Summer tires on Lada Vesta - choose and save

The assortment is falling, and prices are rising - this is how the state of the tire market in Russia can be briefly described. If you decide to purchase summer tires, it is not recommended to pull with a purchase. But there is no need to store rubber for the future.

Which manufacturers are working today

In total, 8 companies have their own enterprises in the country: Pirilli, Cordiant, Kama, Nikian, Yokohama, Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental. Of these, although with interruptions, the first four work with certain difficulties. The rest also do not leave the Russian market, but production was temporarily suspended (and not stopped!). So far, these companies are partially satisfying demand at the expense of remaining stocks.

Even those companies that do not have their own production facilities in the Russian Federation, but simply sell their products, are not going to leave their trade niches. The conclusion here is unequivocal: none of the tire manufacturers are thinking of leaving such a large market as the Russian one. Today, everyone is mainly concerned with logistics ؘ - the search for new ways to deliver products, components, raw materials for the manufacture of tires. Increased interest is shown by the Chinese - Triangle, Delinte and others.

Sizes of summer tires and wheels for Vesta

For this model, 15" stamped wheels are factory-fitted. If desired, you can order a car with Anna-15 cast products from the manufacturer K&K. For versions of the machine with discs of the 16th and 17th diameter, products from the same company are used - Ptalomey-16 or 17.



As for rubber, in the regular basic version, these are tires 185/65/R15 88H, produced by the Russian branch of Pirelly, model Cinturato P1. However, on the Lada Vesta, which left the assembly line, you can also see tires from the Belarusian manufacturer - ArtMotion. For 16” wheels, Matador MP44 Elite 3 tires are provided, for 17” (car model - Cross) - Continental EcoContact 6 or ContiSportContact 5 (for Vesta Sport) from Germany.



When choosing a diameter, it is worth considering the height of the wheel ready for installation. For Lada Vesta, this is no more than 660 mm. Compliance with these parameters allows you to use tires and 18-inch wheels. However, the size in this case should be 225/45 and no more. Fitting 19” wheels will require suspension modifications. Recommended sizes, disc parameters in parentheses - rim width in inches (for 15-17" wheels, the offset is 45-50 mm, for 17" and 18" - 38-43 mm):

✅ 15” - 165/70 (6J), 185/65 (6-6,5J), 195/65 (6-7J), 205/60 (6-7,7J)

What can be found on the Russian market of tires for Lada Vesta today? There is a choice - below are the most popular models.

ES32 IN YOKOHAMA BLUEARTH

The Japanese manufacturer offers tires with five-pitch tread blocks. This solution guarantees even tire wear and reduced noise. Lightning-shaped longitudinal grooves provide rigidity and quickly remove moisture from the contact patch. Wide longitudinal "highways" prevent hydroplaning. The compound used in the manufacture adheres well to any type of surface.



Users note the softness of the rubber, the ability to "swallow" the bumps in the road.

CONTINENTAL CONTIPREMIUMCONTACT 5

This tire model boasts strong soundproofing qualities, which is very important for a relatively noisy Lada Vesta car. The tire has developed shoulder zones, thanks to which the car steadily enters turns at high speed. A well-thought-out tread pattern prevents drift, the tires guarantee a shortened braking distance, resist rolling, which has a positive effect on directional stability.



Motorists confirm the low noise of tires and the stability given to the car when driving in a straight line. The negative point is excessively soft sidewalls: when driving in the city, you need to be more careful with curbs and other similar obstacles.

Michelin Primacy 4TL

Tires from the French manufacturer are characterized by an innovative compound. In the manufacture of the rubber compound, it was possible to combine such different qualities as strength and softness. Even with the onset of cold weather, the tire does not “dube”. Tires provide a relatively short braking distance, a special tread pattern effectively removes water. Numerous sipes provide confident grip on both wet and dry roads.



Of the positive qualities, car owners distinguish good braking, stability on wet pavement, and low noise. Of the minuses - the "dislike" of tires for ruts and the high cost.

Belshina Artmotion

Despite the budget price, the tire has a number of advantages. First of all, this is the safety margin of the product: such a tire is not afraid of potholes on the road and broken asphalt. The compound used is soft, however, the tire is not prone to herniation. Belarusian tires are resistant to hydroplaning, confidently pass a wet road surface.



Of the advantages, users highlight a long service life - some owners of Lada Vesta talk about a mileage of 40 thousand km with acceptable tread wear. Others note increased noise after 90 km / h.

VIATTI STRADA ASIMMETRICO V-130

Asymmetric tires from a Russian manufacturer (Nizhnekamsk) with an Italian name (masters from this country developed tire designs) are popular with Lada Vesta owners due to their democratic cost with large sizes. Also, the success of this model is facilitated by high performance. The tire improves the handling of the car, reduces the braking distance. A distinctive feature is wear resistance, prolonging the life of the product.



Buyers note the resistance of the tire to impacts: the slope “swallows” pits, bumps and curbs “without choking”. Users also like the price of rubber, "obedient behavior" on the track at high speed. Among the shortcomings, poor balancing stands out: it takes a long time to “adjust” the tire at the tire fitting.

Features of choosing tires for Lada Vesta

Your best bet is to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The tire size indicated in the instructions has been checked, researched, tested a thousand times at the factory, including using computer graphics. And it is impossible to improve one characteristic without worsening another. For example, by installing low-profile wide tires, you will get improved handling, a “cool” appearance of the car. But you will “pay” for this with a high fuel consumption, a decrease in comfort on a bad road - all the bumps and pits are yours! In addition, when hitting a serious obstacle, a tire rupture, its deformation (more precisely, the cord), which will lead to the impossibility of further operation, is not ruled out.
