Tires directly affect fuel consumption, vehicle cross-country ability, its behavior on the road, and noise level. The appearance of the vehicle also depends on the tires.
AvtoVAZ recommends a certain wheel size for Lada Largus. Let's consider the parameters allowed by the manufacturer and study possible variations. Let's get acquainted with the top 5 winter and summer tires (according to owner reviews).
Lada Largus is represented by three models (Largus R90, F90, Cross). Options with 7 or 5 seats are produced (except for the F90 cargo vehicle). The basic requirements for tires and wheels differ only for the Lada Largus CROSS. Parameters important when choosing wheels are indicated in the user manual. The recommended index of load capacity and speed, the standard air pressure are also set in the instructions.
| Model | Size, load capacity index | Center diameter wheel holes (DIA) | Radius between holes (PCD) | Number of nuts, pcs. | Wheel width, inches | Disc offset (ET) |
| R90 | 185/65R 15 88 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 6J | 50 |
| F90 | 185/65R 15 92 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 6J | 50 |
| CROSS | 205/55R 16 91 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 6J | 50 |
Owners consider the categories of acceptable sizes. One of the reasons is the range of prices; manufacturers have better options among non-standard tires. Sometimes rubber remains from an old car. Some people think that the larger the wheel, the better. Let's learn how to choose safe wheels.
Winter tires for Largus: tips
The Lada Largus Cross is a car built on the basis of the Dacia Logan and rebuilt for the needs of the domestic market.
It is a joint project between the two and Avtovaz to expand the presence of both brands on the Russian market. Produced since 2012. Over the entire period of production, it has gained quite a large number of fans due to its versatility, relatively reasonable price and high level of quality. Produced in five- and seven-seat versions. There is a model in the form of a cargo van or a passenger station wagon. The “Cross” version is the most expensive and sporty. Alloy wheels and many other interesting things are installed on it. Like any other car, the Largus Cross is subject to tire wear or the need to replace them due to the change of season. Regardless of the reason, tire replacement should always occur in a timely manner. It is important that the new set of tires matches the old one in diameter and width, otherwise the products will not install on the wheel rim. In any case, you need to timely, efficiently and correctly select a new set of winter tires from the large assortment of products presented in stores. The characteristics of products can differ radically, so the choice should be of the highest quality possible.
Winter tires for Largus Cross, like any other model of the concern, can only be used in cold periods with an average temperature below zero degrees Celsius. Temperatures exceeding the specified temperature are definitely not suitable and require an urgent transition to summer or all-season tires. The tread depth of winter tires is much greater than that of summer tires. Also, a particularly important point when choosing is that tires for the summer or winter seasons have a radically different composition of chemical elements. This composition is prepared by the manufacturer for a specific temperature regime. The composition of winter tires is made precisely so that the products can withstand low temperatures and have maximum grip on the road surface even in very bad conditions.
Largus Cross Black Edition
When the average temperature rises above five degrees Celsius, winter tires become soft and wear out very quickly. The use of this type of rubber in warm weather is prohibited. Summer ones, on the contrary, harden very much at low temperatures. In this regard, a high-quality choice of wheels specifically for the winter season is of exceptional importance.
Three types of winter tires that can be installed on a Largus car:
- Scandinavian tires. Since the most severe winters occur in the northern Scandinavian countries, the type of tire has acquired an identical name. These tires are manufactured and intended for use in very cold and snowy winters. Their tread is made in the form of diamonds, which are arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
- European type of tires. Intended for use in conditions of moderate and fairly warm winters with rare precipitation. Since most European countries have a relatively warm climate, such products can be used in moderately difficult conditions. The tread is made in the form of a “Christmas tree”.
- Studded tires. They give the vehicle maximum efficiency when driving on ice and snow-covered road surfaces. The use of such tires will give you confidence when moving on ice. However, on ordinary asphalt such products are noisy and useless. They are distinguished by steel studs inserted into the tread, which provide maximum controllability in ice and snow.

Kama-Euro-519
Description of the tire. Designed for the harsh and unpredictable Russian winter. The studs are factory-made, so the studs hold firmly and do not fly out.
Two-layer protector. Internal with the addition of natural rubber and increased elasticity.
The outer one is tougher. This increases the service life and securely fixes the spikes.
The sipes are arranged in a fan pattern to increase traction on ice and snow. A deep tread pattern and powerful shoulder blocks improve handling, maneuverability, and braking properties.
The tires are budget, but perform well on asphalt and dirt roads, compacted and loose snow, and icy surfaces.
At speed they are somewhat noisy, the sidewall is a bit harsh, so driving comfort decreases at speed.
Pros of Kama-Euro-519
- Very cheap.
- Handles the road well at speed.
- Wear-resistant.
- Controlled braking.
- Compact spikes.
Cons of Kama-Euro-519
- A bit harsh.
Winter tires for Largus Cross: which ones to choose
If for most of the year the roads in the area are in poor condition, are not cleared of snow and are regularly covered with ice, then the most optimal option would be to use studded tires. However, it should be remembered that this type is completely useless on asphalt. If the car is used more often on normal roads in the city, then such tires will only wear out a lot. Their spines will quickly wear off or fall off.
In a city where the roads are often and quickly cleared of snow and are in decent condition, a regular Velcro is more suitable.

Factory tires and review of Kama
The Kama that came from the factory ran about 40 thousand. What can we say? The tires passed the earth's equator without difficulty. I would ride them for one more season, but the tread height is already at the permissible limit. There is only one verdict - replacement. Moreover, the car began to pull to the side when driving. Balancing and pressure didn't help. With the new kit the car drives smoothly.
Over the course of five years, the tires survived nine tire fittings. There was no damage during assembly/disassembly of the wheels. Balancing always took place without problems.
There is a lot written online that Kama is noisy. Perhaps, but personally there is nothing to compare with. Good sound insulation in Largus. Therefore, all external sounds are very clearly audible in the cabin. Tire noise certainly contributes to the overall cacophony, but not so much that it is very annoying. The roar from driving over pits and potholes is much more audible.
On fresh surfaces, the rustle of the tires is almost inaudible. It is drowned out by the noise of the engine. As the asphalt deteriorates, the sound from the wheels increases.
Handling on the Kama is quite as expected. The new ones are much better.
When driving on wet asphalt, the car drives confidently. No surprises. Hydroplaning is of course present. At high speeds (more than 40-50 km/h) it is better not to drive through large puddles. It is not safe.
What non-standard sizes can be supplied?
Buy tires based on the full diameter of the wheel. It shouldn't be too different from the standard one.
Standard sizes allowed for installation.
| Model | Size, load capacity index | Center diameter wheel holes (DIA) | Radius between holes (PCD) | Number of nuts, pcs. | Wheel width, inches | Disc offset (ET) |
| R90 | 185/65R 15 88 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 6J | 50 |
| F90 | 185/65R 15 92 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 6J | 50 |
| CROSS | 205/55R 16 91 H | 60,1 | 100 | 4 | 5 ½, 6, 6 ½ J | 50 |
Attention. Replacing recommended sizes with acceptable ones will affect a number of characteristics. The dependence is shown in the table.
| Parameter | Increasing tire width | Increasing rim width |
| Keeping the car on the road | will improve | will improve |
| Accuracy of maintaining a given direction of movement | will improve | will improve |
| Road grip coefficient | will increase on dry roads | does not affect |
| Resistance to aquaplaning effect | will get worse | without changes |
| Traffic noise | will intensify | does not affect |
| Feelings when driving on rough roads | more comfortable | does not affect |
| Fuel consumption | will increase | will increase |
| Tire wear time | will speed up | without changes |
Be sure to calculate the load capacity index. Depending on the model, 88 (560 kg), 92 (630 kg) and 91 (615 kg) are allowed. The speed index is indicated next to the load capacity. T – up to 190 km/h, H – up to 210, V – up to 240.
An approximate formula will come in handy. Calculate the mass of the car, the weight of all possible passengers and cargo. Divide by 4 (wheels). Add a little extra.
Example: 1330 + 350 (passengers) + 170 (cargo) = "" 1850 / 4 = "" 462.5 kg + 40 = "" 502.5. In this case, a coefficient of 88 is acceptable. For summer tires, you will most likely need more.
Important! Installing large wheels can lead to incorrect operation of the ABS and electronic dynamic stabilization system of the vehicle.
The lighter the tires and wheels, the faster the vehicle accelerates. Thus, a car will accelerate to 100 km/h 0.2 seconds faster if the wheel weight is 2 kg less.
It is necessary to pay attention to the production date of the tire. Indicated on the side as a four-digit code. Explanation: the first two digits are the week of issue, the second are the year. The seller is obliged to sell tires within 5 years from the date of production (subject to proper storage).

Belshina Artmotion Snow
Description of the tire. Designed for the harsh northern winter. In severe frosts it does not tan.
In the center of the tread there is a longitudinal groove with jagged edges. The teeth are responsible for course stability, and the groove itself removes water, snow and slush.
The blocks feature serrated edges to improve traction, maneuvering and braking. Zigzag sipes provide better braking.
The model is budget, cheaper tires are quite difficult to find. Durable, travels well on packed or shallow snow.
The structure is reinforced with a cord of nylon and metal wire, however, they do not weigh much. There is no need to expect miracles from the model.
Her element is a calm ride. At speeds above 90 km/h, handling deteriorates, so it’s better not to drive. It doesn't behave very stable in a rut.
Pros of Belshina Artmotion Snow
- Inexpensive.
- Not noisy.
- Soft sidewall.
- The tread is deep.
- It goes well in the snow.
Cons of Belshina Artmotion Snow
- Doesn't like driving in ruts.
Viatti Brina V-521
Description of the tire. Best used within large cities.
The rubber is soft and allows for a stable, comfortable ride in any conditions: on dry and wet asphalt, in slush and with snow on the road.
Three longitudinal tracks and a developed system of deep grooves do an excellent job of removing snow slush and water, so you don’t have to worry about hydroplaning or slushplaning.
Powerful tread blocks with increased elasticity increase cross-country ability in snow and mud, while reliably adhering to clean asphalt.
The checkers of the central zone are shaped to promote directional stability.
The model uses VSS technology with variable sidewall stiffness. This approach allows the wheel to adapt to the road without reducing the level of comfort of movement.
Despite the softness, the rubber is durable, wear-resistant, and is not afraid of impacts on bumps and holes.
A decent winter option for places where spikes are not recommended.
Pros of Viatti Brina V-521
- Good adhesion properties.
- Good cross-country ability on compacted and loose snow.
- Durable.
- Wear-resistant.
- The price is not high.
Cons of Viatti Brina V-521
- On icy surfaces, grip is worse than on snow.
Other sizes
Some desperate owners strive to experiment in this area and install tires with different characteristics on their station wagons. Often people are prompted to do this by the desire to distinguish their “horse” from the gray mass of cars of the same type.
The most popular “experimental” size is “195x65xR15”. Much less often, owners install tires with dimensions “195x60xR15” or “205x60xR15”. Note that the space present inside the body arches allows the use of tires with other sizes:
- for “R16” wheels: “195x55xR16”, “195x60xR16” and “205x55xR16”;
- applicable to “R17” wheels: “205x45xR17”, “205x50xR17” and “225x45xR17”;
- with “R18” wheels: “215x35xR18” and “215x40xR18”.
Larger instances should be installed with extreme caution. Such “rollers” can lead to unpredictable changes in the behavior of a car on the road surface. This is especially pronounced in unfavorable weather.
How increasing the wheel size can affect the behavior of the car can be found in this table.
One should not discount the fact that increased sizes of wheels and tires can cause incorrect operation of the following systems responsible for active safety:
- "ABS" - system for preventing blocking of brake mechanisms;
- “ESP” is an option responsible for directional stability.
DIY tire replacement rules
In order to save money, many car enthusiasts are thinking about replacing tires themselves. The process is not the easiest, but doable. To work, you will need a balloon, mounting blades, a jack and a compressor or pump. When performing the procedure, you should take into account some tricks, without which this event is doomed to failure.
Removing the tire from the rim
First you need to remove the wheel from the hub. Then it is laid on the ground so that the nipple nipple is at the top. All the air is released from the tube or tire, in the case of a tubeless tire, and the nipple nipple is recessed inside. You need to stand on the wheel with your feet so that the edge of the tire separates from the rim of the disc. Sometimes extra force may be required if the rubber sticks to the metal.
A mounting blade is inserted into the gap between the edge of the tire and the disk, then a second one. The main task is to turn the sidewall of the tire beyond the edge of the rim. If the wheel has a tube, it is pulled out through the resulting gap. If the tire is tubeless, you need to unscrew the entire side of the tire by the rim, then unscrew the second sidewall of the tire using the same edge of the rim and remove it from the rim.
When working, you must apply considerable force and be careful not to damage the disc. Cast products made from light alloy materials are especially fragile.
Mounting a tire on a rim
Before installation, make sure that the tire is the correct size and has no defects. It is recommended to remove the balancing weights and the old nipple. When installing, you should take into account the markings on the tire, usually the direction of travel in the form of arrows.
To facilitate the installation task, you can apply a soap solution to the edge of the tire and the rim of the disk, but within reasonable limits, otherwise the tire will slip. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. First, one edge of the tire is put on, after which the second one is wound on the rim.
Tire pressure and inflation
For wheels with a tube, everything is simple - you need to inflate the tube more than required in the manual (the pressure in Largus tires is no more than 2.1 atmospheres). This is necessary so that the tube sits evenly in the tire, after which you can deflate the air to the required values. For a tubeless tire the process is more complicated. When you try to inflate it, air will escape through the gap between the edge of the rim and the sidewalls of the tire.
You need to inflate any other wheel to 4 atmospheres. After this, remove the hose from the pump and put the end without a fitting on the nipple of the installed tire, the other end with a fitting is put on the inflated tire. Air under high pressure and at high speed will quickly fill an empty tire. This will be enough for it to sit tightly on the rim without having time to let air through the gaps. But it’s better to go to a tire shop, where this procedure will take a few minutes using special equipment. After the procedure, you will need to balance the wheels, which cannot be done in a garage without a machine.
Unlike all previous AvtoVAZ models, larger wheels are initially installed on Largus. This way, this model further emphasizes its relationship with other brands. Lada Largus is a joint product of AvtoVAZ and the Nissan-Renault concern.
I’ll say right away that all my previous cars always had imported tires, both summer and winter, and one can even say that I was never lucky enough to drive a car on Russian tires. And now I would like to share my impressions after the Lada Largus, on which Amtel Planet tires were installed from the factory.
So, after my first trip around the city, I didn’t feel much discomfort, since the speed rarely reached 60 km/h, only sometimes during sharp turns the car slightly drifted on turns, but I thought that this was quite acceptable.
But when I drove onto a country road, I realized that it was simply unsafe to continue driving on such skating rinks. Again, at low speeds no shortcomings are felt, but as soon as Largus reaches a speed of over 90 km/h, then what I have always feared immediately begins. If the car gets into a rut, it can be quite problematic to hold it, despite the obedient electric power steering. The Lada Largus behaves just as unstable on long turns when moving fast.
What parameters and characteristics should you pay attention to when choosing tires for the Lada Largus Cross?
When choosing tires for the Lada Largus model, you must follow the dimensions presented below for both the tires themselves and the wheels.
Recommended tire size:
As for disks, the parameters and sizes for them are as follows:
- Disc bolt pattern - 4×100.
- Rim width - 7.0J, inches.
- Rim offset - ET 40, millimeters.
- The diameter of the centering hole is CO 60.1, millimeters.
In the factory configuration, the Largus version is equipped with 14, 15 or 16-inch wheels. For the “Cross” version, only 16-inch wheels are installed. You can choose winter tires for this car without much difficulty, the main thing is to comply with all the required dimensions.

A tire is not just rubber that softens the passage of uneven surfaces, but a functional design characterized by a complex structure. It ensures wheel traction on any road surface, effective braking and realizes the traction characteristics of the engine. Tires affect the vehicle's maneuverability, fuel consumption and the noise level created by the vehicle.

What to avoid
The climate in Russia rarely indulges in mild winters. Usually at this time, the weather is dry or wet snow, sometimes with rain, which causes ice on the road. Many car enthusiasts try to save money on winter tires by replacing them with an all-season equivalent. But, as practice has shown, this is a dubious method. All-season tires are absolutely not adapted to cold, humid climates, which will practically not provide the necessary grip on icy surfaces. In addition, it is fraught with an emergency situation. Automotive experts agreed on one opinion - the tires on Largus should be winter.
What is the tire pressure
The tire pressure level is specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
| Model | Front tire pressure, kgf/cm² | Rear tire pressure, kgf/cm² |
| R90 | 2,4 | 2,6 |
| F90 | 2,4 | 3,0 |
| CROSS | 2,4 | 2,6 |
Constant monitoring of this parameter is necessary. Fluctuations to a lesser or greater extent affect the behavior of the car, efficiency, and driving safety. Let's look at the relationship more specifically.
Pressure higher than specified:
- the tire is harder, the comfort of movement decreases;
- the risk of damaging the wheel when hitting a stone or hole increases;
- grip on the road deteriorates;
- braking distance increases;
- the tread pattern wears unevenly;
- wheels rotate easier;
- machine stability improves.
Pressure below normal:
- fuel consumption increases;
- rubber wear increases (due to an increase in the contact patch area);
- car steering accuracy deteriorates;
- stability on the road surface decreases (due to changes in the angle of inclination);
- the risk of skidding increases.
Rating of the best all-season tires for Lada Largus
Tigar ALL SEASON
Description of the tire. Properties are balanced for year-round use. The pattern of the central part of the tread is in the form of a fish skeleton.
It allows you to effectively remove water, slush, and dirt from under the tire. The risk of aquaplaning is reduced and maneuverability is increased.
Powerful tread blocks on the shoulder areas increase traction, improve cornering, and shorten braking distances on wet and dry asphalt.
Rubber contains silica. Thanks to it, adhesion to the road improves and fuel consumption decreases.
The sidewall is soft and elastic. This allows you to move on the worst roads quite comfortably, because... tires absorb vibration and shock.
But it’s better not to rub against the curb - there is a high risk of tearing the tire.
Pros of Tigar ALL SEASON
- Good cross-country ability in slush and mud.
- Not afraid of aquaplaning.
- Budget cost.
- Well absorbs shocks and vibrations on bad roads.
- Shock resistant.
- Soft.
- Well balanced.
Cons of Tigar ALL SEASON
- The sidewall is soft, easy to tear on the curb.
Users note that this tire is well suited for those who do not want to change tires in summer and winter.
Installing winter tires
There are no problems with installing tires on LADA Largus. However, in some cases, when the car owner wants to install fairly large samples of winter tires, adjustment of the wheel arches may be required. It is also necessary to take into account the size factor: three-dimensional wheel models can bulge or rub when the steering wheel is turned to the maximum, for example, when reversing. An important point will be the size of tires and wheels. If the wheel is smaller, the car holds the road better, accelerates faster and becomes less fuel-hungry. The selected winter tires for Largus Cross must meet the recommended parameters described above.
I'm going shopping
There is no online store on cordiant76.ru in the classical sense. You can register on the website, add an item to your cart, make a purchase, but you can only pay in the store itself, or to the courier. Maybe it’s better this way, then there will be fewer problems with returns and claims from customers.
When placing an order, you must indicate the number of tires, enter your First and Last Name, as well as a contact phone number. Decide whether tire service is needed or not. It's paid. For R15 they ask 1440 rubles. Next, you need to select delivery options: free pickup or paid delivery in Yaroslavl.
I chose pickup and placed my order. The cost of three tires amounted to 6,510 thousand rubles. The next morning the manager called and said that the wheels were in stock, come. I went for them only in the evening. Having a store open after six is a really convenient thing, especially the one you need today.
We had to drive from the center to Pozharsky Street along a dead road. Pit on pit. By the time you get there, you'll break more than one tire. In the rain it's a whole obstacle course. But it doesn’t matter, there is a tire shop along the way. You immediately buy new ones and install tires right there. Comfortable.
The road was dry. Got there without incident. The relaxed managers greeted us without enthusiasm. The order for three wheels was remembered. Everything was found. I paid and took the wheels. They even helped me carry one to the car. Do you understand the service?
The smell of new rubber spread throughout the cabin. We go back through the pits and ditches.
Options
The AvtoVAZ concern added the Cross prefix to the model name for a reason. It is understood that the model has increased off-road capabilities.
The car's ground clearance was increased and the base wheels were installed a size larger than those of the base model. There are no options for replacing R16 disks with others.
The parameters of the basic wheel rims are as follows:
- drilling parameter is 4×100;
- wheel width - 7.0 J;
- disc offset is ET 40;
- centering hole size - 60.1.
Knowing all the various methods for producing wheel rims and their advantages, you can choose a set of quality products for Lada Largus. In order for the disc to fit perfectly, you also need to know the basic parameters and dimensions of the mounts.
About summer tires for Largus 185 65 R15
According to car owners, a tire from Renault Logan 5.5×14/4×100 D60.1 ET43 is ideal, but the Lada Largus will need a tire size with parameters 185/70 R14. Factory-assembled 16-inch Largus Cross alloy wheels. They have unique parameters: width is 6 inches, drilling is 4x100, offset is ET50, CO is D60.1. The declared size of parts for the Lada Cross corresponds to 205/65 R16 tires. AvtoVAZ supplies Continental Premium Contact tires with a low profile (55% of the width).
Selection of discs
Sometimes, along with the tires, the rims also need to be replaced. The factory version is presented in the form of a 16-inch sample and is installed on absolutely the entire automobile range of the brand. If replacement is necessary, for example, new tires on Largus Cross or a failed (damaged) disk, it is recommended to install a similar one in size. The parameters must be accurate, which will extend the life of not only the disk itself, but also protect the driver.
Not all car enthusiasts follow this rule, trying to install wheels according to the principle of a spectacular appearance. This will not improve the driving performance of the vehicle, but it will definitely cause problems. The essence lies in the factory specifications, which are adjusted to every detail of the car. This is the permissible rim width, diameter, number of holes for bolts, as well as the distance between the latter. Neglecting this rule can cause the following problems:
- car suspension wear;
- the risk of not receiving warranty service;
- problems in the chassis;
- safety and vehicle control.
Thus, if winter tires on a Lada Largus Cross require replacement, you should also worry about the rims. It is worth choosing based on parameters and technical data, and not on an attractive, external effect. Otherwise, this may lead to a number of malfunctions, an emergency situation on the road, and, as a result, monetary costs for repairs.
Standard tire sizes
The size of tires and wheels for them has a significant impact on the behavior of the vehicle on the road. This fully applies to both the popular family station wagon LADA Largus (2012) and its off-road version LADA Largus Cross (2015). Both models are produced by the domestic company AvtoVAZ.
The Largus is equipped with Amtel Planet DC tires. Amtel is a domestic brand owned by the largest international company Amtel-Vredestein NV. Stamped wheel rims for them are produced by the famous Italian company Magnetto Wheeles.
As a rule, the manufacturer of any vehicle in the accompanying documentation indicates a number of wheel sizes that can be equipped with a specific car model. "LADA Largus" is an exception in this matter - "AvtoVAZ" in its operating manual indicates only one standard size of wheels and tires for them.

Summing up
Purchasing and installing winter tires on Largus or Largus Cross allows you to maintain maximum vehicle handling in winter. Of course, even the highest quality winter tires do not guarantee excellent driving in icy conditions. You should choose tires for winter based on the following parameters:
- Stability on ice.
- Hydroplaning.
- Speed qualities.
- Price.
- Brand.
The presented criteria will help you choose the most suitable copy of the Lada Largus. In winter, tires should help with handling, cope well with slush, and also not break the budget. The brand of rubber is not particularly important, due to the constant updating of the product line.
The best summer tires for Renault Largus
2021 rating of the best summer tires for Renault Largus for passenger cars based on reviews from motorists and assessments of independent experts on the website. Summary technical characteristics of tire models (speed index, presence of studs, diameter, profile width and height), pros and cons, reviews and tests, comparison of prices in sales companies and online stores in your city with the ability to buy with delivery and pickup.
The controllability of a car on a dry or snowy track (deep snow) depends on the quality of the rubber, which should ensure safe control (driving), effective braking and stability on the road (even on uneven surfaces). Winter and summer tires (depending on the season) have a special sipe structure, grooves and a directional tread pattern (provides a dry contact patch), a durable sidewall (shoulders), which is necessary for comfortable driving in specific conditions.
The composition of rubber includes silicon and polymer mixtures, which ensures wear resistance, as well as maintaining rubber elasticity at a certain air temperature (high, low). The choice of tires is made taking into account the model of a particular car. Choosing the right tires will ensure low fuel consumption and confidence when cornering at high speeds.
The special composition of the rubber mixture, combined with a thoughtful shape, gives the machine directional stability and wear resistance. A large selection of new tires allows you to choose the right model for a wide variety of and difficult conditions of use. This ensures minimal braking distance even on slippery surfaces. With the right tires, the car will not drive on the road.
The following tire sizes are suitable for Renault Largus:

Recommended wheel and tire sizes for Lada Largus
The size of tires and wheels not only adds style to the car, but also greatly influences the vehicle's performance on the road. Each manufacturer indicates acceptable standard sizes, and AvtoVAZ is no exception. In this review, we will look at the wheel size of the Lada Largus.
Usually, the manufacturer, depending on the modification of the car, indicates several acceptable wheel sizes, Lada Largus is an exception. The instruction manual indicates the only wheel size for all trim levels: 185/65R15 . Lada Largus wheel parameters: 6Jx15, offset (ET) for R15 = ET50. Wheel hub bolt pattern 4x100. Everyone knows that the Lada Largus is a 2006 Dacia Logan MCV adapted for the Russian market. The technical characteristics of the foreign car indicate exactly the same wheel size.
Based on reviews and surveys of Lada Largus car owners, we can summarize:
- The most popular tire size with a diameter of 14 inches turned out to be 185/70R14 , by the way, it is indicated in the table with tire pressure. Another less popular option is 165/80R14.
- The majority use the standard wheel size 185/65R15 . Another popular size of the same radius is 195/65R15 . A few installed 205/60R15 and 195/60R15 tires on their cars.
- Fans of larger wheels install tires: 205/55 R16 , 195/60 R16 and 195/55 R16.
- R17 wheels: 205/50R17 , 205/45R17, 225/45R17 or 215/50R17.
- Exclusive sizes: 215/35R18 and 215/40/18.
R is not a radius, but a designation of the radius of the tire, and the number is the diameter of the rim in inches. The most popular wheel sizes are shown in bold.
When choosing wheels, you should take into account the full diameter of the wheel; it should not differ much from the standard one. Compatibility table:
Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.
Don't forget about the rim width:
Decoding the Lada Largus tire size parameters
If you do not constantly work with rubber, and your experience with tires ends with purchasing a set once every few years, then you are unlikely to know all the designations printed on the tire. Let's figure out what each of them means.
For example, we have a factory Lada Largus tire with parameters 185/65R15 88H or T.
The first number indicates the width of the tire in millimeters, i.e. 185 mm. The second number is the height of the rubber, but not in millimeters, but as a percentage of the width, i.e. 65% of 185 mm, which equals 120.25 mm. Next comes the designation R. It is common to think that this is the radius, but this is not entirely true. The letter R indicates that the tire has a radial cord. And the number 15 is the mounting diameter of the rim in inches that the tire is designed for, i.e. 15x2.5 = 37.5 cm.
The next number is the load index per wheel. In our case, it is 88. To decipher the speed index, we will use a special table:
It turns out that the maximum load on one wheel of the Lada Largus is 560 kg.
Next comes a letter that specifies the permissible speed at which a car equipped with such a tire can be driven. We also take data from the table in which this designation is deciphered.
In our case, this is H, which equals 210 km/h.
These are the most basic parameters that allow you to choose the right tires. For the average buyer, this will be enough, but there is also extended information that you can find out by carefully examining the tire. For example, on each tire the manufacturer and model of rubber, the production date in the week and year of production format, the direction for installation on the disk, etc. are indicated.
Is there anything cheaper?
I slowed down, didn’t go to Yandex Market and didn’t look at prices in other offices. Of course, this should have been done before the purchase, and not, like me, after. Look, you could save a few hundred.
There are dozens of tire stores in Yaroslavl. From large federal to small local ones. Going around all the stores really wastes a lot of time. But it was interesting to compare prices on the Internet. Even after I bought everything.
The minimum price in Yaroslavl at which the Market offers Kama 185/65 R15 is 2160 rubles. But there is one minus. Not all sellers are represented here. Some people simply don’t work through this platform. Although it will be useful to look at the price order.
To complete the picture, it is better to use a regular web search. It will show much more than the Market. So, according to Yarik, I found the following options.
- yarshina76.ru — 2250 rub., in stock;
- Wheels for free - 2210 rubles. Delivery 4-6 days. The reviews are funny. Some people have tires that last 70-90 thousand and have little wear. This is how you should drive;
- shina76.ru — 2200 rub., in stock;
- vsekolesa76.ru RUB 2,140, in stock;
- formula76.ru - out of stock;
- 76koles.ru - out of stock;
- yarkoleso.ru - out of stock.
As you can see, the minimum is 2140 rubles. And they are located close to the center. Should have come here.
Options
There were already two options in my head. The first is the same Kama, the second is Cordiant RoadRunner.
The determining factor in the choice was financial costs. The savings scheme was like this. If we take the Kama, then we only needed to buy three additional tires. The fourth wheel would be the spare wheel. And for the spare tire you can send the tire that has worn out the least. It was once purchased to replace a damaged tire from the original factory set.
If you choose Cordiant, you need to take all five tires. Although they are comparable in price to the Kama, they are two wheels on top.
Since I was considering Cordiant, I looked for shoes on their official website. RoadRunner, which I had my eye on, cost 2,460 rubles. They offered Kama at a price of 2170 rubles. a piece. The difference is almost 300 rubles.
In the end, I decided to take Kama at 2170. But as will be seen later, I was in a hurry. It could have been cheaper and closer.
How to choose the right tire diameter
The choice of tires or wheels for the Lada Largus affects not only the external design of the car, but also the behavior of the vehicle on the roads. Car manufacturers indicate acceptable dimensions. Before installing the appropriate components, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic parameters. After all, replacement of products is carried out in order to improve driving performance.
The Largus instruction manual indicates only one acceptable size - 185/65 R15. Factories install stamped wheels on Largus 15 inches. In addition to the standard size declared by the manufacturer, car enthusiasts install 14-inch tires with a dimension of 185/70 R14. Among 15-inch tires, the tires chosen for Largus are 195/65 R15; 205/60 R15, 195/60 R15 are rare.

Tires with parameters 185×65 R15 are installed from the factory. The brand and model of tires installed by the manufacturer is Amtel Planet DC 185×65 R15 92H. Adhering to these parameters, you can purchase any tires that you are willing to spend money on. The more expensive the better)
In addition to the standard ones, you can also install 195/70 r15 - they will be a little wider and higher, the ground clearance will be greater
Amtel won't last long, I only had enough for 2.5 seasons in the summer. In winter there were winter tires.
19565R15 seems to have become a little taller, or maybe it seemed, I don’t know, I didn’t feel much of a difference, the width is also so-so.
Sooner or later you have to replace your car tires with new ones. Making the right choice is not easy; every tire manufacturer claims that their products are the best. Let's look at the rating of summer tires and try to determine, based on ratings, reviews and surveys, the best R15 tires in terms of price/quality ratio.
