Tire parameters

Winter tire for Lada Priora

When choosing tires, you must take into account the technical characteristics of the model and the manufacturer's recommendations. At the factory, all indicators have already been calculated and the parameters recommended by the factory are optimal. What tires for the Lada Priora do the manufacturer recommend? Tire width 175 - 185 mm, profile 60 - 65, and wheel diameter R14.

The manufacturer states that these parameters correspond to the technical characteristics of the car, and contribute to high handling, soften road irregularities and allow you to enjoy driving the car. The tire, in addition to its dimensions, must have a speed index of “H” (maximum speed – 210 km/h), and the load index must be at least “82”.

But owners often neglect the recommendations and install tires with a large radius. When choosing a tire size for a Priora, you need to take into account all the car’s parameters. This is necessary to select tires that will not negatively affect the handling and safety of the car.

Tire for a passenger car

What non-standard sizes can be supplied?

Experts recommend selecting wheel sizes for cars only after receiving the full amount of information. At the initial stage, their type and size are determined, as well as the operating mode of the vehicle. When choosing tires, you need to determine the ratio between height and width, which should not exceed 65 percent. With this ratio, it is possible to soften the process of overcoming various uneven areas. This ensures the safety of the driver and passengers and also reduces tire wear.

Most manufacturers install rims on the Lada that are not original due to the desire to emphasize their individuality. To avoid undesirable consequences when using such discs, you need to choose the right tires for them.

When installing tires on wheels, it is recommended to first determine the technical characteristics of the vehicle. If calculations are carried out incorrectly and tires that do not fit the rims are installed, certain difficulties may arise. For example, if the tires are not the right size, this can lead to increased friction between the wheel and the suspension and various damage to the rims.

If you install excessively wide tires on the Lada Priora, the contact with the road surface will increase, which will guarantee an increase in the directional stability of the vehicle. This tire is recommended for speed driving enthusiasts. Excessively wide and heavy tires are not recommended for this car, as this will negatively affect acceleration dynamics and increase fuel consumption.

Acceptable and optimal sizes

There are a number of tires and rims that are simply acceptable for installation, and which are ideal for installation:

  • What sizes are suitable without loss: R 14 - 175/65; 185/65; 185/60; 205/55; R15 - 175/60; 185/55; 195/50; 205/50; R16 - 175/50; 195/45 - on wheels with these sizes, all recommendations will be followed, and the Lada will not lose the quality of control and comfort.
  • Acceptable sizes suitable for Lada: from 175/60 ​​R14 to 205/32 R Which tires you can choose should be clarified in the official AvtoVAZ services.

There are owners who install wheels with a large diameter - as a result, friction between the wheel and the car body occurs, which has a bad effect on both the car and the durability of the tires. Therefore, if you want to install special tires and wheels, you need to consult with specialists and carry out calculations.

Have you decided to choose winter tires for your Lada Priora? For winter it is recommended to choose narrow tires. The fact is that with such tires the pressure on the road surface will be greater, and therefore the grip on the road will improve. Wide tires are more sensitive to ruts in winter. Low-profile tires perfectly transfer even the smallest pits to the fifth point.

The smaller the unsprung masses

(this includes a lot of tires and wheels), the better the car will hold the road and accelerate faster. For example, if you put wheels on a car that are 2 kg lighter each, then acceleration to 100 km/h will be reduced by 0.2 seconds.

In conclusion, we present statistics that were compiled based on a survey that took place among Lada Priora owners. Results of the survey “What size are the rims on your Lada Priora?” the following:

  1. 35% voted for R15 wheels.
  2. R14 wheels received 26% of the votes.
  3. For R16 wheels - 22%
  4. 12% of owners drive on low-profile R17 tires.
  5. Exclusive R18 wheels were installed on 4% of survey participants.
  6. The rarest R13 wheels are owned by 1% of owners.

Let us remind you that for safety and to increase the service life of your tires, you should maintain the recommended pressure in the Lada Priora tires. Read other articles on tuning Lada Priora, easy search by content.

Summer and winter

Each season means the installation of special tires that have the necessary properties for each season.

In summer, it is necessary to maintain the hardness of the rubber and resistance to high temperatures. Therefore, summer tires are radically different from winter tires on Priora.

There are varieties of summer tires - some are designed for wet asphalt conditions, or vice versa - they have protection against aquaplaning. What to install is up to the owner to decide.

Winter tires must be flexible and resistant to low temperatures. They should have deep slats for quick self-cleaning and perform well on winter surfaces.

On the Priora, it is best to choose studded tires - the most suitable for driving on snow and ice.

From steel rims to alloy rims

The Lada Priora leaves the factory assembly line equipped with 14-inch steel wheels. Standard wheels have their advantages and disadvantages. Everyone knows the latter: it has a dubious appearance and a large weight of the product. The appearance is often covered with decorative plastic caps, which have the main disadvantage of flying off the wheels and getting lost on the potholes of our roads.

But car enthusiasts have found their own method here: they attach the caps to the wheels with plastic self-tightening clamps to tie the car’s wires. Nothing can be done about the heavy weight of steel wheels, although it affects handling and fuel consumption. The advantages of metal products are:

  1. After a strong impact with a pothole or stone, the iron rim will receive a dent or deformation, which can be straightened out using special rolling equipment. Damaged exterior can be easily fixed with a can of spray paint or a new trim cap.
  2. The low cost will allow you to easily replace severely deformed factory wheels.

Pressure

Tire for a passenger car

One of the most important parameters when operating any tires is pressure. An incorrectly set parameter value can lead to the replacement of tires, wheels, suspension, and driving the car will be difficult and difficult. For the Lada Priora, the debate is still raging about which one is necessary.

On average, the pressure is set from 1.8 to 2.2 atmospheres and is the most optimal for cars of this brand. They set both more and less, but the factory stated the above parameters for the R14 (about 2).

What pressure should the tires be?

In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, Priora should have a tire pressure of 2.0 bar. It should be the same in the front and rear wheels. This requirement should apply to a 14-inch tire that has dimensions of 185/65/14.

A pressure of 2.0 bar is the best option for 14-inch tires. If there is a need to ensure soft and comfortable driving of the vehicle, then the pressure should be 1.8-1.9. Some owners inflate the wheels to 2.2. But this value is too high for 14-inch wheels installed on the Lada Priora. It is better for the car owner to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations, which will ensure a simple and comfortable driving experience.

Winter tires for Priora

The manufacturer installs tires on the Lada Priora in the following sizes:

Features of tires for driving in winter

Tires for driving in the winter season, due to weather and natural conditions, require certain differences from summer and all-season tires. They should more effectively remove water, snow, slush, ice and snow chips that are present on winter roads. In addition, winter tires should show better grip on the road surface, not slip on ice, icy roads and should not freeze. Therefore, winter tires have a number of design features.

How are they different from summer ones?

Unlike summer tires, winter tires have the following features:

  • A special rubber composition allows it to remain soft in severe frosts. This is especially true for friction tires that adhere to the road surface by adhesion. Silica is added to the composition of winter tires, the composition is constantly being improved so that the tires can withstand maximum sub-zero temperatures.
  • Rubber must be soft, elastic and durable, because in winter there is a high risk of damage from pieces of ice, hard snow, and icy roadsides. Strength is also achieved by improving the rubber composition, adding silicic acid to it, as well as increasing the strength of the side tread blocks. An important point is the controllability of the car on slippery roads. It is achieved thanks to the course longitudinal ribs of the tread.
  • To remove the abundant water on the roads and snow porridge in winter, winter tires have an increased level of siping and a greater depth of grooves. The deep tread pattern also helps tires self-clean from snow and slush.
  • For better grip on the road and especially on icy surfaces, many winter tires are equipped with metal studs, which provide good grip and braking, but are quite noisy.

Recommendations for selection

Choose the best shoes

Until now, universal tires have not been created that suit all existing driving styles. For this reason, most Priora car owners use tires that have different performance and technical characteristics.

If you are a fan of aggressive driving, then it is best to purchase high-speed tires for your vehicle. But you need to prepare in advance for the fact that it is very noisy. This is explained by the fact that such low-profile rubber has a high stiffness index, which allows it to read the entire road surface. In addition, when moving on mud or wet ground, you can encounter a lot of troubles. For vehicle owners who prefer quiet driving, there is no need to make such a purchase as high-speed tires, since driving on regular and soft tires is much more comfortable and reliable.

Experts recommend installing wheels on your car that are exactly the same size.

It is important that the properties and tread patterns match

Some car owners strive to buy two types of tires at once, which will be suitable for driving in winter and summer. And this is actually a justified action, because after some time all costs will be fully repaid, since the service life will be significantly increased, and control will become even more comfortable, confident and safe.

It is highly undesirable to purchase tires for wheels at a very low price. If the rubber is of high quality, then its price will be appropriate, because the best substances and advanced technological processes are used in the production of such products. Expensive tires produced by well-known brands will last much longer. In addition, they are noise-free, fuel costs are significantly reduced, and vehicle handling remains at the highest level.

Reading time: 5 minutes

You can choose suitable wheels for a Priora without any problems at all, since this model is produced by a domestic manufacturer. Accordingly, a huge number of products for this model of car are presented on store shelves. Factory original sizes, parameters and characteristics of wheel rims and tires range from 13 to 15 inches, and therefore there should be no problems with choosing products. The wheel manufacturer K&K has a special agreement with and creates a special line of products specifically for models from this plant. The wheel sizes presented are among the most common on the market.

The car is produced from the factory in body types: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. The factory installs both cast wheels and steel wheels produced by stamping. They differ in weight, appearance and size. The most common installation is stamped wheels, as they are cheaper, reliable and durable.


Lada Priora tire size 17 inches

Tire size for winter on Priora

The tire height to width ratio should be 60-65%. This ratio allows you to soften the passage of bumps on the road, significantly reduce the risk of tire puncture and helps ensure good handling of the Priora. The Lada Priora tire is marked with a speed index “H” (210 km/h) and a load index of at least 82 (475 kg).


Winter tires for Priora, which ones are better to choose?

14 or 15 diameter: which one is better?

The question of which winter tires for the Priora would be better to choose - R14 or R15 - is often relevant for owners of this model. On the one hand, the manufacturer recommends installing tires with clearly defined parameters - tire width 175-185 mm, profile height - 60-65 mm, wheel diameter - R14. But meanwhile, many Lada Priora owners put tires with a mounting diameter of R15 on the wheels of their car. Moreover, often when installing tires with a diameter larger than the recommended one, friction between the wheels and the body can occur, which in turn leads to rapid wear of the tires. In this case, you need to strictly follow the recommendations for the standard sizes allowed for installation on the Priora. Acceptable sizes are considered to be in the range from 175/60 ​​R14 to 205/32 R15. Large sizes can lead to friction and tire wear.

For the city, 14-diameter winter tires are quite suitable for the Priora.

In other words, the choice is individual and depends on the driver’s preferences and the roads on which he will drive.

When choosing winter tires for the Lada Priora, it is important to choose the appropriate size and select their characteristics to suit the requirements and roads on which the car will be driven. It should be remembered that the correct choice of winter tires is the key to successful car control on dangerous winter Russian roads.

Criterias of choice

In winter, road conditions can vary greatly among different drivers depending on the geography of travel, the work of public utilities, and the weather that year. Therefore, I will list the criteria that I used for this selection (and as you read, pay attention to which of them are more important to you personally):

  • braking distance on ice - will protect you from troubles on the (sometimes unexpected) slippery surface,
  • braking distance on wet asphalt,
  • traction on snow,
  • comfort.

More affordable options

In this group, in my opinion, there are optimal tires in terms of ratio and quality. They are not so much worse as they are cheaper than the leaders.

When I choose tires for myself or friends, I start with these options. And then I analyze what exactly I get by paying extra for other, more premium options.

Yokohama iceGuard iG65 is a durable tire with excellent performance on asphalt, the most affordable in the selection. Experts wrote:

These tires are some of the best on asphalt! Including acoustic comfort. In the city, the best thing is if your car has a stabilization system.

Nokian Nordman 8 - good performance on ice and snow, excellent cross-country ability. All-terrain tires with a white accent. The second most affordable prices in the selection.

A selection of “Velcro” winter tires of the Scandinavian type, suitable for severe frosts.

Continental VikingContact 7 is a test winner among studless tires. Excellent performance on asphalt and snow, quiet and comfortable. Expensive. The highest rating on Ya.Market among all models in this collection is 4.8.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 is a balanced, comfortable tire with a slight emphasis on suburban use. Expensive. Lifetime extended warranty, highly rated 4.7.

Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2 - for comparison, I used reviews and price for size 195/55 R15. High rating on Ya.Market - 4.7

Hankook Winter i*cept iZ2 - average performance on snow and ice, good on asphalt. Take a closer look at them if you have little snow and ice on your roads in winter.

Nokian Nordman RS2 - Velcro from the second Nokian line, better suited to snowy roads than to clean asphalt. Good maneuverability, save fuel, strong.

Price comparison

For comparison, I used the average price for a tire size 185/55R15 in Yandex.Market. The graph is based on October 2020 data.


Price comparison chart for winter tires for Priora and Granta

As can be seen from the graph, the Continental and the friction Nokian Hakkapeliitt are the most expensive. Most other tires are a third cheaper.

Yokohama and Nordman 7 studded tires will allow you to save a lot.

FAQ

What winter tires should I put on the Priora?

Decide on the three most important questions:

  1. tire size. To do this, look at what sizes the manufacturer recommends (the easiest way is on the sign in the driver's door opening), and what the diameter of your wheels is;
  2. budget. How much money are you willing to spend on tires?
  3. operating mode. What surfaces do you drive on most of the time: asphalt, snow or ice? How important are other types of coatings to you? Maybe you have asphalt with reagents, but there are icy patches along the way? Or do you only encounter loose and compacted snow?

You may find our articles useful:

When should you change your Priora or Grant to winter tires?

Winter tires work effectively at temperatures below +7°C. At the same time, when the temperature drops below seven degrees, summer tires work worse and worse.

Therefore, when the air temperature during your trips drops below seven degrees, it’s time to change your shoes.

Basic tire parameters

When installing tires on wheels, you need to take into account the technical features of the Priora. Incorrect calculations by the car owner can lead to undesirable consequences during its operation. For example, the use of large tires often leads to a situation where the tire rubs against the suspension elements and causes premature wear. A too small percentage of the height to the width of the profile can cause a rough ride with possible damage to the rims and increased load on the chassis.
