For every driver, a car is another family member, and some sometimes care about it even more than their beloved wife. It is very important to ensure road safety to have good grip on the road, and this can only be achieved with the right tires.
Choosing good tires is a very serious and lengthy matter, since each person has his own concepts of “good” tires, and wallets are also different. It should be said right away that such a choice will not be simple. Let's consider the types of tires, for example, for the VAZ 2114, because this car is very popular here in Russia.
Some people prefer to take universal tires that do not need to be changed in the off-season, and if we talk about choosing, for example, for the VAZ 2114, then this option is not suitable for us a priori.
Cheap all-season tire models, such as the Polish Debica NAVIGATOR or the Chinese Sunny SN600, will give you equally poor grip performance in both summer and winter. And their wear will be much higher than seasonal tires replaced on time.
Despite the fact that Debica is part of the famous and wildly promoted concern The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, this does not stop them from producing cheap tires costing about 1,500 rubles. per piece with quality corresponding to the cost.
There is nothing to say about China at all; it is worth noting that tires in this category with good performance exist, but their price exceeds 4-5 thousand rubles. a piece. Therefore, this option should not be considered as acceptable for an inexpensive domestic car. It is optimal to take a set of summer and a set of winter tires, all-season tires - they are more suitable for SUVs and cars with all-wheel drive.
In general, in order to more easily imagine all-season tires, try to imagine a compromise between fur boots and summer sandals.
Summer tires are easier to choose than winter ones, since there is no need to solve global issues, whether to choose tires with or without studs. But if you buy the same tires that you had before, you are unlikely to get a tire of the same quality.
If we talk about manufacturers, then everything is quite simple: if there is no money at all, then the same Sunny or Debica will be a joy, but if you want to take something better, then look at tires with big names.
Brigestone and Michelin have pretty good and at the same time budget wheels costing around 2000 rubles apiece. When choosing, you should carefully look at the tread grooves, since they are responsible for the lack of aquaplaning effect; the wider they are, the more water the tire will pump out when driving on a wet road.
There are enthusiasts who install larger diameter tires on VAZ car models, naturally on larger rims. This does not lead to any positive consequences. Wider rubber, according to such experts, gives a larger contact patch, due to this, better grip and a shorter braking distance are achieved, but in fact, a larger contact patch means less pressure, and traction, on the contrary, decreases.
The recommended sizes for tires for 2114 are R13 175/70, R14 175/65 or 185/60; more detailed information, by the way, is indicated by the manufacturer in the vehicle's passport.
Should I take the spikes or not? On the one hand, studs hold the road better on ice and compacted snow, but on dry asphalt they are skis.
Moreover, inexpensive studs do not last long; I personally do not recommend buying studded tires with a price of at least 3,000 rubles, and this is already a rather expensive class of rubber.

The best winter non-studded tires for the VAZ-2114
Drivers of the domestic VAZ-2114 passenger car living in regions with a warm climate, areas where icy roads are a rare occurrence, are recommended to use friction rubber or Velcro tires.
The best options for such tires are presented in our review.
Belshina Artmotion Snow
Description of the tire. Increased strength of contact blocks, an effective water and snow removal system, reliable grip - characterize this model of tires from the Belarusian company.
Wide channels in the center, diagonal grooves separating the checkers, are interconnected, forming an effective drainage system.
Their volume is quite enough to dry the place where the tire comes into contact with the road, which makes it possible to improve grip properties.
All contact spots of the tread with a directional symmetrical pattern are covered with numerous sipes.
The edges of these slots reliably hold the road surface while driving and promote reliable braking.
The special shape of the grooves limits the displacement of spots under load, increases their service life, and reduces wear.
- Comfort tire: quiet and soft.
- High-quality braking on slush, snow, asphalt.
- Reasonable price.
- Long working life.
- Not afraid of punctures.
Drivers generally speak positively about this friction rubber model. They recommend it for driving around the city for drivers who support a calm driving style.
Viatti Brina V-521
Description of the tire. The Velcro tire model is characterized by the presence of a large number of hard contact spots, which provide reliable grip on any winter road surface.
