Recommended wheel and tire sizes for Lada Largus

The wear resistance of tires is influenced by the composition of the rubber compound, the characteristics of the cord, driving style and mileage traveled. As a rule, tires need to be changed after 3-5 seasons if the trips are regular and the driver is careful. More precisely, the need to change shoes is indicated by the height of the remaining tire tread or the indicator at its base. For summer ones it should not be lower than 1.6 mm, for winter ones - 4-6 mm. This is established in the technical regulations, but in life you can do this a little earlier. The more worn a tire is, the easier it is to puncture and the worse its grip on the road.

In many regions of Russia, the climate varies greatly, so there are no set dates when winter studded tires need to be removed. But as of June 1, 2021, amendments will come into force according to which traffic police inspectors will be able to give you a receipt for 500 rubles if you drive on studded tires in the summer months or on summer tires in the winter.

The manufacturer, as a rule, indicates several suitable tire sizes in the technical manual for the car. From this point of view, Lada Largus is an exceptional car. The manufacturer did not give its owners a choice and recommended only one tire size: 185/65 R15. It is for these tires that our rating shows speed and load indices.

Light, controlled and quiet tires appeal to most drivers. This model is chosen not only for the Lada Largus, but also for high-speed cars. Soft rubber smoothly overcomes road irregularities, and together with a noise level reduced by 1 dB, it guarantees complete comfort for the driver. The original tread design ensures confident movement on dry and wet road surfaces. Drivers note the absence of aquaplaning and reliable grip on asphalt, as well as high controllability when the speedometer readings are off the charts. But they complain about a weak cord.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Excellent handling
• Grip on wet asphalt
• Quiet
• Soft

• Weak cord

Frequency of checking tire pressure

The tightness of the wheel structure is not ideal. The air gradually comes out. The reduction in pressure directly depends on the air temperature.

Monitoring must be regular. It is optimal to check your blood pressure at least twice a week. Ideal when leaving a parking lot, visiting a gas station, or performing maintenance.

The measurement should be carried out before the tires heat up (for example in the morning) in all wheels, even in the spare tire. Checking along the way will not give accurate indicators. The pressure in the tire should be lower than in the other wheels.

Visual assessment of the condition of tires is an irresponsible attitude towards the vehicle and safety. There is a high risk of not noticing a slight decrease or increase in pressure (0.1-0.5 atmospheres).

It must be remembered that temperature fluctuations and vehicle loading lead to changes in the indicator. In the following situations, it is recommended to reduce the atmosphere to a level lower than the factory instructions:

• when driving on a slippery road (in winter);
• for off-road driving.

Wear resistance and handling This rubber provides stable road handling and is highly wear-resistant. The most important characteristics are combined with a reasonable price.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 3330 rub.

• Country: UK
• Load, kg: 560
• Speed, km/h: 190
• Tread pattern: asymmetrical

Inexpensive tires that drivers of Lada Largus and other car brands choose for their quality and trust in the brand. Despite the moderate elasticity, the tires provide comfortable passage of all minor “surprises” of the road surface. Variable tread stiffness makes the load on the contact patch more uniform. Three wide drainage grooves along the tire and deep transverse grooves work to effectively drain water, so the risk of aquaplaning is minimized here. Drivers like the wear resistance and handling of tires, their behavior when performing maneuvers at speed. But they find it quite noisy.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Wear resistance
• Controllability
• Directional stability

• Noisy

Is it possible to install non-standard wheels with standard 15-inch ones?

Many drivers still have 14-inch wheels from their previous cars. They want to install them instead of the required standard 15-inch ones to save money. Moreover, stamping is heavy, but these seem practical in winter.

When installing non-standard parts, problems arise in the caliper bracket, which protrudes strongly relative to the plane of contact with the hub.

There is no gap when installing 14-inch wheels; When the nuts are tightened, the disc does not spin. The non-standard 15-inch ones also do not spin, but rub against the protruding bracket. And 16-inch ones create the necessary gap.

There are products with a shorter offset; when they are installed, the wheels will be positioned wider, this will lead to a change in the load on the bearings, and road dirt will fly onto the side of the car. If you put 6.5-inch wheels with an offset of 45 on a car, the wheel will hit. If there is a warranty on the car, certified K&K products are recommended.

Standard tire parameters

The size of tires and wheel rims can have a significant impact on how a car behaves while driving. The popular universal model of domestic origin Lada Largus, as well as its off-road variation “Cross”, were no exception in this matter. Today these modifications are products of the Russian giant AvtoVAZ.

For the Largus configuration, the manufacturer uses tires produced by Amtel Planet DC. This is a domestic company owned by the Amtel-Vredestein NV corporation.

Wheels, which are stamped versions of the products, for Largus are kindly provided by the Italian manufacturer Magnetto Wheeles.

Important! For the Largus Cross option, the manufacturer uses Continental Premium Contact tires, which are manufactured by the legendary Continental AG brand.

The factory manual contains information regarding tire size options that are structurally suitable for a specific car model. Here Largus is an exception, since the manufacturer in the accompanying documentation indicated only a single option for the size of tires and wheels like them.

So, here are the parameters of the designated disks:

• product width indicator – “6J”;
• hub bolt pattern - “4x100”;
• sidewall overhang – “ET50”.

The only tire size option that the manufacturer recommends to equip various modifications of the LADA Largus is “185*65*R15”. This dimension also appears in the documentation supplied with the related model Dacia Logan MCV (2006).

The best balance of price and quality Budget studded tires provide stability on the roads in all types of winter weather.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 3680 rub.

• Country Russia
• Load, kg: 560
• Speed, km/h: 180
• Tread pattern: asymmetrical

These Russian tires are an example of a worthy combination of affordable price and reliability. They have few studs, but they are distributed so that each element works for traction. Thanks to the bear claw technology, the studs are positioned vertically to the road surface. Together with the V-shaped distribution of the central tread elements and the large number of gripping edges of the 3D sipes, this ensures excellent grip properties in difficult road conditions. Drivers note that the tires confidently hold the road and cope with icy surfaces and loose snow. True, the tires are noisy, which is especially noticeable at high speeds. But this is a feature of any thorns.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Affordable price
• Car predictability
• Good grip
• Wear resistance

• Noisy

Other sizes

Some desperate owners strive to experiment in this area and install tires with different characteristics on their station wagons. Often people are prompted to do this by the desire to distinguish their “horse” from the gray mass of cars of the same type.

The most popular “experimental” size is “195x65xR15”. Much less often, owners install tires with dimensions “195x60xR15” or “205x60xR15”. Note that the space present inside the body arches allows the use of tires with other sizes:

• for “R16” wheels: “195x55xR16”, “195x60xR16” and “205x55xR16”;
• applicable to “R17” wheels: “205x45xR17”, “205x50xR17” and “225x45xR17”;
• with “R18” wheels: “215x35xR18” and “215x40xR18”.

Larger instances should be installed with extreme caution. Such “rollers” can lead to unpredictable changes in the behavior of a car on the road surface. This is especially pronounced in unfavorable weather.

How increasing the wheel size can affect the behavior of the car can be found in this table.

One should not discount the fact that increased sizes of wheels and tires can cause incorrect operation of the following systems responsible for active safety:

The most adaptive The tread consists of many blocks with 3D lamellas, which have a huge number of cutting edges. The design allows the tires to adapt to your driving style.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 3678 rub.

• Country: Russia, Japan
• Load, kg: 560
• Speed, km/h: 180
• Tread pattern: asymmetrical

Tires from the mid-price category demonstrate excellent capabilities on winter city roads. Each element of the asymmetrical tread pattern changes in accordance with the pressure regime. This is how tires adapt to different driving situations. Longitudinal drainage grooves remove water and melted snow dirt from under the contact patch. Drivers in reviews talk about good handling, soft and comfortable rides without unnecessary noise. If you adhere to the speed limit, the braking distance is quite predictable. But the wear resistance of the rubber leaves much to be desired.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Comfortable
• Quiet
• Good handling

• Wear resistance

With the highest number of studs , this model has twice as many studs as previous models, resulting in impeccable traction in extreme conditions.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 4650 rub.

• Country: France
• Load, kg: 630
• Speed, km/h: 190
• Tread pattern: asymmetrical

French tires designed for harsh winter conditions successfully cope with traction on ice and snow-covered roads. The manufacturer generously endowed this rubber with studs, doubling their number compared to the previous model. The design of the studs is reminiscent of those found on racing tires. Together with a thoughtful tread design, this makes it possible to confidently maneuver at high speeds. Of course, it’s not worth taking a Lada Largus into a turn at a maximum of 190 km/h - not every car and driver can cope with this. But, in general, drivers rate the grip and handling of these tires highly. They also talk about the softness and smoothness of the ride, but note that the tires are very noisy at first.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Excellent grip on ice
• Good paddling in the snow
• Wear-resistant

• Noisy
