What pressure should be in the tires of a Lada Kalina
There is debate among car enthusiasts about what pressure should be on a Lada Kalina, Grant or any other model of this Russian manufacturer. Some look at the passport and inflate the tires in accordance with standard values, others try several options for tire pressure.
We can definitely say that the pressure in the Grant, Kalina or Priora tires affects the chassis, affects fuel consumption, and also promotes or prevents rapid tire wear.
Standard tire pressure values
There are 3 options for the state of tire pressure in the Lada:
- understated. There is an increase in the contact of the surface of the Grant, Priora or Kalina wheel with the road surface, which accelerates the wear of the product. Fuel is consumed faster and braking distance increases;
- overpriced. The wheels of the car are in less contact with the road surface, which increases the likelihood of a quick repair of the chassis. The rate of wheel wear also increases. At the same time, the car's handling deteriorates at high speeds or sharp turns. Passengers and the driver feel that traveling in the car is becoming less comfortable - the car bounces even on small bumps;
- normal. By such pressure we mean an indicator that is in the range of 5-15% of what is indicated on the car or in the passport. In this case, the tires wear evenly. Staying inside the car while driving on uneven road surfaces or off-road is comfortable.
To ensure comfortable and safe driving of the Kalina in winter and summer, it is necessary to measure the degree of tire inflation with a mechanical or electronic pressure gauge.
You can find the recommended tire inflation value on a Lada on the body on the driver's door or on the glove compartment door.
Allowable air pressure in tires of Lada Priora cars
You will also see the optimal inflation mode in the table provided by each tire manufacturer. The values in it are adjusted depending on:
- number of passengers, luggage;
- car model (indicators for Grants, Priora and other Lada models differ depending on their weight).
Remember that the same pressure must be maintained in both winter and summer.
Recommended tire pressure for Lada Granta cars
However, there is a nuance: if the Lada Kalina is parked for a long time in a warm garage or service station, prepare for a slight decrease in tire inflation after driving out into the cold.
Thus, you will have to inflate your car tires more often during the cold season.
The standard value of pressure in the front and rear wheels for the Lada Kalina should be as follows:
- for the VAZ-1117 model - 1.9 atm on the front and rear wheels when partially loaded, as well as 1.9/2.1 on the front and rear wheels when fully loaded;
- for the VAZ-1118 model - 1.9 or 2 atm at partial load, as well as from 1.9 to 2.2 atm at full load on the front and rear wheels, respectively;
- for the VAZ-1119 model - 2 atm at partial and 2/2.2 atm at full load on the front and rear wheels, respectively.
Allowable air pressure in Lada-Kalina tires
Experts call partial loading of a Priora, Granta or another Lada model the presence of up to 3 people in the car, provided the trunk is unloaded. Full load - the maximum possible number of passengers in the car and cargo in the trunk (with a weight of less than 50 kg).
If you want to know the tire inflation levels, wait until they cool down (after a long ride or exposure to the sun). This will make the pressure gauge results more accurate.

Check the air pressure in your tires every 500 km of your vehicle's mileage.
The air pressure in a car tire is not constant. When the ambient temperature rises, the tire pressure increases, and when the ambient temperature decreases, it drops. With small fluctuations in ambient temperature, the tire pressure changes slightly. If the temperature difference reaches 10-15 °C, you should check and adjust the tire pressure to normal.
Tire pressure also increases when the vehicle is driven at high speeds and frequent maneuvers. In winter it is almost unnoticeable. Cold air and low road surface temperatures prevent the tire from heating up. In summer, the incoming flow of warm air does not cool the tire well and its temperature begins to rise. Additional heating of the tire occurs from the road surface heated by the sun's rays. All this can increase the tire pressure by 0.2-0.3 bar (20-30 kPa).
The tire pressure should be 2.0 bar (0.25 MPa).
Warning!
The tire pressure is measured only when its temperature is equal to the ambient temperature.
To complete the work you will need:
Pressure gauge;
Compressor or tire pump.
Execution Sequence
:
1. We prepare the car for work.
2. Unscrew the protective cap of the nipple.
3. Press the pressure gauge tightly to the end of the nipple and hold it in this position for 1 - 2 seconds, after which we disconnect the pressure gauge from the nipple.
4. Return the pressure gauge needle to zero and repeat the test.
5. If the tire pressure is below normal, inflate it using a pump or compressor.
Comment
When pumping, monitor the pressure according to the pump or compressor pressure gauge.
Warning!
When inflating, the pressure gauge shows the pressure not in the tire, but in the air supply hose. To determine the true tire pressure, you must interrupt the inflation process.
6. If the pressure in the wheel tire is higher than normal, bleed the air by recessing the nipple axis with a special spike on the pressure gauge body or with a screwdriver blade. Let the air out of the tire in small portions and check the pressure in between.
7. Screw the protective cap onto the nipple.
8. Similarly, we check the pressure in the remaining wheels of the car.
To check the wheels of a Lada Priora VAZ 2170 car you will need: a pressure gauge, a pump, a caliper.
RECOMMENDATIONS Check the air pressure in your tires periodically.
Increased or decreased pressure leads to premature tire wear, deterioration of controllability and stability of the Lada Priora car. We recommend using a foot pump with a built-in pressure gauge. To ensure that the tires wear evenly, every 15,000 km (at the next maintenance) rearrange the wheels in accordance with the diagram in Fig. 4.1. After the first 15,000 km and then every 30,000 km, balance the wheels and check the wheel alignment. To do this, contact a specialized tire workshop. Rice.
4.1. Wheel rotation diagram WARNINGS Carry out all wheel repair work in specialized tire workshops. Check that all wheels are balanced after repair. Operating tires with worn tread can lead to an accident.
1. Unscrew the valve cap from the wheel.
2. Check the tire pressure. To do this, reset the pressure gauge to zero by pressing the special button on the pressure gauge body... 3. ...connect the pressure gauge to the valve and press it with the tip of the pressure gauge.
Lada Priora is the most popular family of domestic cars today. The model is available in hatchback, sedan and station wagon body styles and belongs to the C class.
The main competitors are budget 4-doors: Renault Logan, ZAZ Chance, Lada Granta and Daewoo Nexia. Lada Priora boasts excellent noise and sound insulation, high-quality finishing and adaptation to Russian conditions. In comparison with “classmates”, it is more repairable, and spare parts for it are cheaper. The domestic product also has disadvantages. The operation of the model’s engine is not always stable; it is sometimes difficult to start it due to problems with the timing, air leaks and sensors. Also, car components are not of high quality.
Despite this, Lada Priora remains one of the most popular cars on the Russian market. In the Caucasus regions, it confidently holds the lead in sales volume. The car is also among the top 5 most stolen models in the country.
Lada Priora is an updated version of the popular VAZ 2110 model, production of which ended in 2007. Over 1,000 changes were made to the design of the “tens,” beloved by many Russians. As a result, a new family of cars appeared, consisting of 3 representatives:
- "VAZ-2170" - a sedan, the production of which began in March 2007;
- “VAZ-2172” is a hatchback that appeared in February 2008;
- "VAZ-2171" is a station wagon, sales of which began in May 2009.
After the modernization of the VAZ-2110, a fundamentally new car appeared that retained the same features. In the first version of the Lada Priora, similarities with the “ten” were clearly visible, but the bow and stern of the car became different. The headlights have increased in size and the radiator grille has become larger. The taillights were also modified, but overall the changes in appearance could not be called global.
If the exterior of the model was developed by specialists from the Volzhsky plant, then the interior was created by designers of the Italian company Carcerano. As a result, he was strikingly different from what he was in the top ten. The front panel looked more like a “torpedo” of a foreign car. It was trimmed with soft plastic, adding a curved visor above the instrument cluster. The interior was complemented by an oval-shaped clock installed in a silver trim at the top of the console.
The basic equipment of Lada Priora has become noticeably richer. It offered electric front windows, central locking with remote control, athermal windows, an airbag, electric power steering, an electronic clock and an adjustable steering column.
The car was available in three trim levels: “Standard”, “Norma” and “Lux”. They differed exclusively in the level of equipment. The model was equipped with 2 types of gasoline units:
- 1.6-liter 8-valve VAZ-21116 engine (90 hp);
- 1.6-liter 16-valve VAZ-21126 engine (98 hp).
Wheel size
The small selection of versions of the Lada Priora model also limited the types of wheels available for use:
- wheels 5.5J on 14 ET37 (5.5 – width in inches, 14 – diameter in inches, 37 – positive offset in mm), tires – 185/65R14 (185 – tire width in mm, 65 – profile height in%, 14 – rim diameter in inches);
Other wheel characteristics and tire pressure:
- PCD (drilling) – 4 by 98 (4 is the number of holes, 98 is the diameter of the circle on which they are located in mm);
- fasteners – M12 by 1.25 (12 – stud diameter in mm, 1.25 – thread size);
- diameter of the central hole – 58.6 mm;
- tire pressure – 1.9 bar.
What is tire pressure
Gazelle tire pressure table.
Gas tire pressure 32213 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.

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 13th wheels at the rear you need to pump up to 2.1 atm., and for 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.

Review of the best summer and winter tires
What tire pressure should be in tires? Tire pressure table
Car tires require special care when choosing, and that is why care is needed here
Lada Kalina puts forward its own requirements for car tires, so it is important to individually consider the points when selecting winter and summer options
Basic summer tires
Nokian Hakka Green 2 is a popular option for summer car tires that ideally combines quality, reliability, practicality and functionality. Reasonable cost and quality from manufacturers are the main advantages.
Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is the second most important option, the cost of which is an order of magnitude higher than that of the Nokian, but at the same time the quality is slightly different, inferior by literally a couple of points.
Formula Energy is an option that is almost half the cost of the previous one, but is in no way inferior in quality. If you are on a limited budget, this tire option will be ideal.
Hankook Kinergy Eco 2 are well-known summer tires for cars, and they combine quality, reliability, attractiveness and affordable price. All this became the basis for the development of popularity. But, as practice shows, there are certain differences in quality, so it’s difficult to call such rubber durable.
Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is a combination of a well-known brand and a fairly high cost because of it, so there is a need to rationally consider options
It is also important to note that the quality, as practice has shown, is slightly different from current offers.
Basic winter tires
The right choice of winter tires for Lada Kalina cars is an opportunity to gain practicality and safety when driving. If we talk about the main options of appropriate quality, then it is worth highlighting the following models:
Continental ContiIceContact 2 is a well-known model that has been able to conquer its consumers with its high quality and reliability.
Avatyre Freeze is a domestic studded model designed for harsh road surfaces.
Sava Eskimo Stud - high quality Polish tires at a reasonable price.
Aeolus Ice Challenger is a Chinese tire model that ideally combines cost and technicality.
Yokohama iceGUARD iG55 are Japanese tire models that have proven themselves on Lada Kalina cars.
As a result, it must be said that Lada Kalina car tires are the ideal combination of reasonable cost and reliability, thanks to which the consumer receives many technical conveniences
But it is important to carefully consider the choice, since there are really a lot of offers on the modern car market
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.
Correct tire pressure is a very important aspect of driving safely. Although this indicator can be called relative, since it indicates the ratio of the proportion of air to volume, and does not simply measure its amount in the tire. But such measurements should be carried out constantly, because systematic monitoring will ensure driving safety and the durability of car components. Measurements are carried out using a special device called a pressure gauge. They come in different types and different accuracy classes. Therefore, for regular use it is worth choosing a high-quality device with a high accuracy class.
Cars from the domestic manufacturer Lada Granta are popular even today. This is because their price is low, and even an average family with an average income can afford such a car. The price-quality ratio is approximately the same, although some Lada models still receive a lot of negative reviews on the forums. Owners of such cars often do not think about what pressure standards must be observed. They don’t even know where such parameters are indicated. Similar information can be found in the instruction manual. There the manufacturer describes which indicators are suitable for which modification. Information about the tire sizes suitable for such cars and the number of atmospheres for each option are also provided.
Tire pressure gauge
In 13-inch tires, the permissible level at partial load is 1.9 atmospheres. And when fully loaded, they increase to 2.1 bar on the rear tires. But 14-inch wheels need to be inflated to 2.0 bar. At maximum load of the car, the indicators should be 2.2 Bar on the rear axle tires. The total carrying capacity of the vehicle is 475 kilograms.
On a note.
After your car tires are inflated at a tire shop, it is advisable to check the air level with your own pressure gauge upon arrival home.
Very often, employees of such organizations do not bother and pump all tires to 2.0 bar. And such indicators can be overestimated or underestimated for a particular brand of car. Therefore, the pumping should be controlled independently. A lot of problems can arise due to incorrect pressure. For example, under-inflated tires can lead to:
- quick erasing of side protectors on rubber;
- overheating of tires and their premature deterioration;
- impaired vehicle control, especially when turning;
- excessive fuel consumption.
There are some advantages to underinflated tires:
- soft running of the car;
- no noise or rattling inside the machine.
But the disadvantages clearly outweigh all the advantages. In order not to waste money on new tires later, it is better to adhere to acceptable standards.
Overinflated wheels also do not have a very good effect on the condition of the components and parts of the car:
- the suspension wears out quickly;
- the middle tread on the rubber wears off;
- the car drives hard;
- You can hear a rattling sound in the cabin and feel all the bumps and potholes on the road.
The only advantage is fuel economy, but you shouldn’t be too happy about this fact. The disadvantages here clearly outweigh all the advantages.
It is necessary to measure pressure only after the car has been idle for three hours after a trip, with cold tires.

IMPORTANT ! Tire pressures are measured only when the tire is cold – i.e. The car must be at rest for at least 2 hours before measurement. The recommended pressure specifically for your car is always indicated in the car's operating instructions, and is also duplicated on a plate located either on the gas tank flap, or on the driver's door pillar, or on the glove box lid.
IMPORTANT ! All tire pressure values indicated in the table are based on recommended tire sizes. If you use a tire size on your car that is not provided by the manufacturer, then the pressure inside the tire can only be determined experimentally.
Designations in the table: SSR – RUNFLAT tires (tires that allow you to continue driving your car after losing air pressure in the tire); VA – tire size installed on the front axle of the car; HA – tire size installed on the rear axle of the car; XL – tire with increased load capacity.

Tire pressure "Lada" in winter
In winter and summer, the pressure inside the tire changes due to environmental temperature changes. For example, in the summer, when it is very hot, the air inside the tire heats up and its volume increases. Therefore, the wheels need to be slightly underinflated, about 0.3 atmospheres. And in winter exactly the opposite happens. Due to low temperatures, the volume of air in a tire decreases, and therefore they should also be pumped at 0.3 atmospheres.
It is very important where exactly the car is located. If it is in a warm room, then when measuring pressure the pressure gauge will show optimal readings. But if you go outside in the cold, the tire performance will drop by about 0.4 Bar. And the car will already be driving on underinflated tires, and this is unsafe. Therefore, you should inflate the wheels in the garage and slightly increase the standard values, since they fall in the cold.
Fans of the Lada Kalina station wagon often do not think about changes in tire pressure at different times of the year. For such cars, the optimal indicators are 2.2 atmospheres on the wheels of the front axle, and 2.3 on the rear. Most drivers agree with these recommendations from the manufacturer and do not report severe discomfort while driving. But in winter, many people deviate from these standards. In cold weather, the front tires are inflated to 2.0 Bar, and the rear tires to 2.2 Bar. This takes into account that the tires on the car are factory. If the car is re-shod with wide-profile tires, the pressure readings increase. The front should be 2.4 Bar and the rear should be 2.5 Bar. Low-profile and narrow tires require 1.9-2.0 atmospheres on the front axle, and 2.0-2.2 on the rear.
Kalina
The Lada Vesta sedan has a greater maximum load capacity than the previous model. The load capacity index is up to 615 kilograms. The instructions indicate pressure parameters equal to 2.1 atmospheres, both for the front and rear wheels. As the load increases, the rear wheels are pumped up to 2.2 bar. Such indicators are typical for tires R15 and R16. But in winter it is better to keep the pressure within 2.2 Bar. The manufacturer recommends measuring the amount of air in the tire at least once a week. And also such an event must be carried out before a long trip.
Fans of the Largus model should know that the atmospheric performance in this car is higher than in the previous models under consideration. The pressure in Largus wheels for tires R14 and R15 is 2.4 Bar on the front axle, and 2.6 on the rear. But owners of such cars note that with such parameters the car drives very hard, so they often underestimate the recommended readings. At the same time, there is no significant wear of the rubber. But you shouldn’t get carried away with underestimation, as this can lead to a lot of problems. If the driver is a fan of fast driving, then lowering the pressure by 1.0 Bar will be quite justified. The rubber heats up at high speed, and the volume of air increases, so such a decrease will not affect it.
What non-standard sizes can be supplied?
Non-standard sizes of winter and summer tires are acceptable on the Lada Kalina, if you choose them correctly among the entire range provided. At the moment, manufacturers have tried to expand the boundaries of their offerings in order to prove themselves to potential customers. The following options for non-standard winter and summer tires are distinguished:
- The R16 is a large diameter wheel, which raises the car's suspension slightly, resulting in a soft and smooth ride.
- Small radii are an opportunity to lower the vehicle, while emphasizing its practicality, but it is not recommended to use the car at such a low “landing” in impassable terrain, since there is a possibility of damage to the front and rear bumpers.
Summer tires differ from winter tires in that they remain stable on the track, despite the increased temperature of the surface, which heats up the rubber and can cause it to stick to the surface.
In winter, it is important to ensure good grip on slippery roads, while preventing the car from skidding on poorly cleaned road surfaces.

They are made from a high-quality rubber mixture, which ensures their resistance to abrasion and extends their service life. Thanks to the presence of directional slats, high-quality water drainage is ensured.
- HANKOOK WINTER I*CEPT IZ2 W616 195/55 R15 89 T. These are tires for passenger cars produced in Korea. Thanks to the high-quality composition of the rubber mixture, it is possible to reach speeds of up to 190 kilometers per hour. Thanks to the presence of stiffeners in the tires, vehicle stability when cornering is guaranteed.
- NOKIAN WR D4 185/65 R14 86 T. These are winter tires that have a height to width ratio of 65 percent. Directional slats provide high-quality drainage. Stiffening ribs guarantee vehicle stability when cornering and extend service life. Rubber guarantees full balancing and high-quality ride. Rubber is characterized by high traction and grip characteristics. Channels and sipes on the tire ensure efficient removal of water, slush and snow from under the wheels. When using the tire, skidding and slipping are eliminated.
- FULDA ECOCONTROL 185/65 R14 86 T. This is a summer tire that provides full balancing in variable weather conditions. Thanks to the universal design of the tire, safety is ensured when turning and performing sharp maneuvers. The tire adheres well to the road surface, regardless of its characteristics. They released summer tires that are hard and solid even at high temperatures. Thanks to the universal characteristics of summer tires, safe movement on wet roads is ensured. Specially designed patterns allow for high-quality water drainage.
The ideal tires that will suit all driving styles have not yet been created. Therefore, when choosing tires, you need to be guided by the operating characteristics of the vehicle. For the Lada Priora you need to buy summer and winter tires, which will not only extend their service life, but also ensure the safety of driving the car.
It is recommended to select tires for Lada Priora in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. To ensure a full ride on the car, it is recommended to give preference to the original version of tires, which fully correspond to the size of the wheels.
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.
Safe driving of any car will directly depend on the condition of the wheels.
It is important to prevent tires from wearing out quickly
Features of wheel inflation
To ensure comfortable and safe driving of the Kalina in winter and summer, it is necessary to measure the degree of tire inflation with a mechanical or electronic pressure gauge.
Allowable air pressure in tires of Lada Priora cars
You will also see the optimal inflation mode in the table provided by each tire manufacturer. The values in it are adjusted depending on:
- number of passengers, luggage;
- car model (indicators for Grants, Priora and other Lada models differ depending on their weight).
Remember that the same pressure must be maintained in both winter and summer.
Recommended tire pressure for Lada Granta cars
However, there is a nuance: if the Lada Kalina is parked for a long time in a warm garage or service station, prepare for a slight decrease in tire inflation after driving out into the cold.
Thus, you will have to inflate your car tires more often during the cold season.
The standard value of pressure in the front and rear wheels for the Lada Kalina should be as follows:
- for the VAZ-1117 model - 1.9 atm on the front and rear wheels when partially loaded, as well as 1.9/2.1 on the front and rear wheels when fully loaded;
- for the VAZ-1118 model - 1.9 or 2 atm at partial load, as well as from 1.9 to 2.2 atm at full load on the front and rear wheels, respectively;
- for the VAZ-1119 model - 2 atm at partial and 2/2.2 atm at full load on the front and rear wheels, respectively.
Allowable air pressure in the tires of the Lada-Kalina
Experts call a partial load of a Priora, Granta or another Lada model when up to 3 people are in the car, provided the trunk is unloaded. Full load - the maximum possible number of passengers in the car and cargo in the trunk (with a weight of less than 50 kg).
If you want to know the tire inflation levels, wait until they cool down (after a long ride or exposure to the sun). This will make the pressure gauge results more accurate.
Lada-Kalina tire sizes
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.
Tire pressure indicators for Lada Liftback in summer
The manufacturer's hint regarding optimal pressure levels can be found on the driver's door center pillar. According to it, the number of atmospheres in such a car should be 2.0 atmospheres on all four wheels with a minimum load. The maximum load of the car provides for a change in indicators to 2.2 Bar on the rear axle and 2.0 Bar on the front.
In the summer, if the car is in a cool garage, the indicators will be the same, but when the car goes out into the heat, the amount of air in the tire will increase. Therefore, before the trip it is worth lowering the pressure by about 0.3 Bar. This way you can achieve the most correct parameters as stated by the manufacturer. The most important thing in this case is to monitor the behavior of the car. If the car skids when turning or excessive fuel consumption is noticed, then you immediately need to check the pressure and bring it to optimal levels. Otherwise you will have to buy new parts and tires.
Properly inflated tires
The pressure must be checked by the driver systematically. If you constantly forget about such a little thing, it can lead to many consequences. When driving a car on a busy highway with the wrong pressure, you can endanger not only yourself, but also other drivers and pedestrians.
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.
What to choose
For each driving style, you need to choose tires that suit your driving style. Prior owners must decide for themselves which summer and winter tires are best to choose.
For those who have a more aggressive driving style, it is better to take wide tires, but the problem is that tires of this type are intended only for asphalt - such tires will not be of any use on dirt or wet country roads. The negative aspects of such rubber are increased noise in the cabin and extreme rigidity, which can have a bad effect on the suspension.
For owners whose style is the most relaxed, it is better to purchase softer tires, designed for soft and comfortable movement on any road. The disadvantages of soft tires are that the steering response is slightly slower or the braking distance may be slightly longer.
As a result, every owner of a Lada Priora should have a summer and winter set of tires. And what brand the tires will be, what the pressure will be and what tires are right for you - it’s up to you and no one else to decide. The main thing is not to violate the recommendations of the manufacturer and not to drive recklessly on the roads - after all, the most important thing in any car is the safety of the driver and passengers.
Lada Priora is a domestically produced car. To ensure safe driving, it is recommended to select the correct tires in accordance with the wheel sizes and season.
The Lada Priora car has been produced since 2007. The manufacturer recommends selecting tires in accordance with the size of the wheels and engine power. If the engine has a displacement of 1.6 liters and 8 valves, then it is recommended to install tires of sizes 185/60 R14, 175/65 R14, 185/65 R14 on a 14-inch wheel.

If the vehicle has a 16-valve engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 72 kW, then it is recommended to use tires with dimensions:
The manufacturer recommends using tubeless and radial tires. He recommends using rubber that is about 185 millimeters wide. They are installed on a disk with a diameter of 14 inches.

Car wheels are an integral and one of the most important parts of any vehicle. The Lada Granta model is suitable for several sizes of wheels and tires, which the manufacturer installs depending on the overall design of the car.
The most frequently produced Grant models are cars with stamped wheels with diameters R13 and R14. Relatively recently, the size range has expanded with R15 and R16 wheels.

The size of the wheels and tires significantly affects the overall performance and behavior of the car on the road. Therefore, the manufacturer does not recommend installing wheels on the LADA Granta whose rim diameter exceeds R15. Owners of cars of this model come to the same opinion. When surveying car enthusiasts, it was revealed that most drivers use wheels with a diameter of 15.
According to technical specifications, factory-equipped vehicles may have the following tire sizes:
Thus, the most suitable tires for a car of this model are R13 and R14 tires. This is a classic size for the Russian car manufacturer. These tires are easy to find on the market. Another advantage is their affordable price.
The possibility of installing R15 tires on the Grant is not excluded. When leaving the assembly line, a car with a rim diameter of 15 has a tire size of 185/55. However, they will fit well with tires from the 175/70 or 185/60 size range.

Tire pressure of the car Kalina station wagon
Our interest in tire pressure is not idle.
Its applied component is the connection with fuel consumption. Do we lose rubles and how much by deviating “down” by 0.5 atm from the recommended pressure, and do we win by overinflating the tire? What are the consequences of pressure control on the peephole? After all, a deviation in one direction or another by half an atmosphere is almost impossible to visually detect. And are those who deliberately depressurize tires to improve smoothness or overinflate them to save gas right? And one more thing: if the influence of pressure on rolling resistance is significant, is it possible to use this dependence for good? And at the same time, we’ll find out how changes in tire pressure affect other qualities of the car.
These, in fact, are the tasks for which we once again took on the car, tires and measuring equipment. The car is a Lada-112 on Kleber Viaxer tires with a dimension of 175/70R13. Load – driver and operator of the Vbox measuring complex.
We start with a base pressure of 2.0 atm, taking it as a starting point. We warm up the tires with a ten-kilometer run, accelerate and measure the run-out from a speed of 80 km/h. It turns out 1175 meters - by no means an outstanding result for the Lada-112, but we are interested not so much in the value itself as in its deviations when the pressure changes. The same applies to the maximum speed at the “rearrangement” - we got 65.9 km/h. The next objective test: the length of the braking distance on the verge of wheel locking. On dry asphalt the car freezes after exactly 46 meters.
Let's move on to the assessments: handling, directional stability, smoothness - all parameters did not cause any complaints or special delight. That’s why the scores in each exercise are “norm”, that is, 8 points.
Let the car sit so that the temperature in the tires drops to the original temperature, and relieve the pressure to 1.5 atm. The first differences in the behavior of the car are noticeable already while the tires are warming up - the road seems to have become smoother, and there are fewer cracks on it. No, of course, the tires just became softer, which had a positive effect on the smoothness of the ride. But directional stability on a straight line deteriorated: the car began to wander along the lane, reacting to the slightest lateral disturbance - be it a road bump, a slight side slope or a light gust of wind. Scores are 9 and 7 points respectively.
The run-out was reduced to 1108 meters - we “lost” almost 70 meters (5.7 percent). At the same time, consumption increased slightly, only about 2 percent.
At the “rearrangement” the speed decreased slightly. The reason, I think, is clear - controllability has worsened. It has become much more difficult to get into the second corridor of the “rearrangement” - the car strives to jump to the right or left. Score no more than 6 points.
But the braking distance decreased – it gained more than a meter from the “normal pressure”. The decrease in pressure caused an increase in the contact patch, and most of the micro-irregularities in the road terrain began to work on braking. Braking control has also become more pleasant: measuring the force on the pedals (controlling the initial phase of wheel locking) is easier in this case. And the results of braking measurements were “more crowded.”
Before the final stage there is a short break. While the tires are cooling, raise the pressure to 2.5 atm.
The road is well known, directional stability is very close to the original state (8 points), but the smoothness of the ride has become worse - it seems as if all the road patches and small seams have bulged, and the overinflated tires, slapping them, vigorously shake the car. We write down 6 points.
The run-out is 1232 m – the difference from the previous state is more than 200 meters, and from the original state – 52 m or 4.9 percent. The effect is slightly less than when the pressure is reduced by the same 0.5 atm. And you can save only 1.6 percent of gasoline.
But at the “rearrangement” the speed is record-breaking – almost 67 km/h. But there are some comments regarding handling - the steering feel has noticeably deteriorated compared to the norm. Overinflated tires have practically lost their slip, and this, oddly enough, harms the “understanding” of the car, especially in critical conditions. No more than 7 points.
The braking distance remained almost unchanged - only the spread of results slightly increased, and it became more difficult to stay on the verge of skidding. For ease of braking control we give it a seven.
Now let’s calculate what games with pressure give us. We focus on average fuel consumption of 8 l/100 km and the price of gasoline of 18.5 rubles/l AI-95. With reduced pressure, fuel consumption increases by 2 percent, that is, it will increase to 8.16 l/100 km. In monetary terms, it turns out to be 29.6 rubles per 1000 km. A vacation trip of 4,000 km will receive an additional 118.4 rubles. – the figure is not at all impressive.
Now let’s weigh the savings from tire “hypertension” - 8 liters minus 1.6 percent gives 2.4 rubles per 100 km - for the same vacation you will be able to “get rich” by 94 rubles. Even if we add up the “won” money with possible losses, we get a very modest economic effect - 214 rubles.
But reducing the pressure by half an atmosphere below the recommended one, in addition to increasing fuel consumption, worsens controllability and directional stability. Although there is some benefit - the “brakes” become a little better, the smoothness of the ride increases.
Tires pumped to the same “half point” allow you to recoup almost one and a half percent of fuel and increase the speed of extreme maneuvers by 1 km/h. True, at the cost of reduced ride smoothness and some deterioration in handling.
Overinflated tires wear out mainly in the center of the treadmill, while underinflated tires wear out along the edges.
MORE? LESS? NORM!
The conclusions, frankly speaking, are unexpected - deviation of tire pressure in one direction or another does not so much affect rolling resistance (read: fuel consumption), as it destroys the balance of the consumer qualities of the car! In addition, with any abnormal pressure, the tread wears unevenly. Low-inflated tires have more intense shrinkage of the edges—the shoulder area—while overinflated tires—the middle part of the tread. It turns out that the tire pressure should be maintained at the pressure recommended by the car manufacturer. And yet, deviation “down” is fraught with more unpleasant consequences than “up”.
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.
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.
What is the tire pressure
The Lada Kalina car, like any other, requires careful technical preparation, and the tires must be inflated to a certain level in order to maintain maneuverability, practicality and safety on the track. It is also considered an important property that the pressure level can be adjusted depending on the terrain, while creating characteristic technical conveniences in this matter.
The correct choice of tire pressure is a guarantee of their safe and practical use. Normal, that is, medium pressure, is the best option for maneuverable driving to obtain practicality and convenience when driving a vehicle. If the tires have low pressure, then maneuverability is reduced and the car can go off the road when driving at high speed, creating characteristic dangers.
If we talk about very high pressure, it can lead to cracking of the tire, so the motorist requires careful attention to the technical parameters. A car consists of different devices and materials, which is why special attention to detail is required in this matter, and therefore special attention to the main points is necessary.
Check your car tire pressure regularly
Owners of VAZ cars, like any other brands, are recommended to regularly check the level of tire inflation - at least once a month. Practice shows that over the course of a month the pressure decreases by 0.4 atmospheres. In this case, it is necessary to pump up the wheels.
To measure, you don’t have to constantly go to a service station - you can do it yourself using a pressure gauge. We do it this way:
- We reset the device readings.
- Remove the cover from the spool.
- We put the fitting of the device on the nipple and press.
- We take readings from the device.
Check your vehicle tire pressure regularly
Since temperature can significantly affect the readings, it is necessary to take them before leaving the garage on “cold” tires. Remember that regular monitoring is the key to your safety and long vehicle life.
