What winter tires to put on a VAZ 2114

Tires, wheels for Lada (VAZ) 2110 (LADA (VAZ) 2110)

LADA 2110 is a series of cars that were produced from 1995 to 2009 at the VAZ automobile plant. The most popular car of the family is the VAZ 2110. Experimental models were produced in 1995, and mass production started in 1996.

What sizes of tires and wheels for the Lada (VAZ) 2110 does KOLOBOX recommend?

In order to determine which tires and rims are suitable for this vehicle, it is necessary to determine the optimal sizes with which the car is produced, as well as alternative options.

The table below shows tire parameters (on the left) and wheel characteristics (on the right). At KOLOBOX, every Lada-2110 driver will be able to receive detailed advice and select summer and winter tires, cast or stamped wheels.

2110 is equipped with wheels with diameters of 13 and 14 inches. The width of tires varies from 175 to 185 mm, and the profile from 70 to 55%. Thus, the main sizes are: 175/70 R13, 175/65 R14, 185/60 R14. And alternatives: 185/65 R13, 195/50 R15 and 185/55 R15.

We select winter tires for the LADA (VAZ) 2110 car

Summer tires differ from winter tires in their special structure, which begins to harden when the temperature drops to a certain level. This leads to a significant deterioration in adhesion to the road surface, which in turn reduces safety and comfort while driving. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly apply for replacement sets of tires.

Several models of tires for winter:

We select summer tires for the Lada (VAZ) 2110 car

Many owners of Lada 2110 cars turn their attention to low-profile tires. Before you decide to install them on your car, it’s worth knowing their pros and cons. The positive aspects of low profile tires include:

• Increased maneuverability while driving.
• Increased controllability: the wheels react quickly and “sharply” to any steering movements.

Negative qualities include:

• Narrow rubber is not elastic; it does not absorb vibrations coming from the road, transferring them to the chassis. As a result, individual components of this unit fail much earlier.
• Reduced comfort due to increased noise.
• Imperfections in the road surface in the form of small stones or potholes can cause car tires to puncture. This happens much easier than with a high tire.

Several tire options for the summer:

Is it possible to install R14 or R15 wheels on a VAZ 2109

So, you can install R14 wheels on VAZ 2109, 2108, 21099, 2114, 2115. The disk parameters should be 5, 5.5 or 6 inches wide and have an offset of 35-40 mm. You can also install cast or forged wheels with the same parameters. Other parameters of the disks: holes 4x98 mm, central hole diameter at least 58.5 mm.

In this case, it will be necessary to select tires of the appropriate size so that the overall diameter of the wheel remains approximately the same. Otherwise, when turning the wheel, the tire will touch the wheel arch liners or suspension elements, which, of course, is not what we want.

What discs are best to buy?

Now let's consider the following question - which wheels are suitable for the VAZ 2114. The answer to it has already been partially given above - wheels with radii of 13, 14 and 15 inches can be installed on this model.

The possibility of using both 13 and 14 disks is directly stated in the VAZ 2114 passport.

As for the materials from which they can be made, the most common options are:

• stamped;
• cast;
• forged.

The first discs are the cheapest, made from steel sheet using the stamping method (as is clear from the name). Their advantages include low price, very long service life, high reliability (they do not burst upon a sharp impact, but can only become deformed), and maintainability.

True, despite all this, many car enthusiasts try to purchase wheels of other types. This is due to the very high weight of the stamped “rollers” - it has a very negative effect on tire wear, fuel consumption, the overall handling of the vehicle, and also produces excessive load on the chassis. In addition, stamped wheels often look unsightly and are practically unsuitable for tuning.

Stamped discs

The second option is discs made by casting.

They have the following advantages:

• small weight;
• have a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption;
• have a positive effect on the wear resistance of machine components;
• have a positive effect on less tire wear;
• better cooling of the braking system;
• They come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, making them an ideal option for upgrading your favorite car.

Alloy wheels

True, they also have two serious drawbacks - a rather high price and greater fragility when impacted (in the event of a strong collision with an obstacle, they can simply crack, which makes them less safe than other types of disks).

Forged wheels

The last option is forged wheels. They combine all the positive aspects of stamped and cast wheels, and have only one drawback - a very high price (which is significantly higher than that of cast wheels). True, if it is possible to install them on your car, then they will become the best option of all possible and will last for many years.

What to look for when choosing winter tires

Manufacturers today offer many models of winter tires. For every taste and income. The price, naturally, cannot but worry any owner of a car that needs new tires installed. But saving on this purchase is not recommended. First of all, you need to evaluate the performance characteristics of the rubber.

What is important for a car owner choosing a set of tires for driving on roads in winter:

• Tire size. In this case, you should follow the recommendations of the car manufacturer. However, you need to understand that wider wheels are less effective in lateral drifts, and narrow ones are worse for getting out of snowdrifts. Regarding height: it is recommended to consider slightly higher options compared to their summer counterparts.

• Load index. The higher this number, the stiffer the tire will be. But due to a more durable frame, it will be able to better withstand movement on roads with broken surfaces.
• Speed ​​index. It is necessary to estimate the usual speed of movement. If it does not exceed 100 km/h, there is no need to purchase tires with an index higher than K (up to 110 km/h).
• Date of manufacture. Since the warranty period established by the tire manufacturer usually does not exceed 5 years, it is recommended to pay attention to this aspect.
• Type of tread. Depending on the conditions in which the car is intended to be used, you need to choose the shape of the pattern. To overcome snowdrifts, it is better to consider a model with large-sized checkers. Small lamellas in the form of checkers are more versatile. The rounded sidewall increases the risk of skidding.
• Presence of thorns. As already noted, they help when moving along the ice crust.

All the information necessary for the consumer is usually indicated on the tire itself (see photo).

What drivers operating vehicles in winter need to remember:

• You cannot drive on both summer and all-season tires;
• It is not recommended to purchase used tires;
• You cannot limit yourself to installing winter tires only on the drive wheels.

It is also recommended to pay attention to tire pressure. How the iron horse will behave on the road depends on this. What pressure is in the tires of a VAZ car is not an idle question at all. Overinflated wheels have a smaller traction area but improve handling. If the wheels are not inflated, fuel consumption increases, handling deteriorates, but the area of ​​contact between the wheel and the road surface increases. To make the car more stable on a winter road, it is recommended to lower the wheels by 0.1...0.2 atmospheres (compared to the pressure in summer).

The table below will help answer the question of how to find out the pressure in Lada cars and other models of domestic manufacturers.

Accordingly, if we talk, for example, about the VAZ 2111: what pressure in tires with a radius of 14 is recommended to be chosen in winter, then it is recommended to stop at 1.8...1.9 atmospheres on the pressure gauge.

If you want to save money, you can do the following:

• purchase a winter set in the summer, when its cost is much lower;
• since new products are usually offered at a higher price, opt for old, time-tested models (but not those that have been in storage for several years);
• if in winter you plan to drive on asphalt cleared of snow, purchase tires with a finer pattern;
• when deciding, for example, which winter tires for a VAZ 2112 are better, you can choose from a line of products from domestic manufacturers, many of whose models have good performance characteristics.

How are winter tires different from summer tires?

It's no secret that even today there are vehicle owners who do not change tires for the winter. For a number of reasons: due to lack of money, time or laziness. Various excuses are being made:

• mild climate;
• rare trips in winter;
• The car has all-season tires, that's enough.

Some people cannot correctly calculate the time to change tires, postponing this operation until the last minute. All this dramatically increases the accident rate on our roads.

Why is it important to take seriously driving a car in the cold season and timely installation of winter tires?

When producing tires for each season, special rubber compounds are used, so that the tires receive the performance characteristics that are necessary for their use in certain temperature ranges. This is explained by the fact that the properties of rubber, especially its elasticity, are directly related to the ambient temperature.

Summer tires are made from a material whose properties change at temperatures of about 4...7 degrees above zero. With negative values ​​on the thermometer, the efficiency of tires sharply decreases due to deterioration in ductility and adhesion to the road surface. On stiff wheels, acceleration and braking are fraught with dire consequences. It should be noted that summer tires are much harder than winter tires.

The main difference between winter tires and their summer counterparts is not at all in the depth and type of tread (although it is rougher and deeper), but in the properties of the rubber itself, which is elastic in the cold and provides good grip.

Studded tires, which improve traction in certain situations, make sense if you often have to drive on country roads in winter. On the ice they behave much more confidently.

Important! Winter tires wear out much faster when used in summer.

On all-season tires you can drive at temperatures not lower than -7 degrees. And, if you compare their characteristics with the properties of winter tires, they definitely lose: the braking distance is longer, and the handling is worse.

As one might understand, there are no universal tires that can be used to travel at negative and positive temperatures. Therefore, if a car owner is responsible for his life, the safety of loved ones and other road users, it is necessary in time (before the onset of the first frost) to consider the issue of changing tires.

Important! Tires are replaced if their tread depth becomes less than 4 mm.

Features of tires VAZ 2110-2112, VAZ 2114-2115

But for the VAZ 2110-2112 family, tires of sizes 175/70 R13, 175/65 R14 and 185/60 R14 are considered standard, it all depends on the configuration of the car. At the same time, the best winter tires for a VAZ 2110 will be with the first two sizes, the latter has a low profile; it is better to purchase summer tires with this size. But in general, what size winter tires to install on a VAZ 2112 is up to the car owner to decide.

The VAZ 2114-2115 models also use the same tires as the VAZ 2110 family. Therefore, which winter tires are better for the VAZ 2115 is a matter of preference.

As you can see, there are no clear recommendations on which winter tires are better for the VAZ 2114 and which ones for the VAZ 2106. Many factors are taken into account here, such as financial capabilities, preference for certain tire features, even winter conditions influence the choice.

The only important condition is that you should definitely change the tires, but it’s up to you to decide which winter tires to buy for the Classic or the newer VAZ family.

When choosing tires for the summer, take into account the climatic conditions and characteristics of your place of residence. For example, if you live in a rainy climate with poor road surfaces, you might want to consider tires with tread and a good drainage system that quickly pushes out water, preventing the effect of hydroplaning. The latter is the worst thing that can happen to you on a wet track, the car glides along the track like a ship, while the driver completely loses control over the steering.

The tread pattern plays an important role; it determines how the tires will grip the road. If you live in places where the tracks are mostly wet, it is recommended to choose tires with an asymmetrical deep pattern. Often this type of tire contains the corresponding inscription “Rain”, which translated into “human” means “rain”; you can also often find the word “Aqua”, which is practically the same thing and is translated as “water”.

Wheel sizes for the car

Produced since 2001, the car replaced the legendary VAZ classic.
It immediately gained great popularity in the vastness of not only Russia, but also many neighboring countries. It has already been discontinued since 2013 and was replaced by more modern models Lada Vesta, Largus and Granta. Today, on the shelves of auto stores there is a very wide range of rims and tires for vehicles. There are a huge number of different components available for tuning. This applies to both any exterior parts and wheels, which are produced in many ways and also have various characteristics, sizes and parameters.

Owners of this domestic car are constantly faced with the need to replace tires before the onset of a certain time of year. In this case, you have to choose from many options for the products presented. These can be products from well-known and expensive brands, as well as cheaper models. The price category also varies dramatically and depends on the quality, size and popularity of the brand.

Important!

The choice of tire size for the VAZ-2114 depends only on the preferences of the car owner.

It must be taken into account that even tires from very expensive manufacturers can be absolutely useless if they are used incorrectly. It is very important to select tires and wheels only with the correct sizes and constantly monitor their normal condition.

It is also worth noting that the safety of the driver and passengers, as well as pedestrians, depends on the quality choice of tires. In difficult weather conditions on slippery road surfaces, tires must behave predictably and correctly. In addition, they have a huge impact on the level of wear of chassis parts, handling, dynamic qualities, and brakes. It is also not recommended to greatly exceed the tire size for the VAZ-2114, which is recommended by the manufacturer, because this will affect comfort and increase fuel consumption.

How to choose summer tires

To correctly select seasonal tires, a motorist must know the answers to questions.

1. Speed ​​index of tires. Each ramp is made taking into account speed loads. The motorist should find out what maximum speed he will drive at, which will significantly narrow the search sector.
2. Weight load. Each car has a unique weight. Therefore, you need to buy slopes for it. If the safety margin is not enough, the tire may burst or fly off the rim, which will lead to negative consequences.
3. Intended terrain for use of the vehicle - asphalt semi-slick tires should not be expected to have normal grip on wet ground. Such tires will slip on primers and wear out quickly. Likewise, “toothy” tires will not work well on asphalt - the tread will quickly wear off, while at the same time producing strong noise and vibration.
4. Price. You shouldn't expect high performance from cheap tires. Budget models are suitable for infrequent trips at moderate speeds, which is justified by their ease of implementation.
5. Manufacturer. Due to the high responsibility of the part, automakers do not recommend buying tires from dubious brands. You should also first verify the authenticity of the products - counterfeits of famous corporations available on the market may not completely meet the requirements.
6. Composition rigidity. Soft slopes will hold the road perfectly, but will wear out quickly. Hard versions, on the contrary, take a long time to ride, but have little grip on the road surface.

Taking into account all the parameters, you can proceed directly to choosing tires.

What is the tire pressure

Tire size for Moskvich 412

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.
