk.
The disc mounts on the Priora are marked M12x1.25, where 12 is the diameter of the stud in mm, and 1.25 is the thread size. But if you install non-standard size wheels, you will have to buy extended mounts.
We also add that the 4x98 bolt pattern is traditional for almost all AvtoVAZ models. Including for the VAZ-2110, which was the predecessor of the Priora. Although the wheels from Vesta will not fit on the Priora, when switching to the new model, AvtoVAZ decided to install wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern.
Priorovskie wheels from Grants Sport
Often, Priora owners pay attention to the exclusive car from the concern - Lada Granta Sport. The car is made in the spirit of the times, has a real combat look and wheels with parameters 195/50/R16. Almost every ambitious Priora owner has a great desire to install just such wheels on his car, but there are both advantages and disadvantages, namely:
- Multi-spoke alloy wheels with these geometric parameters, crowned with a massive steel rim and low-profile tires, create a stunning effect, distinguishing the car from the rest on the road.
- The Chinese manufacturer was able to satisfy the quality requirements of the plant, and all wheels come perfectly smooth and homogeneous in composition and do not require serious balancing when installing them assembled on a car.
- One of the downsides is that these wheels on the Priora are in no way compatible with the fender liners, since the rubber simply rests against them and wears them out, which also damages the protectors. To avoid this, the driver will have to completely get rid of the plastic protection on his car, exposing the body to aggressive environmental influences, especially in winter.
- In addition, the cost of these products is clearly too high, and it is advisable to install it only on the premium Priora models, since otherwise they will stand out too much against the background of a poor exterior package without sports body kits, moldings, grilles and headlights.

Thus, experts advise car enthusiasts to refrain from installing these discs and try to find something on the market that is more suitable specifically for the Priora.
Wheels suitable for Priora
What wheels can be installed on the Priora if you want to replace the factory ones? AvtoVAZ does not recommend tire sizes other than those specified in the operating manual, which we indicated above! But the manufacturer allows wide wheels on the Priora. But only if you change the rim width.
For thirteen-inch wheels, it is allowed to increase the width from 5 to 5.5 inches. And for fourteen-inch wheels, it is allowed to use wheels that are narrower or wider than standard - either 5-inch wide or 6-inch wide instead of the standard 5.5J wide. For fifteen-inch wheels, it is not recommended to change the rim width!
Also, according to AvtoVAZ, it is not worth changing the wheel offset. In fact, you can only install large wheels on a Priora without violating the manufacturer’s requirements if you have 13 or 14-inch wheels. But when have car owners been stopped by a car manufacturer's recommendations? If the question is “what wheels to put on a Priora,” many are even ready to make changes to the design of the car just to achieve a stylish result. Therefore, there are quite a lot of options.
What wheels are installed on the Priora as an alternative?
Priora on 17-inch wheels
The huge list of options on the Priora can be explained by the fact that even standard wheels have a height of 575 mm (175/70 R13) to 596 mm (185/65 R14). It is these dimensions that you should focus on when choosing alternatives, so that the new wheels fit into the wheel arches and do not rub against the fender liners. And this also allows you to install even 17-inch wheels with 205/40 R17 tires on the Priora, which have a total height of 596 mm. Moreover, without changing the design of the car, that is, cutting the bumper or arches.
In the case of an overhang, a calculator will help you decide which wheels can be installed on the Priora. The smaller the offset, the more the wheels stick out. But you can compensate for this with the width of the rim. Or if you want to install wider wheels, then it is better not to change the offset. Or get wheels with a longer offset so they sit deeper. Also focus on how many millimeters you still have left in the wheel arches.
We have compiled the list of acceptable wheel sizes for Priora into one table.

When choosing the maximum size of wheels and tires, remember that even a slight overinflation can create big problems when driving a car! Follow the recommendations for air pressure in the tires; the pressure on the front and rear axles should be 0.2 (2.0) MPa (bar).
Winter wheels on Priora
Winter tire options for Priora are available in the table below. But with large-diameter winter tires that sit side by side in the summer, don't forget that an aggressive tread pattern can increase the size of the tires and, as a result, they will catch on the fender liners.
Using tires of the appropriate size will avoid increased gas consumption and make driving as comfortable as possible. The Lada Priora car differs from earlier models of the AvtoVAZ manufacturer in its versatility. It is possible to install tires of various diameters - R13, R14, R15.
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 power of 97 hp 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. The following types of wheels were installed at the factory:
- 175/65 mm;
- 185/60 mm;
- 185/65 mm.
The standard wheel size is 14 inches. Standard marking is 5.5J×14.
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 disks is mandatory. The diameter can be used 14, 15, 16. The bolt pattern on all the cars listed above is completely identical - 4x98.
Acceptable and optimal sizes
There are a number of tires and rims that are simply acceptable for installation, and which are ideal for installation:
- What sizes are suitable without loss: R 14 - 175/65; 185/65; 185/60; 205/55; R15 - 175/60; 185/55; 195/50; 205/50; R16 - 175/50; 195/45 - on wheels with these sizes, all recommendations will be followed, and the Lada will not lose the quality of control and comfort.
- Acceptable sizes suitable for Lada: from 175/60 R14 to 205/32 R Which tires you can choose should be clarified in the official AvtoVAZ services.
There are owners who install wheels with a large diameter - as a result, friction between the wheel and the car body occurs, which has a bad effect on both the car and the durability of the tires. Therefore, if you want to install special tires and wheels, you need to consult with specialists and carry out calculations.
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.
Pressure
One of the most important parameters when operating any tires is pressure. An incorrectly set parameter value can lead to the replacement of tires, wheels, suspension, and driving the car will be difficult and difficult. For the Lada Priora, the debate is still raging about which one is necessary.
On average, the pressure is set from 1.8 to 2.2 atmospheres and is the most optimal for cars of this brand. They set both more and less, but the factory stated the above parameters for the R14 (about 2).
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.
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. However, the deep tread will allow you to feel confident on any, even the most difficult road.
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. Steel spikes perfectly hold the car on the road surface.
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.
