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.
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.

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.
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.
Optimal sizes
The best and most suitable tire size is determined by the manufacturer. If the factory standard is observed, optimal fuel consumption is maintained and the speedometer works correctly.
Depending on the configuration, cars are supplied to the market equipped with tires of the following types:
- 175/70R13;
- 185/55R14;
- 195/55R15;
- 195/50R16.
Experts and experienced drivers advise sticking to the recommended sizes when choosing analogue tires. You can move away from the width and height of the slope by one division, which will not violate the factory settings.
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.

Replacing disks on Grant
Before you start replacing wheels on your Lada Grant, you should prepare the following set of tools:
- jack;
- wheel wrench;
- screwdriver;
- pressure gauge and compressor or pump (may be needed if the tire pressure is insufficient).
Disk replacement is required in various situations. The wheel may be worn out, it may collide with an obstacle and, as a result, damage or deformation may occur. Wheels are also changed when tires are punctured. If the tire is tubeless, you can pump it up and continue driving to the nearest tire shop.
A deformed disc affects the car's handling for the worse - it holds the road worse, and you can feel the steering wheel wobbling. Alloy wheels can break, causing the car to fly off the road or cause an accident. Tubeless tires on warped rims are leaky and bleed air through uneven rim flanges. Driving for a long time with such problems is undesirable, so the wheels must be removed and replaced. Before starting work, it is better to wear protective gloves:
- The car must be installed on a level area and not interfere with other road users by its location if the replacement is carried out on the road. The procedure is dangerous to carry out on sharp turns, on ring roads, on descents or ascents. It is necessary to turn on the hazard warning lights and display a warning triangle, as required by traffic regulations.
- Now you should take out the spare wheel if you are replacing a punctured or damaged element. On the Grant, the spare tire is located under the carpet in the luggage compartment. You need to lift the mat by the loop and remove the spare wheel mounting bolt; this usually does not require additional tools. After unscrewing the bolt, you can take out the spare tire and lower the trunk mat.
- If a stamped disc with a decorative cap is installed, you will need to remove the cap first. If a decorative trim is installed, you will need to unscrew the fastening screw with a screwdriver and remove it. There may not be a cover or a cap, besides, there are different fastenings, the most common are plastic latches, you just need to pry them off with a screwdriver and remove the cover by moving it towards yourself.
- Using a wheelbrace, loosen, but do not unscrew, the 4 mounting bolts. It may take considerable force to break them off.
- After this, the jack is installed in special places under the thresholds. If the jack is standard, it should fit into the rib with its groove; if an alternative tool is used, it is recommended to place a board or mitten under it so as not to damage the anti-corrosion coating. When replacing on soft ground, be sure to place a board under the jack, otherwise it may fall off.
- Now you can unscrew all four bolts and remove the wheel.
The new wheel is installed in the reverse order of removal. In this case, it is necessary that the guide pins coincide with the grooves on the disk if it is stamped. The bolts are tightened “by hand” so that the wheel is firmly held in place. Now you can lower the jack and tighten all the bolts crosswise. To prevent damage to the discs, it is not recommended to use metal pipes for reinforcement or tighten bolts by pressing the wrench with your foot.
It is important to tighten the bolts exactly crosswise - this way the disc snaps into place exactly in the center. If you tighten the left and then the right bolts first, the wheel may move slightly, which will lead to poor handling and wobbling of the steering wheel.
After installing the wheel, it is recommended to check the tire pressure using a pressure gauge and, if necessary, inflate them. All industrial compressors have a built-in pressure gauge, so the task is simplified.
Correctly checking tire pressure. Recommendations
Constant monitoring of tire pressure levels ensures safe travel and prevents tire wear. If the pressure is at a low level (below 1.9 atmospheres), then the side parts of the tread, due to the uneven distribution of air when driving, will wear out much more. When tires are overinflated (above a value of 2.0), the middle part of the tread will suffer, which is also fraught with consequences.
List of negative consequences from uneven distribution of tire pressure:
- the scale of contact with the road is expanding;
- rapid and uneven tread wear;
- decreased vehicle controllability;
- potential danger of creating an emergency situation on the road.
To correctly measure tire pressure, you will need a pressure gauge. Measurements should be taken some time after the trip, so that the air in the tires has time to cool down after intense heating during driving. The optimal value (for R13 – 1.9, for R14 – 2.0) is indicated as a number that can be found on the gas tank or car door. It is important that when using the pressure gauge, air does not escape from the wheel.
The resulting value must be compared with the optimal one and pumped up to the desired value. For wheels that are parallel and on the same axis, the pressure level should be identical.

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.

Checking and adjusting headlights on Lada Granta. Advice from the experts
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.
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.
Conclusion
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.
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.

- GoodYear Ultra Grip tires are made in Germany. They are distinguished by high maneuverability on snow-covered roads and uncertainty of movement on asphalt surfaces. Cost – from 3500 rub.
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.
Lada Granta wheels: standard dimensions, diameter, bolt pattern, width, offset, center
The domestically produced car Lada Granta is very popular among many car enthusiasts in our country.
In accordance with this circumstance, the demand for all components and spare parts for this AvtoVAZ model is also increased, including rims, the replacement of which is associated both with the wear and tear of old options and with the desire to change the appearance of the car.
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"
What wheels were installed on different bodies and configurations?
In four different configurations of Lada Granta, the diameter of the wheels used ranges from 13 to 16 inches:
- Standard - 5Jx13ET35, 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET
- Standard - 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET
- Lux – 5Jx15ET35, 6Jx15ET
- Sport - 5Jx15ET35; in the sports package they also began installing wheels with a 16 radius and low-profile tires in size 195/50R
The first digital designation of these markings indicates the width of the rim in inches, the following indicators from 13 to 16 are the diameter of the disk, ET35 is the offset in mm.
The standard bolt pattern parameters are the same as those of old VAZ models - 4x98, that is, 4 holes, the centers of which are located along a circle with a diameter of 98 mm.
The diameter of the central hole according to the hub used is 58.6 mm. The most popular rim size among Lada Granta owners is considered to be R14, but many people prefer to drive on 15 rims.
Standard disk sizes
When talking about wheel sizes, it is not enough to just mention their diameter. The remaining parameters are important for understanding whether they are comparable to the hub of a Lada Granta car, as well as what type of tire they are intended for.
For example, rim width is the size of the tire seat. The mounting hole pattern gives an idea of whether additional spacer adapters will have to be used. As noted above, this car uses a 4x98 wheel installation scheme with a center of 58.6 mm.
Disc offset is a fairly important indicator, especially when using wide wheels. It reflects in mm the distance from the hub mounting pad to the plane that visually divides the rim into two rings of equal width. Disc diameters are measured in inches.
As standard, the Lada Granta is equipped with sizes R13, R14, R15. It is rare to find a model with 16 discs.
The table shows the recommended tire sizes and the corresponding wheels.
TiresWheels

| 195/50R16 | 6.5Jx16ET29 |
The numbers indicated through a fraction in the tire size mean: tire width / profile height as a percentage of the width. The Latin letter “R” indicates the type of tire - radial. The last numbers correspond to the diameter of the disk.
Parameters of standard nuts
One of the main parameters of nuts or bolts is the shape of their pressing surface, which can have several varieties. When selecting the necessary nuts, you should proceed from the shape of the recess in the mounting hole of the disk.
Most often it is necessary to use bolts or nuts with a cone-shaped clamping part. As a rule, the cone has an angle of 60°. Sometimes such bolts may have a 1.3 mm head and a nose at the end of the nut.
The clamping surface of the fastener can also be flat or hemispherical. It is important that the clamping planes of the fastener and the disk fully correspond to each other. Otherwise, over time, as a result of strong dynamic loads, the attachment point will weaken. When choosing nuts with closed heads, you should pay attention to their length.
If the pin prematurely rests on its inner part, then it will not be possible to fully tighten it. Also, nuts that are too short may not leave room for the socket head of the impact wrench. Some wheel models only allow the use of hex or star nuts.
When choosing bolts, you need to consider their length. A reliable connection can only be achieved if the bolt is screwed in to the entire threaded thickness of the hub. However, if it is too long, then when the car moves, such fasteners will begin to cling to internal structures.
Ideally, the tip of the bolt should only protrude a couple of threads when fully tightened. Bolts are made only from steel, but nuts can be steel, aluminum or titanium.
What drives can be installed
It is clear that any car manufacturer, just like AvtoVAZ, always recommends installing only its original sets of spare parts. But replacing a wheel rim with non-standard samples has long been considered completely commonplace.
