Maximum Priora tire size

The production of the domestic car Lada Priora was carried out from 2008 to 2022 inclusive. Over such a long time, the owners have redesigned some components of the car, the main ones of which are the wheels. At the moment, replacing discs is a common issue for most Lada Priora owners.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

This may be due not only to the visual component, but also to the technical one, since factory wheels on old Prioras tend to become outdated. This article will discuss the problem of replacing disks with both standard ones, which are installed by the manufacturer, and non-original ones, purchased for the purpose of tuning a car.

* Speed indices: H – up to 210 km/h, Load capacity indices: 86 – 530 kg.
**Rim offset (ET) is the distance from the mating plane of the disc to the middle of the rim.
R is not a radius, but a designation of the radius of the tire, and the number is the diameter of the rim in inches.

It is allowed to use winter tires (M+S) of the above dimensions and index Q with a corresponding limitation of the maximum vehicle speed (up to 160 km/h).

The diameter of the mounting holes is 98 mm (wheel hub bolt pattern 4x98)
The diameter of the central hole of the wheel (disc), CO (DIA) - 58.
Minimum tire tread height - 1.6 mm

What non-standard sizes can be supplied?

Installation of disks of other sizes is allowed. It is important to note that before use, you should ensure that there are no compatibility issues. Using wheels of non-standard sizes can cause the following problems:

breakage of the plastic fender liner;
damage to mudguards;
premature wear of the chassis.

Often an installed wheel of a larger diameter touches the inside of the fender liner. Which leads not only to damage to the plastic under the car arches. But also quick wear of the tread. It is advisable to avoid such situations.

A good solution is to “try on” a similar wheel before purchasing non-standard tires. It should not overlap the car body even in extreme steering positions. Otherwise, the installation must be abandoned.

In some cases, after modification, it is possible to install wheels with a diameter of 15 and even 16 inches. However, this can only be done after finalizing the design of the car. The wheel arches will need to be rolled in with a special roller - after which they can be used without any problems, there is a danger of damaging the body.

The car manufacturer suggests the possibility of using wheels of non-standard overall dimensions. It is allowed to install wheels with the following dimensions:

All tires with the diameters listed above can be mounted without any concerns. Load index – 86. Speed index – T. The use of 6.5J disks is mandatory. The diameter can be used 14, 15, 16. The bolt pattern on all the cars listed above is completely identical - 4x98.

Compatibility of tires and wheels Lada Priora

Based on reviews from owners, we have compiled a list of Priora wheel size compatibility:

On R14 wheels you can install tires with the following parameters: 175/65 R14, 175/60 R14, 175/55 R14, 175/50 R14, 175/45 R14, 175/40 R14, 185/65 R14, 185/60 R14, 185/55 R14, 185/50 R14, 185/45 R14, 185/40 R14, 195/50 R14, 195/45 R14, 195/40 R14, 205/55 R14, 205/50 R14, 205/45 R14, 205/40 R14 and 205/32 R14.
R15 wheels on Priora are installed with tires: 175/60 R15, 175/55 R15, 175/50 R15, 175/45 R15, 175/40 R15, 185/55 R15, 185/50 R15, 185/45 R15, 185/40 R15, 195/50 R15, 195/45 R15, 195/40 R15, 205/50 R15, 205/45 R15, 205/40 R15 and 205/32 R15.

R17 wheels among Lada Priora owners ; the following tires are allowed: 175/45 R17, 175/40 R17, 185/40 R17, 195/40 R17 and 205/32 R17.

It is important that the total diameter of the wheel is close to the factory value. To understand what tires and wheels can be installed on the Priora, we have compiled a compatibility table. The left one is for the minimum diameter (185/60 R14), and the right one is for the maximum diameter (185/65 R14):

Green indicates the minimum deviation of the wheel diameter (up to 3 mm); Orange indicates a diameter deviation from 3 to 6 mm.

Thus, you can install the following disks on Priora:

175/70 R13 , 205/65 R13, 205/60 R13, 225/60 R13, 225/55 R13;
175/70 R14, 175/65 R14 , 185/65 R14 , 185/60 R14, 205/60 R14, 205/55 R14, 215/55 R14, 225/50 R14 ;
175/60 R15, 175/55 R15, 185/55 R15, 195/55 R15, 195/50 R15, 215/50 R15, 215/45 R15, 225/45 R15;
175/55 R16, 175/50 R16, 185/50 R16, 185/45 R16, 195/50 R16, 195/45 R16, 205/45 R16, 215/45 R16, 215/40 R16;
175/40 R17, 185/45 R17, 185/40 R17, 205/40 R17;
175/40 R18.

We advise you to choose only those tires that AVTOVAZ recommends (they are highlighted in bold in the list).

Don't forget about the rim width:

When installing tires or wheels that differ in parameters

from those recommended by the factory, you can:

be refused warranty repair of the chassis;
be stopped by a traffic police inspector, who has the right to draw up a report on the car’s non-compliance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations;
fail to pass technical inspection.

Which summer tires to choose for this domestic car

A wide range of summer tires are suitable for Lada Priora. The size must be selected based on the recommendations of the car manufacturers. Information on the characteristics of suitable tires can be found in the technical documentation.

As for summer products, parameters 195, 185 or 175 indicate the corresponding tire width, which is measured in millimeters. Next comes the profile height indicator, which is indicated as a percentage relative to the width. The last one is usually the tire diameter, it can be R15, R16 and others.

What does the size of tires and wheels affect?

Increasing disc diameter	Increasing rim width	Increasing tire width
Car style	will improve	will improve	will improve
Road holding	will improve	will improve	will improve
Steering precision	will improve	will improve	will improve
Tire grip	Will not change	Will not change	will improve, but only on dry roads
Resistance to hydroplaning	Will not change	Will not change	will get worse
Comfort on rough roads	will get worse	Will not change	will improve
Road noise	Will not change	Will not change	will intensify
Gasoline consumption	Will not change	will increase	will increase
Tire wear	Will not change	Will not change	will increase

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

The smaller the unsprung masses

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

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

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

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

Seasonality of operation

Each climate period has its own peculiarities in choosing tires for Priora. They are determined by weather conditions and characteristics of the road surface, which are radically opposite, for example, in summer and winter. You can, of course, purchase all-season (Any Season, AS, R+W) tires, which will help you save money, but it is unlikely to guarantee ideal grip on the road surface at any time of the year.

Summer and winter tires that can be installed on Priora differ significantly in the chemical composition of the rubber alloys used for their production. The main task of both is to ensure maximum grip on the road surface.

Summer tires, even at very high air and road temperatures, remain hard and solid. Many of the summer models are specifically designed for driving on wet roads (Water), in rainy weather (Rain) or have aquaplaning protection (Aqua). The tread pattern of these tires is specially designed to effectively drain water when driving, provide stability and reduce noise pollution.

Range of tires and wheels for Priora

Winter tires (Winter, M+S) are able to maintain softness and elasticity at very low temperatures. They have a deep tread with a special sipe structure that perfectly gets rid of dirt, snow, water and provides a high degree of control over the Priora on a winter road. To drive on roads covered with ice and compacted snow, it is best to put the Priora on studded tires. But remember that the spikes will be useless on asphalt surfaces, where they quickly wear out and are quite noisy.

General recommendations

Any owner of a Lada Priora should remember that the best and safest option is to install absolutely identical tires on all four wheels . They must have the same dimensions, properties and tread pattern.

For most climatic zones, the most justified solution can be considered the purchase of two sets of tires for the Priora - winter and summer. The funds spent on their purchase will eventually pay off with a long period of operation, comfortable, confident and safe driving at any time of the year.

The inexpensive cost of tires should most likely put you on guard and should not be considered as the main factor in their purchase. High-quality rubber cannot be sold at the lowest price, since the best components and the latest technologies are used for its production. More expensive, branded tires are usually lighter and more durable than standard tires. They create a minimum of noise, reduce fuel consumption, and provide excellent handling of the Priora.

The desire to save money and purchase used tires is a dubious pleasure. After their installation, no one can guarantee you safe operation of the car. Only specialized service centers sell certified tires that meet all safety regulations and standards. Their staff will help you choose tires for your Priora that meet your requirements and fully comply with the technical parameters of the car. Your Lada Priora deserves the best!

Lada Priora - the model has already become almost a classic, despite the fact that it entered the market several years ago. Priora remains a popular model today. But despite the brand recognition, each car needs additional equipment. One of the names of such equipment is summer and winter tires for Lada.

Which tires are ideal? What tire pressure should be set on the Priora? Not only the stability of the car, handling and tire service life, but primarily the safety of the driver and passengers depend on the correct parameters.

Tires for different driving styles and conditions

There are simply no universal models of tires that would fully suit all driving styles and characteristics. Therefore, the different driving styles of Priora owners require equipping the car with tires with different performance and technical characteristics.

Supporters of an aggressive driving style, when purchasing wide high-speed tires for their Priora, must be prepared for the presence of a certain level of noise in the interior of their car. After all, such low-profile tires have extreme rigidity and read the road surface quite informatively. In addition, driving on such tires on mud or wet dirt roads looks problematic.

The owner of a Priora with a calm driving style is unlikely to spend money on expensive high-speed tires. After all, buying regular soft tires makes it possible for your car to move comfortably and reliably on roads with different surfaces. But the price for comfort in such cases may be the mediocre responsiveness of the Priora in motion or, for example, an increased braking distance.

In any case, it’s up to you to decide which tires to choose for your car. Consider what is most important to you and what you are willing to sacrifice when choosing tires.

The expected operating conditions of the car and knowledge of local roads should help any Priora owner make the right choice.

Pressure

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

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