What other tires and wheels are suitable for the Grant?

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

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

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

• R14 wheels on Granta can be installed with the following tire parameters: 175/60 ​​R14, 175/55 R14, 175/50 R14, 175/45 R14, 175/40 R14, 185/55 R14, 185/50 R14, 185/45 R14 , 185/40 R14, 195/50 R14, 195/45 R14, 195/40 R14, 205/55 R14, 205/50 R14, 205/45 R14, 205/40 R14 and 205/32 R14.

• R17 wheels for the Grant (the same number voted for R13 wheels); it is recommended to install them with tires: 185/40 R17, 195/40 R17 and 205/32 R17.

Don't forget about the rim width:

What does the size of tires and wheels affect?

Increasing disc diameter

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

Winter tires on Lada Granta

Now let's see which winter tires to choose for the Lada Granta:

Viatti Brina Nordico

A relatively new model, developed by the German Continental together with Italian engineers, and put into production at the facilities of the Nizhnekamsk tire plant.

An asymmetrical tread pattern, a combination of middle blocks with rows of studs along the edges and variable sidewall stiffness technology ensure safe movement and stability when cornering and when crossing uneven roads.

Toyo Observe Garit G3-Ice

Winter tires from the Japanese Toyo are deservedly considered one of the best. If previously only sellers and those who drove it knew about this, then a test carried out at the test site not so long ago left no doubt.

Observe Garit G3-Ice tires competed with the Finnish Hakkapeliitta-7, slightly inferior to it in snowy areas and taking the lead on the compacted track. Experts believe that the whole point is in the studs, which protrude beyond the surface of the tire by 1.2 mm more than normal.

Goodyear UltraGrip 600

Another new product. Atypical tread pattern - as is the case with all Goodyear models. Looking at it, you get the impression that a solid wheel is simply cut into grooves. They provide the tire with excellent handling in loose snow.

Another distinctive feature is the hexagon-shaped studs, which make it possible to quickly accelerate and brake safely.

Hankook W429 i Pike

Winter studded tires of different generations from the Korean manufacturer Hankook have long established themselves as an excellent combination of price and quality. The latest model has been slightly redesigned; the shape of some tread elements has slightly changed, although the symmetry of the pattern and directionality have been preserved.

Massive blocks on the sides replaced narrow ribs, and the tire began to work better in icy conditions.

Sphere of influence of tires and wheels

To understand which tires are best suited for the Lada Granta, you first need to find out what the size of the tires and wheels of the car affects. Service station specialists note that when replacing tires, one should be guided by the fact that the difference in outer diameter is minimal.

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

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

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

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

Changing your tire size will definitely lead to changes in your vehicle's handling accuracy. As the volume of the tire becomes larger, the scale of the space in contact with the road surface increases. This provides ample opportunities for maneuverability.

The best models for summer

Now let's present several worthy summer models:

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150

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

Nitto NT860

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

Kormoran Impulser B2

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

Matador MP 47 Hectorra

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

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

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

Car wheels are an integral and one of the most important parts of any vehicle. The Lada Granta model is suitable for several sizes of wheels and tires, which the manufacturer installs depending on the overall design of the car.

The most frequently produced Grant models are cars with stamped wheels with diameters R13 and R14. Relatively recently, the size range has expanded with R15 and R16 wheels.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

The size of the wheels and tires significantly affects the overall performance and behavior of the car on the road. Therefore, the manufacturer does not recommend installing wheels on the LADA Granta whose rim diameter exceeds R15. Owners of cars of this model come to the same opinion. When surveying car enthusiasts, it was revealed that most drivers use wheels with a diameter of 15.

According to technical specifications, factory-equipped vehicles may have the following tire sizes:

Thus, the most suitable tires for a car of this model are R13 and R14 tires. This is a classic size for the Russian car manufacturer. These tires are easy to find on the market. Another advantage is their affordable price.

The possibility of installing R15 tires on the Grant is not excluded. When leaving the assembly line, a car with a rim diameter of 15 has a tire size of 185/55. However, they will fit well with tires from the 175/70 or 185/60 size range.

The difference in the size of the wheels and tires for them affects a number of indicators - the appearance of the car, its behavior while driving, handling, road grip, ride comfort, noise indicators, fuel consumption, tire wear resistance. Therefore, when choosing the size of tires and wheels, you should first familiarize yourself with the table below, where “+” is an improvement, “0” is no change, “-” is deterioration, “>” is an increase.

Factory specifications of tires and wheels for LadaGranta

According to the factory specifications, the original tires supplied from the factory have a radius of R14 and R13. R14 is a fairly classic option for small cars. Both wheels and tires with these dimensional characteristics are inexpensive and are quite easy to find on the market. The situation is similar with the R13. Therefore, when analyzing which discs are suitable for the nagrant, you should keep this point in mind.

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

Lada Granta Sport tires have a factory size of R16. The dimensions of the tire itself are 195/50. On the Grant Sport, the tire size dictates that the rack is shortened, allowing even the smallest wheel to fit into the space for it. With this wheel diameter you can safely install tires of sizes 175/50, 184/45 and even 195/40.

Basic tire sizes

In principle, to find out what size tires can be installed on a Lada Granta, just look at the passport or at the plate on the inside of the car door.

Nevertheless, we present to your attention a list of parameters that the manufacturer declares using the example of modifications for the 2022 release:

Factory tire pressure parameters LadaGranta

The pressure in the grant tires of the basic factory configuration, namely R13 and R14 at partial load looks like this: R13 (175/70) - 0.19/0.19 (1.9/1.9) R14 (175/65) - 0 .20/0.20 (2.0/2.0) Data are presented in the ratio “kg/cm2”. The pressure in Grant Sport tires is approximately at the same level, adjusted for the dimensional characteristics of the wheel, namely R16.

-One of the disadvantages is the soft sidewall;

— At the same time, the tires are relatively wear-resistant;

— Tigar Sigura takes third place in the 2022 summer tire rating driving r14;

— Balances without any problems;

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

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

Winter tires for Lada Granta

The selection of winter tires for the Lada Granta should be based on the characteristics of the terrain on which you will have to drive. If the roads are not cleared enough, and the winter threatens frequent thaws followed by frosts, then in this case you should use studded tires.

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

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

Selection of tires by model

Knowing the size of the “shoes”, all that remains is to choose the style. Any car should have two sets of tires: winter and summer. Winter tires are installed without waiting for frost, but when the thermometer regularly drops below +5 degrees.

To save on the purchase of winter tires, some drivers make the mistaken decision to drive all-season tires. Therefore, we will make a small digression and explain why this should not be done.

When and what tires are needed for a car?

Let’s say right away that there are no tires that behave stably in any conditions. Why then is the tire called all-season? Because of the tread, which must have a deep relief and grooves through which water, dirt, and slush can easily pass.

All-season tires are tires that are comfortable to drive in the off-season, when the air temperature varies from +7 to -10 degrees. It is often marked M+S (mud/snow), which confuses many.

But in fact, an all-season tire is a summer tire and is not suitable for year-round driving, even in the southern regions of the country.

• All mud tires, and all winter tires, have an all-season tread. The only difference is in the rubber composition, which is designed for positive or negative wheel operation. On a winter tire, for better grip on icy roads, many thread-like sipes are made, which distinguishes it from all-season tires.
• Studless winter tires are popularly called Velcro. On such tires, the car feels great in icy conditions, but when the temperature outside is consistently positive (above +6-7 degrees), it must be changed to summer shoes.
• Winter tires are much softer, so if you try to drive them in the summer, they will wear out quickly. Studded tires are better suited for driving on snow, so when in winter you have to drive not on cleared asphalt, but on a country road, it is better to give preference to studded tires.
• All year round, all-season vehicles are driven mainly by trucks and buses, on which changing wheels is a labor-intensive process, and besides, there are usually more than four of them. True, in severe frosts and snowfalls they have a hard time riding on such tires.

And another important factor is for those who spend a lot of time driving. A tire for winter use is much softer than a summer one, but it is also noisy when driving, especially the studded one.

The summer one, and it is also an all-season one, in severe frosts “steals” and just rattles. And this is not to mention the fact that you will not so much ride on the ice as perform figure skating.

A short checklist - How to buy tires for the Lada Granta correctly

1. You should look for the right tires, keeping in mind the factory dimensional specifications. The size of the selected tires must match these data. 2. Pay attention to the tread pattern. Driving comfort largely depends on it.

3. Pay attention to the width parameters. The acceleration and braking of a car is affected by the width of the spot converging with the road surface. 4. Particular attention should be paid to the bore diameter. Tires that are excessively high or wide can damage the suspension, while tires that are too narrow will increase the load on the bearings. 5. It is important to consider the maximum speed index and load capacity index. 6. Treadwear, Traction, Temperature and MaxPressure data provide information on the tire's factory wear life, braking performance, temperature resistance and pressure limit for the tire respectively.

Today the market is filled with many different brands and modifications of tires, both for summer and winter. Therefore, when purchasing tires of a particular brand, car enthusiasts only need to know the required tire sizes.

The question “which tires can be supplied on a grant” cannot be answered unambiguously. As with other cars, choosing tires and wheels is a priority for every driver, since the correct selection will ensure a comfortable and safe ride.

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