Let's figure out what wheels can be installed on a VAZ 2114

On a car, as on almost any land transport, tires play an important role. In this article, the discussion will focus on the topic of tires for the VAZ 2114. And issues such as: the size of tires for the VAZ 2114, the correct choice of tires for the summer and winter seasons, as well as storage and operating conditions will be resolved.

Choosing the right tires is a serious matter that requires a considerable amount of time and directly depends on the driver and his ability to pay. Choosing tires is by no means a simple action, because you need to take into account almost everything - from the terrain for driving to a suitable design. Below we describe the types of tires and what size tires should be installed on a VAZ 2114.

All-season tires

As for tires used for all seasons, you should absolutely not take them for the VAZ 2114. The wear of such rubber is great, and good grip on the road is almost absent in both winter and summer. Of the many types of cheap rubber, there are companies that produce good tires, but you shouldn’t trust them either. It will be cheaper to change tires every season than to spend about 2,000 rubles on all-season tires, which after a couple of months are only good for a landfill. The cost of such tires is equal to their quality.

Cast

The second most popular are alloy wheels. They have a number of advantages over “stamped” ones. One of these advantages is the weight, which can be several times less than that of a stamp. Alloy wheels are made from aluminum and magnesium alloys.

Such substances are characterized by fairly low weight and good thermal conductivity, which ensures better heat dissipation from the car’s brake components. Also, these accessories can be of any shape, which gives a more elegant and presentable look to the VAZ-2114 on alloy wheels.

The disadvantages of alloy wheels include their cost and fragility. As a rule, the price is approximately 3000-4000 rubles for the option with a 14 radius. This is 1.5-2 times more expensive than a stamped disk. Fragility lies in the impossibility of difficult restoration of disks after they split.

Tire size for VAZ 2114

The decision of what size tires to choose for a VAZ 2114 depends directly only on the owner of the car. Looking at the younger generation, it seems that the lower the tire profile, the better the car behaves on the road. This is a complete misconception, which will lead to a sad outcome on the roads of Russia, because the consequences are damage to the discs.

VAZ 2114 tires are standardly available in sizes R13 or R14. Information about tires can be found in the vehicle documentation. Installing wheels and tires on a car is a decision of the owner himself, it all depends on his goal - a high-quality ride or a cool design. If you choose tires for a VAZ 2114, size R13 is the best in harmony with the car, both in beauty and in driving quality.

Other parameters of VAZ 2114:

Choosing winter tires

For winter driving, it is best to use R14 tires. Winter tires on the VAZ 2114 size R14 are most suitable for driving on Russian roads; the tires have a size of 175/65 millimeters, which is perfect for both snowy and icy roads.

The tires do not jump on bumps, pushing through to the permissible depth; when driving on snow, they do not allow you to “drown” due to their width! For winter, you should choose the tire size for a VAZ 2114, considering every moment, from the frequency of use to the desired service life.

How to correctly calculate wheel parameters?

For a VAZ 2114 car, when installing fourteenth-diameter wheel rims, the following tires are allowed: 175/65 R14 and 185/60 R14. It is worth noting that the second option is more preferable.

But there are different cases and options, so it’s worth understanding how to independently calculate whether the tires are suitable or not. This, for example, is important when installing 15-radius wheels.

So, in order to understand the mechanics of calculations, first let’s look at the rubber markings, or more precisely, what each number and symbol means.

For example, let's take a standard VAZ 2114 tire: 175/70 R13.

• 175 is the width of the tire. The unit of measurement is millimeters.
• 70 – the height of the tire profile relative to its width. The unit of measurement is percentage. In our case, the following value is obtained: 175 * 0.7 = 122.5 millimeters.
• R13 = indicates that this tire is designed for a thirteenth wheel diameter.

Now let’s calculate the total diameter of the wheel, which is the sum of the tire profile height in millimeters and the wheel rim diameter in millimeters. First, let's convert inches to millimeters: 13 * 25.4 = 330 millimeters.

Next, we calculate the total radius of the wheel: 330 + 122.5 * 2 = 575 millimeters. We received a standard value for the total wheel diameter. Now you just need to calculate the diameter for each wheel rim plus tire option and select the appropriate combination. A difference of no more than two millimeters is allowed, otherwise there will be either too much gap or the wheel will catch.

In conclusion, I would like to note that fifteen-radius wheels have a pair with a fairly low tire profile, but problems may arise with passing the annual technical inspection of the car, since such a large wheel radius is not directly recommended by the VAZ 2114 manufacturer.

But if you still decide to take such a step, then you should pay attention to car tires marked 195/50 R15 and 185/55 R15. It is worth noting that in the first case, if possible, it is better to double-check whether the wheel will fit before buying a set of tires. The problem in this case may not be the height of the wheel, but its width.

Tire device

Tires for both the VAZ 2114 and other types of cars consist of several elements:

1. The carcass is the main element of the tire, which contains several layers of cord covered with rubber.
2. Breaker is the inner part of the tire, which is located between the tread and the carcass. Its direct purpose is to soften the loads that occur when hitting stones or bumps.
3. The tread is the rubber part of the tire that is located on the outside and has a specific pattern.
4. Sidewall is a layer of rubber on the side of the tire that protects the carcass from damage.
5. Bead is a rigid element designed to secure the tire to the rim.

Tires in which the breaker is at an angle of 45 degrees are called radial. Such tires have the ability to withstand heavy loads and have a long service life.

What is the tire pressure

An important point is maintaining the pressure at the nominal value. Moreover, it differs depending on the time of year, load and wheel diameter. All of the above factors must be taken into account. The basic equipment is equipped with wheels with a diameter of 13 inches - the tire pressure should be exactly 1.9 bar. For wheels with a diameter of 14 inches, the normal pressure is 2 bar.

You can check the pressure using a pressure gauge - such a device is built inside the compressors. You can also find a hand-held, pocket pressure gauge for sale in the store. With its help, you can accurately measure the current pressure inside the wheel in just a couple of seconds. It is important to note that an over-inflated tire causes serious problems:

• The central part of the wheel wears out quickly - and the sidewalls often remain intact and unharmed;
• when heated to 60 degrees Celsius, the wheel can easily burst - which most often happens while driving.

A wheel explosion due to overload or too high a temperature can cause serious trouble. Especially if the driver's side front tire fails. In this case, the car may be thrown into oncoming traffic. As a result, there is a high probability of a fatal accident.

Low tire pressure causes:

• increase in fuel consumption - 3-15% of the standard value for every 100 km;
• slow speed increase;
• the side tread zones begin to wear down an order of magnitude faster.

Uneven wear leads to control problems and other difficulties - aquaplaning, poor braking. It is necessary to check the pressure inside the tires daily, before each trip.

Tire storage conditions

Tires, like other significant items, require a special way of storage and use. Car tires that have completed their season should be stored at the same temperature and with a certain number of atmospheres inside.

Before removing tires for storage, it is worth making a mark that will let you know where each tire was located. Next, you should wash each wheel to avoid disc rotting. You also need to remove stones from the tread, after which it is advisable to treat the tires with a special chemical used for preservation.

During processing, you cannot use rubber color restoration agents or solvents; they will only harm the preservation. This process should be treated carefully in order to avoid premature aging of the tire. The use of plastic bags is everyone’s business; the main thing is not to tie the bag tightly so that condensation does not accumulate.

Tires on rims should be stored hanging or on top of each other; tires without rims should be placed vertically. If treated properly, tires will last you a long time and save your budget.

Should I choose stamped or cast wheels?

All types of wheel rims have their advantages and disadvantages:

• Stamped. Due to ease of production they have minimal cost. In case of damage, dents are easily removed. They are heavy and require careful balancing;
• Cast. Manufactured by casting from aluminum alloys. Due to their low weight, they reduce the load on the hub assembly by reducing the unsprung mass. Easy to balance. They are almost impossible to straighten when deformed, and due to their low strength they are susceptible to chips and cracks, which can only be eliminated by argon welding.
• Forged. These are the same cast ones, only additionally strengthened by forging. With the same advantages as cast ones, they have much higher strength. Due to the complexity of manufacturing technologies, they have a high cost (R14/4×98 will cost at least 25,000 rubles).

If you plan to drive exclusively on smooth asphalt, then the best option is alloy wheels, which in appearance are practically no different from forged ones. When traveling over rough terrain, you should choose stamped wheels, since nicks can be removed on the road using an ordinary hammer. In addition, the VAZ 2114 on stamped R13 wheels looks quite stylish. Many car owners prefer swamp stamps.
