Top 4. Belshina Artmotion

116 reviews from resources were taken into account: Yandex.Market, Mosavtoshina

The most reliable tires Belshina Artmotion tires are resistant to hernias due to their cord design and rubber compound composition. Rubber easily withstands impacts from potholes, curbs and other road obstacles.

• Characteristics

  Price: 2670 rub.

• Country: Belarus
• Load: 475-750 kg
• Speed: 190-210 km/h
• Tread pattern: asymmetrical

Budget Belshina Artmotion tires are popular among owners of passenger cars, including the Lada Vesta sedan. Advantages include long service life and resistance to hernias. According to user reviews, the average mileage of these tires before replacement is 35-40 thousand km. The rubber is very soft and comfortable, but not for high-speed driving. Thanks to large longitudinal grooves on the tire tread, the model demonstrates better resistance to aquaplaning. It behaves predictably on wet roads. At speeds above 90 km/h it starts to make noise.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Smooth ride
• Wear resistance
• High speed handling

• Noisy at speed

Advantages and disadvantages

For 15 disks, the advantages are:

1. Price (the set is 9,000 rubles cheaper).
2. The car drives smoother.
3. The wheels are practical, easier to find in a store.
4. It's harder to get a side cut.
5. Less chance of denting discs.

With 16 wheels, the Lada Vesta looks more beautiful and handles better. As a result, I settled on size 15 - 195/65 R15. In this size, the outer diameter, compared to stock wheels, is 13 mm larger. The wheel arch is filled out more, but the wheel appears visually smaller. The ground clearance rises by 6.5 mm.

This option is also suitable for the Cross package. The difference in outer diameter with standard tires is only 2 mm.

I was worried that the front wheels would hit when turning. Therefore, I bought wheels with an offset of not 50, but 45 mm. This does not affect anything, and for the Cross the offset is generally 43 mm.

Drivers note confident handling and a good braking distance. A car with these tires demonstrates excellent cross-country ability in loose snow and slush. For better resistance to temperature fluctuations, the manufacturer increased the silicon content in the mixture. The tire does not tan in frosts down to -40˚C.

Is the car out of warranty?

If you do not put something completely unusual on the car, then there will be no problems with the dealer. They sell and install wheels themselves, which do not always correspond to the dimensions of AvtoVAZ. If you were denied a warranty due to the size of the wheels, be sure to write and we will discuss the issue. So far I am not aware of such cases.

As a result, I ordered Michelin X Ice North 4 size 195/65 R15, they are a little more expensive than 185. I paid 4040 rubles for them. I bought the wheels from SCAD Samurai with an offset of 45 mm - 3590 rubles. Plus 600 rubles – tire fitting. Slightly exceeded my budget, spent a total of 31,120 rubles. The discs were packed in boxes, nothing was damaged.

Top 2. Hankook Winter i*Pike RS

Rating (2021): 4.49

472 reviews from resources taken into account: Yandex.Market, Mosavtoshina

• Characteristics

  Price: 4610 rub.

• Country: South Korea
• Load: 365-900 kg
• Speed: 190 km/h
• Tread pattern: symmetrical

With a careful driving style, the Winter i*Pike RS behaves very well on the winter road. The studded model passes well through areas with ice, and walks on rolled snow and icy slush. But if you increase the speed a little, slipping immediately occurs. If you often have to drive the Vesta Cross on bare asphalt, the noise level and the length of the braking distance will pleasantly surprise you. To lose the spikes in the first two seasons, you will have to try - the steel pins are surprisingly tenacious. The owners note that Winter Eye Pike, at zero temperatures, suffers from rolling when changing lanes.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Stays confident on the ice
• Low noise
• Excellent grip on bare asphalt
• Sturdy cleat fit

• Rollability at zero temperature
