How to choose winter tires for model 2106
Tires for the VAZ 2106
Winter tires are made in two solutions: studded and studless. Both options are quite relevant. It is not easy to answer the question of which winter tires with studs are better, because it is necessary to take into account what goals need to be achieved when moving the car. Some people need tires to travel on snowy roads, packed snow and icy roads, and therefore should purchase tires with large tread, which will provide excellent cross-country ability. For example, winter tires “Cordiant Polar” 175 by 70 R13.
On a note.
For a city road, it is permissible to buy Velcro. But since municipal services sometimes forget to clean the streets, it is better to buy wheels with spikes, with a tread that ensures silent movement - NordMaster 175/70 R13.
Winter tires on the VAZ 2106 have their own specifics. Regardless of the engine modification, the disk size R13 is suitable. These wheels are only suitable for 175/70 tires. Of course, it is possible to switch from R13 to R14 tires, but this will lead to the following:
- the controllability of the vehicle will not increase much;
- the possibility of disc deformation will increase significantly;
- additional expenses will arise.
The tire size on the VAZ 2106 and 2107 is identical.
Which wheels are better for the VAZ 2106 for the winter: Velcro or models with spikes? It is important to remember that a rear-wheel drive car for this reason tends to slip during the start of the journey and skids when entering a turn. Taking into account these criteria, it would be correct to buy studded tires for 13 on a VAZ.
On rear-wheel drive vehicles, place the most worn tires on the rear axle. Testing has shown that this replacement is the safest to maintain dynamism.
For your information!
In a situation where a tenon is lost, replacing it with a new one is not possible, since there is no way to firmly secure the element in the old place.

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 VAZ 2106 Zhiguli 2006?
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.

VAZ 2107
There are several types of tires for the seven. The industry produces them in seasonal versions:
- Summer,
- Winter,
- All-season.
In order to save money, drivers prefer to install all-season wheels on their cars; their standard size is 175/70R13 82T, where:
175 — profile width;
70 is the ratio of the height to the width of the profile.
R - radial type tire.
13 — landing diameter.
82 - load capacity coefficient.
T is the highest speed developed by a car on such wheels.
VAZ 2114
Tires of two sizes are relevant for the hatchback: R13, R14. Full details can be found in the technical manual. The optimal size is considered to be R13. In summer, such models are completely safe.
R14 tires are considered more suitable for winter. Tires with dimensions 175/65 can be considered an ideal option for driving on snowy roads, as well as icy tracks.
When choosing, be sure to take into account the width of the tire. It will not allow the car to “drown” in the snow; it will only be pushed to a certain depth.
Factory wheel parameters depend on the vehicle configuration. They can be standard or slightly enlarged:
- 175/65R14,
- 175/70R13,
- 185/60R14.
For such tires, wheels on the VAZ 2114 are suitable 14.4x98. Moreover, their width is selected according to the size of the tire. Usually it is in the range of 5-6.
If R15 are installed, the wheels must be 6.0/6.5x15 4x98. For R16 tires – 6.5x16 4x98.
Tires for VAZ 2101
Option for VAZ 2101
An excellent solution would be to install low-profile Pirelli Scorpio ATR tires on the VAZ 2101, which have excellent driving performance both in the city and in conditions where there is no asphalt. The asymmetrical tread pattern has deep channels and unique sipes that clean the wheel surface from liquid and “porridge,” protecting against aquaplaning and improving traction on wet roads.
Wide shoulders increase the contact patch with the road, increase the reliability of wheel traction, and the soil grips on the sides prevent the tires from slipping when moving on an unpaved road.
Thanks to the improved frame and sidewalls made of denser rubber, protection against punctures and other damage is increased.

Also, the VAZ 2101 is equipped with Toyo Open Country A/T Plus tires. The tread pattern has hard blocks that adhere well to dry asphalt, and due to the presence of sipes, the formation of a “floating” ride is eliminated. The rib in the center creates high wheel control and reduces braking distance both in the city and when driving off-road. Wide drainages, actively removing liquid and dirt, create protection against aquaplaning. Due to the presence of silicon in rubber, it is silent and durable.
VAZ 2115
The factory is equipped with two standard sizes: R13, R14. Dealership centers that sell tires for imported cars offer tires that fit the VAZ 2115:
- 175/70 R13 82T.H,
- 175/65 R14 82T.H,
- 185/60 R14 82T.H.
Accordingly, it requires installation of disks:
- 0JR13 H2, PCD: 498, ET35,
- 5JR13 H2, PCD:498, ET35-40,
- 0-5.5-6.0JR14 H2, PCD:498, ET35-40.
The diameter of the mounting hole must be at least 58.6 mm.
Features of tires VAZ 2106-2107, VAZ-21099
So, let's look at which winter tires are best to use on certain VAZ models. First, let’s figure out which classic winter tires to choose. For these cars, the manufacturer recommends using tires with dimensions 165/70 R13 and 175/70 R13. As you can see, both tires have the same profile height, the difference comes down to the profile width. Therefore, winter tires on the VAZ 2107 are identical to those on the 2106.
As for manufacturers, there are a large number of them, but many owners use domestic ones - Rosava or Kama. They are not expensive, and their driving performance is quite good.
The optimal winter tires for VAZ 21099 are 175/70 R13, however, as a replacement option, you can use 185/60 R14 wheels. Here you can see that the profile height of such a tire is smaller, which means the possibility of damaging the disk is greater.
On a note. Here are good prices for winter tires for classics
VAZ 2106
The most favorite car in Russia. It was produced with standard parameters - 155R13. It is allowed to install R15, but no more.
I must say that riding on large wheels will not be very comfortable. The enlarged rims will begin to touch the wheel arch, the car will bounce on potholes, and its handling will deteriorate significantly. Therefore, professionals advise against conducting such experiments. The “Six” should only wear tires recommended by the manufacturer. It is advisable to install light alloy wheels, they are much lighter than standard “stamping”.
How to disassemble a wheel on a VAZ yourself
You can disassemble the wheel yourself. To do this you should:
- Put the car on the handbrake.
- Place a tire under the car.
- Unscrew the spool on the standing wheel.
- With the heel of the jack resting on the side of the tire, tear the edge off the hump and lower it into the groove.
- Turn, tear off the other edge.
- Press the edge with your foot and lower it into the groove.
- Pry off the opposite edge with a pry bar.
- Move it beyond the edge of the disk, carefully lifting the area adjacent to the already raised one in a circle.
After these manipulations, you will be able to remove the camera and remove the second edge. The stripping can be considered completed.
VAZ-2106 wheels
Despite the fact that the last production car of domestic production, the VAZ-2106, rolled off the factory assembly line back in 2006, operating models of this brand can still be found on the roads of our country.
This is also evidenced by the demand for auto parts, including wheel rims, which today are produced by many different manufacturers. There is a choice of diameters, type of manufacture and design.
Features of winter tires for cars
Many people believe that the difference between tires designed for different seasons comes down to the tread, namely its design. This is partly true; the tread pattern of winter tires is different from that of summer tires. However, the main difference lies not in the tread, but in the rubber composition itself.
The fact is that at negative temperatures, rubber changes its properties - it becomes hard, while the quality of the grip of the “hardened” rubber decreases. In winter tires, the composition has been changed so that it remains soft even at low temperatures.
But this condition also has a negative role - such rubber becomes even softer at positive temperatures, which leads to the fact that driving the car becomes more difficult, it begins to float a little on the road. Additionally, winter tires are often equipped with metal studs to improve wheel traction on snow and ice.
However, not all winter tires...
equipped with spikes - another type of stingray is produced, without spikes. Popularly, such tires are called “Velcro” or “cobwebs”. The fine, specially applied tread of these tires provides reliable grip on winter roads even without the use of studs.
All-season tires, which are supposedly designed for both summer and winter cold, are also popular among people. This is not an entirely correct judgment; rather, these are tires for the autumn-spring period, since in summer they are not hard enough, and in winter they do not have the required softness.
So you shouldn’t take any chances, and in winter use only tires designed for this period.
So, now the market offers a large number of winter tires for cars, including for our automobile industry; winter tires are sold for VAZ classics, as well as the new generation - 21099, 2110-2114.
One of the significant conditions...
When choosing winter tires for a VAZ, the “wallet size” factor is considered. After all, a lot of companies, both domestic and foreign, are engaged in the production of tires.
But this criterion also has one underlying reason - often tires from European manufacturers are designed for their winters, where the temperature is higher than ours. As a result, expensive tires can perform much worse on the highway than inexpensive domestic ones.
What wheels were installed on different bodies and configurations?
Initially, the VAZ-2106 car was conceived as a modernization of the VAZ-2103, which included getting rid of various “excesses” and bringing some parameters to European standards of that time. In total, since 1976, 7 modifications of the domestic “six” have been produced.
But none of these transformations affected the assembly line equipment with car wheels. The VAZ-2106 was always factory-installed with the most budget-friendly 13-inch stamped steel wheels with the following parameters:
- 4.5JX13ET37;
- 5JX13ET
4.5J and 5J are the width (inches);
13 – diameter (inches);
ET – disc offset size in mm.
Options with wider 13- and 14-inch wheels were considered as an acceptable replacement. Equipping the wheels with only the smallest diameter and most inexpensive steel stampings was caused not by the design features of the car, but by the desire to reduce the financial costs of production.
Stamped steel wheels are durable, repairable and low cost. But this is where the list of their advantages ends. If we compare dies with cast or forged lightweight specimens, then we can only talk about some shortcomings.
The result of replacing with lightweight versions of products is improved handling and reduced fuel consumption. But you shouldn’t make a replacement just for the sake of replacing it. Improper implementation can later turn into a real problem.
Unwelding.
The fact is that some ten years ago, when there was no such choice in terms of wheels and tires for the VAZ 2106, car enthusiasts made homemade (boiled) wheels. All Lada models lend themselves best to this type of tuning. Of course, they put boiled wheels on other car models, but we’re talking specifically about putting big wheels on a VAZ 2106. So. Unwelding is a disc with an increased rim width. Standard wheels have a width from 5J to 6.5J. Using welding, you can increase the thickness to 7j 8j and 10j. Along the way, a problem may arise that such tuned wheels will not fit into the wheel arches, especially if there are fender liners. However, many car enthusiasts know that this is not a problem; they can be rolled out or cut.
There are two ways to boil the disc:
— Welding a steel strip into the middle of the disk. — Welding two disks cut to width.
Please note, however, that only steel (stamped) discs are suitable for such operations. Alloy wheels may not withstand heat treatment and may crack. One more feature. When changing the rim width in order to fit larger wheels on a VAZ 2106, it is necessary to use non-standard tires. For example, you installed boiled 13-inch wheels, then you need to choose tires with a diameter of 14 inches; if the wheels are 14 inches, then install 15-inch tires accordingly. The wheels must be pumped 0.2-0.3 atmospheres less than normal. This creates the effect of a flat tire. The rubber “swallows” all small pebbles and pits, and as a result reduces the load on the axle and wheel bearing. Next, toe the front wheels minus 1 mm at the front, at which the wheels seem to be trying to converge. This will protect the front bearings from twisting and extend their service life.
I consider this type of tuning to be the most acceptable for VAZ 2106 owners. It does not require significant financial investments into our cars. Moreover, they already belong to the budget class. So why should we pay more?
Standard disk sizes
All standard wheels on the VAZ-2106 have two constant indicators related to the design of the hub:
- The pattern of mounting holes (bolt pattern) is 4x98.
- The diameter of the central hole is 58.5 mm.
For those wheels that were installed on the VAZ 2106 by the manufacturer, tires with the following dimensional parameters were used:
Disk options | Tire sizes |
4.5JX13ET37 | 155/70R13 |
5JX13ET29 | 175/70R13 |
The numbers in the tire parameters mean the width in mm, separated by a fraction - the profile height as a percentage of the width, 13 - the rim diameter in inches. Other wheels and tires that were considered by the manufacturer as standard and acceptable for installation:
Disk options | Tire sizes |
5.5JX13ET35-32 | 175/70R13 |
5.5JX14ET29 | 175/65R14 |
6JX14ET29 | 185/60R14 |
Parameters of standard nuts
In the factory assembly, M12x1.25 bolts were used to fasten the disks. Standard bolts from VAZ-2106 wheels can only be used to fasten stamped steel wheels. When replacing with alloy wheels, the bolts must also be replaced. The diameter and thread pitch will remain the same. The overall length and shape of the cone under the head will change.
The thickness of cast discs is greater than that of stamped ones. Therefore, the fasteners must be longer. The conical thickening under the head is the clamping surface of the bolt. If the bolts are replaced with studs, the standard nuts should have a similar surface.
The pressing surface can be not only conical, but also flat or spherical in configuration. The choice of bolts or nuts according to the profile of the clamping surface depends on the shape of the recesses in the holes of the disks, since their contours must completely coincide. This will ensure reliable clamping density. The most common conical version of the clamping circuit. For cast wheels, the cone is more pronounced than for stamps, and its angle is 60°.
Important! After installing new alloy wheels, the first time you need to regularly check the tightness of the bolts or nuts until the soft metal is finally compacted under the influence of loads. If this is not done, spontaneous loosening of the bolt may occur.
What drives can be installed
With the installation of standard disks everything is very clear. Stamped steel wheels perfectly match the parameters of the hub, and together with the tires, they completely fit into the wheel arch of the car. However, their heavy weight reduces dynamic performance and increases fuel consumption.
To improve these indicators, you can install light alloy wheel options. In addition to optimizing technical characteristics, the appearance of the car is also significantly improved. Today's aftermarket offers aluminum, magnesium and titanium rims. They are much more expensive than stamped ones, but lower fuel costs partially offset such costs.
When choosing replacement options, when purchasing a new rim you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
- Manufacturer reliability. You should not buy products from unknown manufacturers. After all, everyone claims the high quality of their goods, but no one knows how things really are.
- Technical specifications. When choosing a disk, at a minimum, you need to take into account the dimensions and technical parameters of the car's hub and wheel arch. If the product exceeds the standard parameters, then you need to make sure that you can select the appropriate adapters or the right type of tires.
- Material of manufacture. The disc material must be certified and meet all safety requirements
- Place of purchase. It is better to buy new discs at official retail outlets, because not only the product itself, but also the technical passport and quality certificate can be counterfeited.
Disc radius options
The cars were equipped by the manufacturer with R13 wheels, which combine technical and operational convenience. They were appreciated by owners who value the attractiveness and practicality of driving.
But if you want to update the appearance of the car and make it as solid as possible, it is recommended to pay attention to R14-15 and even R16 wheels, while providing the corresponding technical advantages.
Due to the fact that manufacturers have tried to carefully study the design features, car enthusiasts can count on ease of use in accordance with the established rules. Even a large radius will look perfect and will not cause a violation of the technological features of the vehicle.
But, as practice shows, it will be difficult for an inexperienced driver to drive a car on large rims, so it is recommended to gradually switch to them so as not to encounter operational inconveniences.
Minimum and maximum possible parameters of non-standard disks
Selecting non-standard disks is associated with certain difficulties. This applies to the boundaries of the wheel arch, hub parameters, overhang and permissible rim width.
Despite the fact that at the factory only 13-inch wheels were installed on the VAZ-2106, and only 14-inch wheels were considered as replacement options, 15 and even 16-inch wheels are also applicable for installation in this car model.
- The R 15-inch version is more suitable for driving in urban environments. Bad roads can cause them to wear out quickly.
- R To a large extent, this size is set only to improve the appearance of the car. Use on bad roads can lead to damage to the rims and wheel arch.
In the latest VAZ models, manufacturers abandoned their usual 4x98 mm bolt pattern in favor of the more universal 4x100 mm. With the use of eccentrics, a difference of 2 mm can be solved. Other bolt patterns require the installation of additional adapter spacers.
The maximum rim width provided by the manufacturer is 6 inches with an offset of 29 mm. When installing a wider version, you will have to adjust the offset using spacers. But you need to understand that wide rims can worsen the car’s handling. In addition, they are more susceptible to drifts in bad weather or during the winter season.
To increase the level of driving comfort, using new alloy wheels is not only possible, but also necessary. But, based on safety and common sense considerations, it is worth sticking to the standard factory parameters.
Tires for VAZ 2121
Option for VAZ 2121
Many jeep car owners decide to buy mud tires when they go to a forest belt or other place where there is no asphalt. Often such trips end in the very first pit, when the car is loaded into a “porridge”. After such life situations, the owners of a VAZ SUV understand that off-road travel without special tires will result in problems.
On a note.
Mud tires are all-season tires for jeeps, which are required for use on powerful cars in extreme conditions and complete absence of roads. These tires provide excellent grip no matter what the road conditions are.
Externally, such wheels are distinguished by a massive tread, large sipes and the ability to self-clean. When selecting components, you need to consider the following points:
- If the driver wants to use components in winter, you need to select the softest tires.
- If the car will be used mainly on gravel and in steppe conditions, it is right to choose the hardest tires.
Mud tires have some differences from other types of wheels.
Among them the main points stand out:
- Tires have a higher tread pattern.
- The lamellas have a larger area, the interval between them is greater.
- There are powerful lugs, which often extend to the side of the rubber.
- There is an improved cord that protects mud tires from various types of “injuries”.
If you use them on a wet road, the braking distance will become longer. Fuel consumption will increase slightly, and if you turn the car at high speeds, you will notice a “swimming” effect.
Attention!
Mud tires for VAZ 14 are an excellent solution for jeeps when operating in conditions where there is no asphalt road.
