Tractor wheels on the field

How to choose the right size of trajectory tires for a Niva

The Russian car market offers a fairly wide selection of tractor tires, and those manufacturers that produce them often have nothing to do with global brands that produce regular tires for cars and trucks.
So, if a car enthusiast is new to off-road driving, he can easily get confused among brands unfamiliar to him, and numerous experts often recommend the following manufacturers: Simex with its Extreme and Jungle Trekker models is one of the most popular suppliers of tires for rally-style tractors Trophy, as a rule, produces its tractor tires in large sizes, since it is aimed primarily at full-size SUVs and trucks. However, the company’s product range includes several modifications with parameters 32 x 9.5 R15, which fits perfectly under the wheel arches of the classic Niva.

Powerful mud grips and treads extending far into the shoulder area of ​​the tire help the car get out of almost any difficult road section. The directional, regular tread pattern creates a central rib that helps improve vehicle agility so the driver never loses control.

Simex tires on Niva

While Simex is imported to Russia from Europe and Asia with all the attendant overhead costs in the form of transportation costs and the need to pay customs duties, the domestic market has its own manufacturer of similar products, Forward, offering the no less popular Safari 500 model.

This tire has a minimum size of 235/75/R15, which fits under the wheel arches of a VAZ 2121 with great difficulty, and, most likely, the car enthusiast will have to lift his SUV for comfortable driving on uneven roads, however, some professional athletes simply trim the wheel arches a little to the protectors did not cling to the metal elements of the body.

The latest popular option for Niva is Siverstone MT-117 Extreme, which also has the famous Simex brand among its prototypes, and the products largely replicate its products. These tires are produced for domestic SUVs in dimensions 31x10.5 R16, and this is the minimum parameter of the brand, which requires careful calibration of the wheel arches and suspension, because otherwise the wheel simply physically will not fit into its seat.

Users note the rigidity of the tire, which enhances its grip even with the softest clay, but at the same time reduces comfort when driving on a flat road. In addition, due to the inexperience of the young manufacturer, tires often come out of production not completely flat, and it is very difficult to balance heavy tires with high inertia, so when choosing a wheel you need to pay maximum attention.

Why are the rear wheels of a tractor larger than the front wheels? Car enthusiasts can occasionally resort to installing larger diameter wheels on the rear axle, like a standard agricultural tractor, which can have wheels with tires up to 1.5...1.8 m. The fact is that this equipment is oriented in such a way that all attachments lies specifically on the rear part, and the huge diameter of the wheels creates high ground clearance, and also increases the torque tenfold, which allows the tractor to overcome any clay, swamp, peat and other places impassable for conventional equipment.

• Tires for Niva 2121: a selection of the best tires for any occasion

Which tires are better to put on the Niva 2121 - MT or AT?

The choice of the type of off-road tires for a Niva M/T or A/T directly depends on the type of roads on which the car owner will drive more often.

A/Ts are good for rural conditions and occasional off-road trips. In conditions of viscous clay and swamps, these tires can simply get stuck. Each model has its own recommendations for the ratio of asphalt and off-road - 50/50, 60/40, 40/60, etc.

A/T tires

M/T are more suitable for unpaved and off-road conditions. They are characterized by high noise on asphalt roads, long braking distances on asphalt, comparatively worse handling when driving only on asphalt road surfaces, and wear out and wear out extremely quickly. These tires show excellent driving performance in mud.

What's the difference

In addition to the difference in the purpose of roads and handling in certain conditions, tires differ in tread pattern. A/T have a medium aggressive tread pattern. M/Ts have a more powerful and aggressive tread pattern, which provides them with greater cross-country ability in mud.

Mud tires are an indispensable option for those owners of the Niva car who have to travel in the absence of roads, along rural, country roads, dirt roads, and forest clearings. These tires are indispensable for tourists, hunters, fishermen and travelers. They are an excellent way out of situations where ordinary wheels are powerless.

Mud tires for Niva Safari 540

Cars that feel equally comfortable both on city asphalt and in its complete absence have always been popular in our country. The reason for this, to put it mildly, is the unsatisfactory condition of roads even in large cities - let alone the provinces.

Even though our market is simply flooded with foreign-made SUVs, Russian Nivas (together with UAZs) create worthy competition for them. They themselves are cheaper, and spare parts are easier to buy and replace.

As for cross-country ability, in this they are not inferior to polished “foreigners” at all - they only need the right tires.

Let's look at how to choose wheels for an off-road Niva, but first let's look at their sizes.

The main criteria for choosing tires for a tractor

• Compliance of the tire with the ground . Weights affect the behavior and maneuverability of equipment. If the soil has high humidity, then the load bearings should be higher, and their angle of inclination should also be steeper. If the soil is very dense and hard, then you should choose an agricultural tire with load hooks located at a greater distance from each other. It should be noted that some models are capable of self-cleaning; this is achieved by a special tread pattern.
• Tire installation. Tires are used in different conditions, on different soils and on different axles, so you need to understand which wheels to use in a particular situation. For example, wheels with weights that have an inclination of 23 degrees are almost always placed on the rear wheels. At the same time, tires with alternating lean angles are usually placed on the front wheels of the drive axle.
• Tire load. You must clearly understand what loads will be on the tires in your case. We recommend operating an agricultural tire only within limits that do not exceed the load stated by the manufacturer. In case of violation, the situation of increased wear and failure of agricultural tires cannot be ruled out.

Factory tire parameters

Not all Russian roads have smooth and high-quality surfaces. We are not talking about large cities with a population of over a million, although here too there are often unpleasant “surprises” on the roads in the form of potholes and other irregularities. Today we are talking about the outback and country roads. Off-road requires an appropriate level of car. VAZ-2121 is the optimal vehicle for off-road driving.

VAZ-2121 is the best car for Russian off-road

Relatively comfortable off-road driving and driver safety depend on the technical characteristics of the car. Tires play an important role in driving a vehicle. The vast majority of VAZ-2121 are produced with factory tires VLI-5 R16 175/80. Basic tires have many disadvantages:

• poor handling on flat road surfaces;
• increased noise at speeds of 60 km/h or more;
• loss of elasticity and softness at sub-zero air temperatures.

Dimensions

The manufacturer installs tires of a strictly regulated size on the Niva model. By default, the wheels here are sized 185/75/R16. These are the wheels that are relevant for Niva 2121/2131 or 4x4 models. Depending on operating conditions and driver preferences, the manufacturer allows the installation of tires of a different radius or size.

Many people abandon R16 wheels in favor of 15 rollers to improve ride smoothness and reduce noise. The most popular non-standard sizes are 185/75/R16, 205/70/R15 or 205/70/R16.

You need to understand that not only the appearance, but also the handling of the car, as well as other characteristics, depend on the size of the tires. The 205/70/R16 tire has a nicer design, but will perform worse when driving off-road than 205/75/R15 rollers. Below is a table that gives an idea of ​​changes in the behavior of the car depending on the type of shoe (15th or 16th wheels).

What size winter tires should I use?

For winter, it is recommended to opt for tires in sizes 215/65

But, in addition to geometric parameters, a well-chosen brand of winter tires is important. For those who are studying winter tires for Niva 4x4: this review can help you understand the range offered

The selection of tires for the Niva Urban is completely similar to other models. The wheels used here are identical to those on older versions of the car. The only difference is the discs. Here the cast rims are placed on a five-spoke spider.

If the vehicle is intended to be used in off-road conditions, users recommend installing narrow, high tires. They are ideal for mud, snow and sticky clay. When driving on sandy areas, loose soil or crushed stone deposits, on the contrary, wider tires are chosen. This helps to avoid sinking into loose soils.

  Mud tires for 4x4 fields: radius 15 and 16

From spring to autumn, it is best to drive a Chevrolet Niva on summer tires. Especially when the daily route runs along city streets or country roads. Experts liked the following tire models.

Fans of active recreation have to overcome difficult sections of roads that pass through water meadows and forests. In such operating conditions, it is optimal to use mud tires. Here are a few tires suitable for the Chevrolet Niva.

If necessary, on a classic Lada 4x4 you can use wheels from a Chevrolet Niva. They have the same wheel bolt pattern, so there will be no problems installing such rims. But such a modernization will allow the use of wheels with different offset and width parameters.

Voltyre VLI5 or VLI10. The most affordable types of tires. They are only suitable if you need to skate for one season, but you don’t want to spend too much money.

Kama 511. According to test results, it shows good grip on snow. The rubber is Russian-made, but despite this it is not entirely suitable for mud, as it tends to dig in.

Kama Flame. Designed specifically for SUVs with a short wheelbase. The low cost makes it attractive to motorists, but numerous reviews mostly describe the stud fastening negatively. At the same time, this model has a good resource that allows you to skate several seasons on them.

Nokian Hakkapelitte SUV. The SUV tire line is designed specifically for SUVs. The main differences are a low speed index, but at the same time a high load capacity. The experience of the Finnish company has made it possible to create tires with good grip, which contributes to excellent handling.

Cooper Discoverer M S. Tires in the mid-price segment. They are good for their versatility - they show good qualities both on ice and on snow cover and mud.

Hankook Winter i-Pike W409. This tire is not entirely suitable for the Niva, since the standard tire width is 205 millimeters. However, installation of this type of tire is possible.

Bridgestone WD-10 Winter Dueler. Quite a popular option due to its price/quality characteristics. Drivers using Bridgestone note good grip on the road: both on asphalt and on ice.

It is important to remember that no good winter tires for Niva can guarantee one hundred percent safety on the road. It is necessary to adjust the specifics of driving and be prepared for emergency situations

Niva SUVs are equipped by default only with all-season tires K 156-1 from the Kirov Tire Plant

When installing tires on a car, you should pay attention to the tires of the Kama I 511 model. They are available in studded and studless versions

Wheels on the field for winter

Today there are a lot of different models on the market, so you need to pay attention to additional criteria. The main thing is the tire size, which will be discussed later.

The right choice will help the Niva to be used in mud without additional modifications.

You also need to pay attention to the load factor and speed index. If frequent driving while loaded is expected, then the first criterion is dominant, if fast driving on a well-rolled dirt road is the second one.

The heat resistance index (preservation of tire characteristics when air temperature changes) is important. There are three parameters: A, B and C, the best is marking A

Thrifty owners need to pay attention to the wear resistance index (the conditional maximum mileage value under standard conditions) - index A is also the best

Topic: Agricultural tires for Niva: what kind, where, what does it cost and is it worth it?

An overhauled Niva without an elevator with slightly trimmed arches is available. I would like to install agricultural tires, preferably 16 wheels on my family. Goal: drive with UAZ Tr-2 (military bridges, front lock, Simaks 36), or at least not be a “key fob”, forest/road driving is 90/10. Questions: 1) what agricultural tires to supply; 2) where and how much to buy; 3) what modifications are needed to the body and suspension-transmission; 4) how will all this then drive and break down? 5) is there a more humane alternative.

z.y. Previously there was a UAZ Tr-2, now a Niva, the cars are different, the appetite has not changed

Re: Agricultural tires for Niva: what kind, where, what does it cost and is it worth it?

Let's look at it: an almost standard Niva, without serious modifications, will almost always be a key fob for a UAZ with 36″ slippers and gear axles. 1) Why won’t religion allow a farmer to cut something from a highway? 2) This is a purely rhetorical question, take Yandex and fire. 3) The forum is teeming with advice, but the budget will go through the roof for the purchase of a UAZ (for such tasks), think about it, you need it, a standard Nivka is a lot and can do so, it has its advantages. 4) And this depends on you, in the literal sense, after transferring from UAZ to Niva, I broke it for the first three trips. Then he became more “annoyed” and off he went. 5) The answer logically suggests itself - UAZ on 36″ portals.

Re: Agricultural tires for Niva: what kind, where, what does it cost and is it worth it?

I trimmed the arches, worked on the wheel arches with a hammer and a grinder, and screwed in the Ya-192 (UAZOVSKIE) - an advantage over a simple UAZ - the ground clearance is the same, the weight of the Niva is less. Regarding the portal axles and 36 tires on the UAZ, in order not to be a key fob, I change to a friend in the UAZ (in front of the ambush places) and off we go, having previously locked the field (so as not to poop). Regarding reliability, thanks to this method, the third season has begun, I drive without turning anything, but the tires are heavy for the field, I’m thinking about cutting through a nickel.

Strange. I scoured some serious shit on it. We rode with my brother, so he just got stuck on the high tractor ruts, but I pass there, and my Silvers don’t leave, but the enti jump out, I follow and the figurines .. TR-2 for the light Nivka - they will go. They are 80cm in height if anything. But maybe it will be difficult for her in terms of power. We are both warriors. Seeds 32 235 16 put and that’s enough. I would like an agricultural tire for the UAZ.

the Dok , If you like the idea of ​​a Ghostbuster , then welcome here.

Selection of tires for Niva for lifting

Most Niva 4x4 owners who lifted their car regretted it, since the car was not always used for its intended purpose. They say that after the Niva 4x4 lift, cross-country ability increases. This is true, but only if large wheels were installed. On the one hand, lifted Nivas drive faster and more cheerfully than standard cars, and on the other hand, it happens that a Niva on VLI-5 easily overtakes them. Most often, car enthusiasts make a Niva lift for fishing or hunting trips. In this case, raising the car by 3-5 cm will not hurt and will only improve off-road performance. Although, opinions differ, as some believe that nothing needs to be done to the car, but for fishing and hunting you can install mud tires, and a lift is only needed to install higher tires on a Niva 4x4. Many people mistakenly believe that if you cut out the arches, the cross-country ability of the Niva 4x4 will increase, but this opinion is wrong. When lifting, the service life of the CV joint and the factory boot is reduced.

Which all-season vehicle is better for Niva?

Since Niva cars come from the factory by default only with all-season tires K 156-1 from the Kirov Tire Plant, the question of alternatives arises. Many Niva drivers prefer to choose the best rollers for the conditions in which their SUV will be used. Therefore, if you want to replace the standard with more suitable tires, advice will not be superfluous due to the abundance of choice and prices of such products.

When looking for all-season tires, you should pay attention to the following criteria:

• weather conditions of product operation;
• temperature regime;
• presence of precipitation;
• road conditions;
• using the machine for heavy loads.

For the eldest of the Niv 2121 family, lighter tires are preferable due to lower power. Niva 21213 is equipped with a more powerful engine and a 5-speed gearbox. Larger sneakers are suitable for it - 205/70/R15, or Kama 232. The differences between 2121 and 2131 are that the latter has an injector and 21213 from 21214 too. This will not significantly affect the choice of shoes.

Summer tire Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 - 4 points. Tires and wheels 4 points – Wheels & Tires

Footwear for a car should be selected depending on the operating conditions. Obviously, stock tires are an average choice and, if requirements are increased, they need to be replaced

It is best to pay attention to the markings to understand which tires are the best.

If you often have to drive on asphalt, rarely turning off the road, then it is better to take wheels marked A/T (all-terrain). But such all-terrain tires are universal and lose to mud tires.

The latter are always marked M/T, but they come in different types. The inscription M/T Lite denotes a lightweight version with medium-depth checkers and a small pattern. The Classic version is an average option, and the Extreme type is suitable for lovers of serious off-roading.

VAZ 2121

If we are talking about a standard three-door Niva model, then the inexpensive Ya-569 Bear would be a good choice. A classic tire costs about 4 thousand rubles, does not tan in the cold and copes well with snowy surfaces.

Niva 21213

There are good budget tires for this model - Cordiant Off-Road. Despite the low price, it provides good performance on almost any surface. When driving on asphalt, it does not wear out, does not harden in the cold, and in deep mud it provides good grip.

Chevy Niva

The joint model of Russian-Korean production does not have such off-road skills, but an option such as the Bridgestone Dueler D673 is perfect for it. They combine good grip and properties with a stylish design with beautiful white lettering on the sides.

Niva Comforcer

A good option is BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain. It is a universal choice for road traffic, as well as for fishing or hunting trips. An excellent safety margin, a developed tread and a good cleaning system allow you to feel confident in any situation.

Tire pressure of tractors T-25 and MTZ-82

Private household farms often use small-sized agricultural machinery, which is very convenient for plowing a small field, treating crops against pests, watering and, accordingly, harvesting crops. Of course, when purchasing a tractor like T-25 or MTZ-82, a farmer receives the entire apparatus assembled and ready for work, however, to work with it, it is necessary to constantly monitor the condition of the engine, oil level, and tire pressure on the mini tractor R14...R38 , depending on the perceived load and operating mode of the equipment, in particular:

Tires for UAZ FBel-160

Selection of tires for non-standard wheel sizes

For 15 inch wheels the choice of tires is much larger than for 16 inch ones. According to reviews from Niva 4×4 drivers, the YOKOHAMA 215 r16 (summer tire) model is in demand. These are budget and reliable tires that are suitable for both asphalt and off-road.

They are installed without unnecessary manipulations with the car, that is, lifting is not needed. Although, for tires on 16-inch wheels, lifting is still required. Moreover, whether to install such wheels or not can be decided by answering the question “Is everything okay with the car’s ride?” and if so, then, of course, it is possible. According to reviews of the Niva 4×4 with this tire model, the car drives smoothly and there are no potholes felt. The downside is that the tread on this model is wide and collects all the small stones on the road. The price is in the range of 4700-5000 rubles.

The following tire models are suitable for winter: Nokian Nordman 5 (Finland), Hakkapeliitta 7 and 8. Hakkapeliitta is more expensive than Nordman, but in general both models exceed the price tag of 5,000 thousand rubles.

The Russian manufacturer Cordiant offers a cheaper model for 3,500 rubles. Tires from foreign manufacturers are much more expensive and are not always available in stores. If you only drive in the city, then it is better to buy Kama I-511 tires, and the price is around 3,400 rubles apiece.

Recommendations for replacing tires

If we compare tires that are used on hard surfaces, agricultural tires stand out as the most wear-resistant and have a design that is more resistant to loads in different directions. Always consider how and where your agricultural machinery will be used, in what weather, on what soil and under what load.

If you find it difficult to choose or need help finding agricultural tires? Contact our company consultants. We not only produce similar products ourselves, we are experts in this field since 1995!

In addition to retail, you can buy tires wholesale on favorable terms!

Winter tires for Niva 4×4

The best choice would be studded tires. The Niva is an SUV with a short wheelbase and therefore skids easily. In this case, the spikes will provide the necessary grip on the road. In addition, spikes will be the best choice for moving on snowy surfaces.

If necessary, on a classic Lada 4x4 you can use wheels from a Chevrolet Niva. They have the same wheel bolt pattern, so there will be no problems installing such rims. But such a modernization will allow the use of wheels with different offset and width parameters.

Voltyre VLI5 or VLI10. The most affordable types of tires. They are only suitable if you need to skate for one season, but you don’t want to spend too much money.

Kama 511. According to test results, it shows good grip on snow. The rubber is Russian-made, but despite this it is not entirely suitable for mud, as it tends to dig in.

Kumho Road Venture. These tires show good results in all types of tests, but at the same time their cost is quite high, and the purchase can hit your pocket quite hard.

Nokian Hakkapelitte SUV. The SUV tire line is designed specifically for SUVs. The main differences are a low speed index, but at the same time a high load capacity. The experience of the Finnish company has made it possible to create tires with good grip, which contributes to excellent handling.

Hankook Winter i-Pike W409. This tire is not entirely suitable for the Niva, since the standard tire width is 205 millimeters. However, installation of this type of tire is possible.

Bridgestone WD-10 Winter Dueler. Quite a popular option due to its price/quality characteristics. Drivers using Bridgestone note good grip on the road: both on asphalt and on ice.

It is important to remember that no good winter tires for Niva can guarantee one hundred percent safety on the road. It is necessary to adjust the specifics of driving and be prepared for emergency situations

When choosing tires, you need to pay attention to technical parameters: speed index and maximum load, as well as diameter and width. Let's focus on the foreign model of winter tires - Toyo Taiers 215 x 65 x 16, since the most positive reviews are about it. The manufacturer of these winter tires is Japan

The size of components with a diameter of r16 on wheels 15 gives the Niva 4x4 car stability in winter. These winter tires for your car have a regular tread.

Let's focus on the foreign model of winter tires - Toyo Taiers 215 x 65 x 16, since the most positive reviews are about it. The manufacturer of these winter tires is Japan. The size of components with a diameter of r16 on wheels 15 gives the Niva 4x4 car stability in winter. These winter tires for your car have a regular tread.

Tires last for at least three seasons, or even more. On the plus side: the tires behave confidently on ice, but on the minus side: on wet snow the car starts to slip. One can argue that you should use only manufacturer's tires on Niva 4x4, however, car enthusiasts complain that winter tires manufactured by the manufacturer are not safe on the road. The Toyo Taiers 215x 65x16 model during operation does not affect the amount of fuel consumed by the car.

If your budget allows, then, of course, it is better to buy winter tires from foreign manufacturers. However, among domestic ones there are popular models: Cordiant, Kama, Amtel, Rosava and Belshina (the last two models of tires from a Ukrainian manufacturer and a Belarusian one).

Kumho I'Zen KW22

Another modern model of winter tires Kumho I'Zen KW22 for Niva 4x4, made in China. Winter tires have a universal tread; the car performs well on both ice and snow. This is inexpensive for Niva 4x4 winter tires. The cost is 2990-3600 rubles depending on the size of the product. For example, for 15-inch tires, a Niva 4x4 car owner will pay an average of 2,900 rubles.

In any case, before purchasing winter tires for Niva 4x4, you should carefully study the manufacturer and read about it on the forums.

When choosing tires for the winter, use the table above. In addition, it is allowed to use winter tires (MS) of the above dimensions and index Q with a corresponding limitation of the maximum vehicle speed (up to 160 km/h).

Choose winter tires on your Lada 4×4 that are as narrow as possible so that the pressure of the car on the surface is greater, this will improve traction. Also remember that wide tires are more sensitive to the ruts on the road.

The most effective tires for off-road driving on the Niva

The most effective options for off-road wheels for the Niva are the following models:

• Ya-569 Medved is a budget-class model made in Russia; the price of these tires starts from 3,700 rubles*. Installation does not require adjusting the arches to the tire size. This tire is quite suitable for winter conditions: it is quite soft in the cold and performs well in the snow. The tires of this model pass ice and summer asphalt quite poorly, showing poor handling. Available in a single standard size 235/75 R15;
• Cordiant off Road are also domestically produced M/T tires. It can be used both on asphalt and off-road. Cost per unit from 4000 rubles*. These tires tolerate asphalt well. Available in standard size 225/75 with dimensions R16-R15;
• Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 M/T tires, produced in size 235/75 R15, prices start from 4,500 rubles*. For installation on the Niva, a 5 cm mini-lift is used.

Interco TSL Tire Series

A series of tires, including radial and bias-ply versions, as well as modifications with a particularly reinforced SX sidewall. They are mainly intended for rock crawling, but we have used them quite successfully in any conditions. They love low pressure and special discs. They balance poorly and wear out quickly on asphalt, although in terms of comfort and compared to the Bogger, any TSL tire is simply a road tire. The TSL Radial is understandably more versatile.

Wide range of sizes, same as Bogger, from 31 to 50 inches. The cost of 36×12.50-15LT is about 25,000 rubles. for the tire.
