Tires for Lada Granta: how to choose, sizes and pressure

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.

More details here: https://klg.koleso.ru/

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.

Legend: + - improvement, - - deterioration, 0 - no change.

Changing your tire size will definitely lead to changes in your vehicle's handling accuracy. As the volume of the tire becomes larger, the scale of the space in contact with the road surface increases. This provides ample opportunities for maneuverability.

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.

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.

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:

1. the scale of contact with the road is expanding;
2. rapid and uneven tread wear;
3. decreased vehicle controllability;
4. 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.

Tuning Lada Granta: bringing the car closer to ideal

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.

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.

Summer tires for LadaGranta

High-quality summer tires should provide a high level of grip on both dry and wet asphalt, as well as a smooth ride. Tires must have a wide profile, and for this, tires with the dimensional characteristics R14 185/60 or R14 175/65 are best suited.

A short checklist - How to buy tires for the Lada Granta correctly

1. When looking for the right tires, keep 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 take into account the maximum speed index and the 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.

Test drive at normal pressure levels

Experts regularly conduct various tests and reviews that help car enthusiasts optimize certain technical characteristics of their vehicle.

Test drive a car

The purpose of the test drive is to establish the optimal pressure level, which will help achieve the golden mean between minimum fuel consumption and maximum vehicle stability during maneuvers and braking. In addition, it is necessary to find out how tire pressure affects other performance characteristics of the Lada Kalina.

For the test drive, standard car tires and a Vbox measuring system were used.

Before testing, it was decided to start with a base pressure level of 2 atm. First of all, it was necessary to warm up the tires after driving 10 km. After this, the Lada was accelerated to 80 km/h and the run-out distance was measured, which ultimately amounted to 1180 m. The maximum speed when reset was 66 km/h. After this, the length of the braking distance without wheel locking was determined. Dry braking distance was 45 m.

The results took into account stability on asphalt during maneuvers and smooth movement of the vehicle. These figures are average by the standards of the domestic auto industry. The normal level of pressure received a conditional 8 points.

Size of summer and winter tires for Lada Granta, which tires to choose

Granta is a relatively new front-wheel drive car, developed by VAZ on the basis of Kalina, and launched into production in 2011. Since that time, along with sedan-type models, the Lada Granta liftback began to be produced. The change of body did not affect the tire size, unlike the Sedan Sport modification.

Expert advice on replacing valves on Lada Granta

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the parameters of the tires used on these cars, and also present a small selection of models for winter and summer.

Basic tire sizes

In principle, to find out what size tires can be installed on a Lada Granta, just look at the passport or at the plate on the inside of the car door.

Nevertheless, we present to your attention a list of parameters that the manufacturer declares using the example of modifications for the 2022 release:

Tire pressure

We found out which tires are suitable for the Lada Granta - now we’ll figure out the pressure. A lot depends on it during the operation of tires, the purchase of which is one of the sources of expense for any car owner. The pressure must be constantly monitored to ensure that the tires do not wear out too quickly.

Premature wear occurs when there is insufficient pressure, but over-pumping is also fraught with consequences.

• If the pressure is regularly lowered by 0.5 Atm less than the norm for 14 radius of 1.9 Atm in the front, and 2.0 Atm in the rear, the tires will last 4 times less - plus fuel consumption increases.
• With an even greater lack of pressure, the car may lose control and the braking distance increases.
• If you drive for a long time on half-flat tires and then inflate them, the tire may simply explode.

Therefore, you need to have a pressure gauge on hand, take measurements from time to time (especially in winter), and if you need to pump up the wheels. The front and rear pair of tires should have the same pressure.

Specific indicators depend on the wheel size. Take, for example, the 195/50 profile, which is one of the replacement options for the LADA Sedan Sport. If this is a radius of 15, then the optimal pressure is 2.3 Atm, and at radius 16 you need to pump 2.4 Atm.

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.

Related link:

We change brake pads on a Lada Granta with our own hands. Advice from experts on choosing components

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.

Viatti Brina Nordico

A relatively new model, developed by the German Continental together with Italian engineers, and put into production at the facilities of the Nizhnekamsk tire plant.

An asymmetrical tread pattern, a combination of middle blocks with rows of studs along the edges and variable sidewall stiffness technology ensure safe movement and stability when cornering and when crossing uneven roads.

Toyo Observe Garit G3-Ice

Winter tires from the Japanese Toyo are deservedly considered one of the best. If previously only sellers and those who drove it knew about this, then a test carried out at the test site not so long ago left no doubt.

Observe Garit G3-Ice tires competed with the Finnish Hakkapeliitta-7, slightly inferior to it in snowy areas and taking the lead on the compacted track. Experts believe that the whole point is in the studs, which protrude beyond the surface of the tire by 1.2 mm more than normal.

Goodyear UltraGrip 600

Another new product. Atypical tread pattern - as is the case with all Goodyear models. Looking at it, you get the impression that a solid wheel is simply cut into grooves. They provide the tire with excellent handling in loose snow.

Another distinctive feature is the hexagon-shaped studs, which make it possible to quickly accelerate and brake safely.

Hankook W429 i Pike

Winter studded tires of different generations from the Korean manufacturer Hankook have long established themselves as an excellent combination of price and quality. The latest model has been slightly redesigned; the shape of some tread elements has slightly changed, although the symmetry of the pattern and directionality have been preserved.

Massive blocks on the sides replaced narrow ribs, and the tire began to work better in icy conditions.

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.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

• On what roads will the car be primarily used?
• Do you need increased cross-country ability?
• How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
• Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for Lada Granta Cross 2022?

• Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
• Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
• Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

Tires, wheels for Lada Granta

The selection of tires for the Lada Granta, as well as for other cars, cannot be decided unambiguously. When choosing one tire or another, it is necessary to take into account the year of manufacture of the car, the weather conditions of the area in which the car is operated, and the driving style of its owner.

But by paying attention to all of the above points, the car enthusiast is able to choose tires and wheels that will most optimally convey all the positive properties of his car. This will ensure a safe and comfortable ride in the vehicle in all weather conditions.

What tire and wheel sizes are recommended by KOLOBOX for Lada Granta?

The manufacturer pays attention to two suitable diameters for Lada Granta tires: 13 and 14 inches. The fourteenth diameter is considered more standard in relation to small cars, maintaining the budgetary operation of the car. Another positive side of this size: availability, ease of search on automobile websites and in stores.

What tires are suitable for the Lada Granta in the winter?

The choice of winter tires for this car should be made based on the conditions of the area in which it is operated. Russian roads are mainly areas where heavy snow and ice give way to mud puddles where snow mixes with sand and other chemicals. Therefore, many car owners prefer to purchase studded tires. But the choice, naturally, remains with each individual car enthusiast.

Recommendations from experts for replacing the generator on the Lada Grant

A winter set of tires must be soft in the contact patch with the road surface in order to have proper grip even in packed snow conditions. At the same time, a certain degree of rigidity is required from the base of the tread for precise vehicle control.

What tires are suitable for the Lada Granta in the summer?

The main requirement for a summer set of Lada Granta tires is high-quality grip and a high level of maneuverability on dry and wet asphalt. The markings recommended for summer tires take the form 185/60R14 or 175/65R14. Based on these formulas, the tire diameter is 14 inches, the width is 175-185 mm, and the width-to-height ratio of the tires varies from 60 to 65%. These data are advisory in nature, which allows for minor adjustments and deviations.

What wheels are recommended for the Lada Granta?

AvtoVAZ cars, which are equipped with front-wheel drive, have wheels with a diameter of 15 inches. This wheel size allows you to have a large space for choosing tires: tire width varies from 175 to 195 inches, and profile from 55 to 70%.

What pressure is recommended for Lada Granta tires?

The basic factory equipment of the Lada Granta car provides the following pressure values, subject to partial load:

• For R13, the pressure is 1.9 Atm for the front and rear wheels.
• For R14, the pressure is 2.0 Atm for the front and rear wheels.

What effect does tire and wheel size have on vehicle performance?

Consider the impact in the table below:

Car modifications

Largus how much pressure should be in tires

Lada Kalina was produced for 14 years. The manufacturer offered the consumer two generations of small class cars.

First generation

The debut car of the Kalina family appeared at AvtoVAZ in 2004. It was released as a sedan. The first generation cars were equipped with 1.4 liter (89 hp) and 1.6 liter (81 and 98 hp) petrol engines. In 2006, Kalina hatchbacks appeared, the next year - station wagons, and a year later - a sports modification. Depending on the configuration, the car was equipped with ABS, electronic power steering, airbags, and an air conditioning system. During production, changes were constantly made to the equipment of the vehicle. In 2009 and 2011, Lada Kalina became one of the best-selling brands in the country.

Second generation

In 2013, the plant's conveyor belt was modernized to begin production of the next generation of cars. LADA Kalina 2 was produced in hatchback and station wagon bodies. It is characterized by a more modern appearance, better aerodynamics and increased comfort. Improved powertrain, suspension and gearbox are distinctive features of the vehicle compared to previous generation models. Both hatchbacks and station wagons were equipped with 1.6 liter engines with variable intake, the power of which varied between 87...106 hp. A manual or automatic transmission was installed.

The maximum configuration included the installation of anti-lock systems, stability control, air conditioning and navigation, a traction control module, an after-braking system, a passenger airbag, a touch screen, heated front seats, a rain sensor, etc.

The latest modification of the Kalina family is the Lada Kalina Cross. It is distinguished by increased ground clearance, a modified final drive ratio and a more aesthetic appearance, for example, due to decorative trims on the wheel arches and sills.

In 2022, production of Kalina family cars was discontinued.

Recommended tire pressure for Lada Granta: sedan, liftback

Car : Lada Granta. Asks : Vasily Petrovich. The essence of the question : What pressure should be in the tires of a car, and what are the recommendations of the plant and the owners of the Lada Grant?

I purchased a Lada Granta in the “NORMA+” configuration. The former owner drove on 15-radius tires, but I, taking into account the quality of our roads, decided to change the wheels to R14 in order to increase the profile of the tire itself.

1. At the same time, the question arose: at what pressure is it optimal to ride on tires of different radii?
2. What tire pressure will be optimal for the Lada Grant?
3. There is also a popular idea that if you reduce the pressure, the car will become “softer”. Is this so and what does it mean?

What is tire pressure?

First, it’s worth understanding the very concept of tire pressure. After all, this indicator is relative, and it does not show how much air is in the tire, but indicates the ratio of the amount of air to the volume. Therefore, for tires of different radii, width and profile height, the tire pressure will be approximately the same.

Factory pressure settings

Yes, indeed, if you look at the Lada Grant’s operating book, different tire sizes correspond to different pressures.

Factory recommended tire pressure parameters

But the difference is not too significant. For wheels with size R13, the front and rear wheels should be kept inflated to 1.9 atmospheres, and R14 and R15 should be inflated to 2 atmospheres.

Lada Granta sedan

13 tires on the Norma configuration

14th tires for Granta liftback

Pressure and load on the vehicle

In this case, you should also take into account the load with which the car is operated most of the time. If the payload is around half of the maximum load capacity, then the tires should be inflated as described above.

But, if the car constantly drives under full load, then the pressure in the rear tires should be increased slightly. For 13 wheels at the rear you need to pump up to 2.1 atm. , and for the 14th and 15th radius, the pressure in the rear tires of the Lada Grant needs to be increased from 2.0 to 2.2 atmospheres.

If you drive on wheels whose pressure is slightly lower than required by the car manufacturer, it will indeed be a little more comfortable. But there are several factors to consider.

Factors to consider

Firstly, it is safety. It is not for nothing that the manufacturer prescribes a specific pressure value for tires.

When driving at low speeds, for example up to 60 km/h, this will not have much effect, but if you are a speed lover, then it is better not to experiment.

Tires with pressure even slightly less than the nominal pressure will worsen the vehicle's handling at high speeds and also increase its braking distance.

Less pressure - more flow

Secondly, lower tire pressure means greater rolling resistance, and therefore higher fuel consumption, as well as increased wear of the tread itself. Therefore, almost all tire manufacturers recommend that drivers regularly check the tire pressure of their car. This should be done at least once every three weeks.

Optimal tire size for Lada Granta

As for how to make driving on rough roads more comfortable with tires, it is best to choose those that have the highest profile. Due to this, the wheels will be able to absorb large irregularities.

In this case, the best option for the Lada Grant is tires with size 185/60R14.

What can cause incorrect tire pressure?

A reduced or increased amount of atmosphere in tires can lead to a number of problems not only with the wheels, but also with the car as a whole. If you have excess pressure, the following difficulties may arise:

• If you hit a pothole on the road, the disc may be damaged and the suspension may suffer;
• there is a problem of increased noise inside the machine;
• car controllability deteriorates;
• The tread on the tire wears off, which leads to premature wear.

Rubber suffers the most, as its service life is rapidly shortening. Insufficiently inflated tires also lead to a lot of problems:

• increased fuel consumption;
• increased tire heating;
• premature wear of rubber and abrasion of its side protectors;
• poor grip.

Effect of tire pressure Important!

It is necessary to measure your blood pressure at least once a week. It is also necessary to carry out the procedure before a long trip.

The most dangerous thing is different pressures in all four tires. A car with such pumping is very difficult to drive. The car constantly moves from side to side. This can be especially dangerous in winter on slippery roads. Therefore, the pressure must be monitored carefully so that no problems arise. For this purpose, there are not only tire shops, but also special instruments and systems that can help measure the amount of atmosphere in a tire.

How to measure tire pressure on a Lada Granta

Safe driving requires timely checking of car tires, since the pressure in the Lada Granta tires changes.
Their size must correspond to the recommended pressure values. Since checking this parameter is an important point, a special device is used for this - a pressure gauge. It is used to measure pressure levels. In this case, the results obtained should be compared with the recommended values. Related link:

How the heating system works on the Lada Grant. Stove heater diagram

It is important to use only high-precision pressure gauges with the smallest stated error. If the measurements reveal a pressure that is less than the recommended one, this can cause accelerated wear of the tires, deterioration in the handling and stability of the car, since the wheel alignment angles also change.

What tire pressure is recommended for Grant's car?

The tire pressure recommended by the manufacturer for the Lada Granta is indicated in the tables. It is measured in kg/m² in front and rear tires at partial and full load. The tables indicate the tire pressure of the Lada Granta sedan and liftback. The tire size depends on the configuration, which is divided into luxury, normal and standard.

It should be borne in mind that the air pressure in the tires of a Lada Granta, the equipment of which belongs to the standard category, is different from other similar indicators of the standard or luxury versions. The difference is expressed in one hundredth. The first configuration is equipped with smaller wheels.

The ideal option is to maintain the level of this indicator that was set by the manufacturer. Partial load means there are no more than 3 adults in the car, and there is no luggage or cargo in it. If the trunk has a load that weighs 50 kg, and there are 3 or more people in the car, then this assumes a full load.

Similar tables are provided by the manufacturer in the interiors of Lada Granta sedan and liftback cars. The location of the table is the central pillar on the driver's side.

When the car moves, the indicator also increases. You can correctly check the air pressure in the tires of a Lada Granta car only using a pressure gauge. In this case, the level of their temperature and the surrounding air should have the same value.

How to properly check tire pressure?

The appearance of the Lada Granta tires may be normal even with a reduced parameter level. It is impossible to judge this parameter by external signs. To verify its compliance with the recommended indicators, measurements should be taken.

The pressure in the tires of any car, including the Lada Granta, cannot be constant, regardless of whether the tires on the wheels are winter or summer. Under conditions of elevated temperature, the indicator increases. If it is lowered, then the pressure experienced by winter tires drops.

Tire pressure should be a constant value independent of weather conditions

If the temperature difference is from 10°C to 15°C, this parameter should be checked. In winter, it is almost invisible, since winter tires do not heat up due to frosty air and low road surface temperatures.

In summer, tires do not cool well due to warm air flow and heated road surfaces. These factors increase the indicator by 0.2-0.3 bar. To reduce it, you need to prepare a compressor or pump, as well as a pressure gauge. All actions must have a certain sequence.

Features of replacing hydraulic compensators on the Lada Granta 16 valves

Safe driving of any car will directly depend on the condition of the wheels. It is important to prevent your tires from wearing out quickly.

How to take measurements correctly to increase the life of the Lada Granta?

A certain configuration of Lada Granta cars has corresponding standards, which are characterized by their own level of the parameter under study.

If the tire pressure when driving a Lada Granta car does not meet the standards recommended by the manufacturer, then the wheels of this model will be subject to premature wear.

If tire parameters have noticeably changed, they should be checked for gas leaks.

If there is a noticeable drop in tire performance, you should check for air leaks. It is possible that this is the only reason, then the spool is tightened or simply replaced with a new one.

If it is determined that the spool is in good working order and the pressure has decreased, then the reason may lie in a tire failure.

Perhaps its special protective layer has become depressurized, then it is dismantled using a special device.

If the wheel balancing has been checked and remains normal, then beading should begin from the mark on the tire at the special place where the valve is located. After all work has been carried out, the tire must be mounted according to the mark.

For more even tire wear, the wheels should be rotated every 30 thousand km. For this purpose, the following actions are carried out:

1. Inspect the Lada Granta tires with rims to make sure that there are no cuts or delamination of the tire rubber.
2. Check the steel cord for areas susceptible to corrosion due to moisture penetration.
3. The wheel caps must be turned off to check the tire pressure.
4. If it is found that the indicator is higher than required, then press on the spool tip so that a certain part of the air is released from the tire.
5. Next, the indicator is measured again.
6. If the indicator constantly drops, using a cap and a key, the spool is wrapped as tightly as possible.
7. To check the spool for leaks, wet the valve hole.
8. If air bubbles appear, the spool on the wheel must be replaced.
9. Measuring the remaining tire tread depth using a caliper; replace it if the device depth is 1.6 mm or less.

If a caliper is not available, the depth can be checked visually based on tire wear patterns, which may appear as stripes running across the tread. The wheels are tightened if necessary.

When preparing the Lada Granta for use in winter, you should definitely replace the tires used in the summer with winter tires. Winter tires must be used if the car is not planned to be mothballed for the cold season.

Pressure level reduced: test results

The Lada Kalina was left for some time so that the air temperature in the tires dropped to the standard value. After this, the tire pressure was reduced to 1.5 atm. While warming up the tires, the test pilot noted that the car's movement had become softer and more comfortable.

Indicator caps and interpretation of their readings

This is a normal condition of the car, as the tires begin to deform and absorb when hitting small bumps and obstacles. At the same time, the overall stability of the car decreased significantly; the car began to react not only to sloped areas, but also to air flow. The first test was awarded 9 points, and the second - 7.

The total run-out was 1110 m, which means it decreased by exactly 70 m (5.9%). Fuel costs showed a slight increase of 2%. The maximum speed when rearranging also decreased slightly, which is explained by the general loss of stability of the car. Instant maneuver to the starting position was extremely difficult, since control over the car was almost completely lost. The result of this test was scored 6 points.

Compared to the normal level of tire pressure, the braking distance decreased by 1.5 m. This is due to increased grip on the road surface, since the flat tire became more adjacent to the asphalt surface. Thus, minor bumps in the road contribute to braking.

The test driver emphasized that braking was much easier because the pedal was more responsive and the wheels were less prone to locking. As a result, the car was able to maintain stability until it came to a complete stop.

Suitable wheel sizes and recommended tire pressure for Lada Granta

LADA Granta is a budget car made in Russia. The front-wheel drive sedan was appreciated by drivers.

Attractive appearance, quiet and dynamic ride, spacious trunk, comfortable interior, good sound insulation and technical characteristics - this is not a complete list of its advantages.

The manufacturer took into account the peculiarities of domestic roads and developed a car that performs well on them.

Like any other machine, this one requires careful attention. During operation, it is necessary to change not only consumables, but also monitor the condition of the wheels.

The air pressure inside allows them to perform their functions efficiently. It changes over time under the influence of certain factors.

An increase occurs after movement, a decrease in the cold season.

Measurements must be taken regularly. It is ideal to do this every day, but, as practice shows, not everyone succeeds. It will be enough to check the condition of the tires once a week. The indicator depends on the size of the wheels and the load on the car. Information about what pressure should be in the Lada Granta Sedan is given in the form of a table.

Tire pressure Lada Granta Liftback

• *Partial load – when there are no more than 3 adults in the car, there is no cargo in the trunk.
• Full load - when there are 3 or more people in the car, and there is a load weighing 50 kg in the trunk.
• *Tightening torque of wheel bolts 70-90 N*m

During winter, tire pressure decreases by 7 kPa (1 psi) for every 7 °C (12 °F) decrease in temperature.

The correct choice of tire fitting is the key to your own safety and the durability of your wheels. But how can you determine whether you are a professional or a self-taught amateur before entrusting your car to him?

We have to choose a place where the process of connecting the tire to the disk will take place, and for some visitors, the rearrangement of the wheel assembly will take place. We would like to recommend you Shinomatzhka Koleso.ru. They will answer a little about themselves:

Risks and areas of the process that are potentially dangerous for tires

The most dangerous area for tires is the face area where an excavator or loader operates. The loading equipment itself is the source of this danger, since when loading the rock mass, spills from the bucket and spills from the body into which the loading is carried out are allowed. After the loaded dump truck leaves the loading zone, another dump truck performs a maneuver to drive under the loading equipment - to the place of the spills that have formed. Therefore, driving backwards for loading is the most dangerous, causing damage to tires.

The driver, through his participation, can significantly increase the mileage of tires - first of all, due to careful treatment of tires.

Tire pressure monitoring is required every day

This is important not only in connection with the natural decrease in pressure, the periodic lack of tightness between the wheel rim, the O-ring and the tire, the operation of dump trucks using rims with cracks, and rims restored after cracks using surfacing and grinding

Sometimes it is necessary not to pump up, but to reduce the pressure when the ambient temperature rises

It is also extremely important to check the tire pressure immediately a few hours after replacing the tire or inflating it with a significant amount of gas.

This is due to the fact that the tire manufacturer’s recommendation for the pressure value is always given for the tire in a state when it is not running (“cold”), while the normal value, which the dump truck driver checks, is this value plus 10% (cold). - 7, hot 7.7). Moreover, a new tire or a tire that has not worked for 2-4 hours is considered to be in a cold state. Thus, if you inflated the tire in its intermediate state, for example, in a hot state, then the increase in pressure to the optimum will not occur at all, which will lead to additional load on the tire in the sidewall area, and as a result, to premature wear.
