Какую резину поставить зимой на ниву: какая лучше, шипованные колеса на Ниву 4х4 16 радиус

Резина на Ниву — какую поставить: шины 4х4, МТ, АТ, медведь, Вли-5, Ласса ОК-144

Резина на Ниву должна соответствовать большому числу критериев, ведь речь идет о езде в довольно сложных условиях. Выбирая её, автовладелец не может себе позволить упустить ни одной детали. Но даже если он ограничен бюджетом — всегда найдётся достойная альтернатива заводской комплектации, которая будет подходить под его требования.

Какая резина стоит на Ниве с завода

ВАЗ 2121 (в кузовах 21213 и 21214) Нива и ВАЗ 2131, носящие сегодня официальные наименования Лада 4х4 и Лада 4х4 5D соответственно — до сих пор занимают лидирующие позиции на российском рынке внедорожников. Их популярность во многом основана на сочетании стойкости, цены и возможности усовершенствования заводской комплектации, в том числе относительно колёс.

В стандартной нивовской комплектации устанавливается авторезина марки ВлИ-5 диаметром R16. Родные покрышки для всех модификаций, кроме «Урбан», а также собранного на основе Нивы внедорожника АПАЛ-21541 «Сталкер» имеют типоразмер 175 на 80. Типоразмер 185 на 75 предназначен для модификации «Urban».

Причина, по которой автовладельцы часто меняют оригинальные колёса экземпляров со стока — большое количество недостатков:

• повышенная шумность при достижении скорости 60 километров/час на твёрдом покрытии;
• потеря эластичности резины в холодное время года;
• наличие камеры, сокращающей срок службы покрышек;
• проблемы с управляемостью на трассе.

Конечно, у заводских шин есть и плюсы, которые хорошо заметны даже на фото. Они предназначены в первую очередь для прохождения бездорожья, грязевого и глинистого покрытия, с чем неплохо справляются.

Какая резина подходит на Ниву под штатный и нештатный размер колеса

Для того, чтобы поставить новые покрышки на Ниву, стоит внимательно изучить параметры штатных колёс, устанавливаемых на заводе. Для понимания встанет или нет шина новой марки на колёса фабричного размера, обращают первоочередное внимание на следующие надписи:

1. 5J
2. R16
3. h3-ET = 58;
4. DIA = 98;
5. PCD = 5×139,7.

Все эти обозначения касаются важных характеристик. Так, первое свидетельствует о том, что допустимый размер шин составляет 5 дюймов с максимальным отклонением в 1 дюйм в любую сторону. Буква J свидетельсвует о наличии только одного бортика.

Следующий параметр свидетельствует о диаметре, который не должен превышать 16 дюймов. h3 говорит о наличии двух колец-хантов по краям обода, необходимых для плотной фиксации покрышки на диске. Ханты — обязательный элемент для внедорожников.

Параметр ЕТ обозначает вылет колеса (в данном случае 58 см) с допустимым отклонением на 1 сантиметр. Ну а DIA указывает на радиус. Маркировка PCD обозначает разболтовку: то есть число отверстий для крепёжных болтов с расстоянием между ними.

Таким образом, можно констатировать, что под штатный размер колёс спокойно подойдёт резина 27-28 дюймов. А вот для установки чаще встречающейся на зарубежных моделях резины 29 дюймов, считающейся оптимальным решением у производителей внедорожников, понадобится незначительный, но лифт — просто так она не влезет.

Лифтованная Нива, рассчитанная на установку покрышек 30, 31, а тем более 32, 33 дм потребует и больших по размеру дисков. Последний размер колеса — максимальный. 35-дюймовые считаются для этого авто слишком большими. В случае подобных переделок желательно установить крепления-бэдлоки. Важно не ставить слишком тяжёлые диски, иначе стоит ожидать деформаций при попадании на ухабы. Взять большие колёса имеет смысл лишь в том случае, если предполагается эксплуатация авто только за городом.

Какая резина лучше для Нивы по сезонам

Лада 4х4 — это автомобиль, требующий тщательного выбора шин, ведь он служит в экстремальных условиях. Предпочтение того или иного варианта должно зависеть не только от того, насколько он бюджетный, но и действительно ли это лучшая резина для конкретного сезона или типа покрытия. Важно учитывать все характеристики колёс:

• зимних;
• всесезонных;
• грязевых.

Это позволит не тратить лишние деньги.

Летние шины

Строго летние автошины для Нивы — не очень часто явление. В большинстве случаев это стандартные легковые колёса соответствующих параметров, которые используют для езды по асфальтированным дорогам. На эту роль подходят и заводские ВЛИ-5.

Зимние шины

Нива — внедорожник, поэтому логичным выбором зимней резины для неё считается зубастая. Хотя иногда ставят и липучки, но всё же у них другая функция, лучше всего они себя показывают в городских условиях.

Для езды по снежной трассе производитель по умолчанию комплектует автомобиль узкими и высокими покрышками диаметром 16 дюймов. Найти по-настоящему качественную резину с параметрами 18575R16 по доступной цене не так уж просто. Обычно в стоковой комплектации владельца Нивы ждут два варианта: Волтайр ВЛИ-5 или ВЛИ-10. Они дешёвые, но отличаются такими недостатками как задубение резины и короткий срок службы. На таких колёсах по тайге не поездишь.

Альтернатива штатной комплектации — многочисленное семейство 15-дюймовых покрышек. В частности, без лифтинга легко ставятся шипы с параметрами 19570 и 20570 при R15. Каталоги заводов-производителей могут похвастать большим ассортиментом продукции подобного типа. Подробно о них можно узнать на видео.

Универсальные шины

Универсальные или всесезонные шины используют для езды в любое время года и по всем типам дорожного покрытия. Но поскольку создать одинаково хорошую резину, подходящую для шоссейной езды и для вездехода сложно, то большинство производителей всё равно делают упор на те или иные качества колёс. Такая резина делается пятаковой, то есть  довольно больших размеров.

Грязевые шины

Большинство автовладельцев покупают Ладу 4х4 для езды за городом, по бездорожью. А это значит, что она должна быть достаточно проходимой в грязи. Что и призвана обеспечить специальная вездеходовская резина.

Есть специальные модели, чья проходимость позволяет им пройти по любому бездорожью. Подобные профессиональные колёса относят к категории «экстрим». Экстремальные покрышки способны преодолеть самые трудные условия оффроуда, включая болота. Но они имеют большие размеры, что требует лифтинга и дорого стоят.

Вырезать арки потребуется и для установки сельхоз колёс от Белки, но стоит резина от трактора на порядок дешевле, имея приличную проходимость. Но есть и специальная злая зубатка, дающая возможность преодолевать грязь без сильного апгрейда авто.

Какие шины выбрать для Нивы

Выбирая колёса учитывают не только то насколько они дешёвые, но и соответствие условиям эксплуатации и климату. Скажем, низкопрофильные широкие колёса АТ хорошо подходят для всех типов покрытия, в то время как узкая хороша для твёрдого покрытия. Для внедорожной езды при стандартных климатических условиях хорошо подходят шины Пирелли Скорпион, а вот в более холодном климате лучше Радиал.

В местности с большим количеством грязи подойдёт стандартная тракторная ёлочка, которую давно ставят на Газели. Правда это не колёса для низкой «колхозницы» — её придётся модифицировать. Для этого можно подрезать арки.

Ну а самых стойких шин требуют автомобили, эксплуатируемые на Крайнем Севере.

Шины для Нивы по производителям

Владелец Нивы может выбирать из довольно обширного перечня лучших шин разных типов и ценовых категорий. Это отечественные колёса производства Нижнекамского, Кировского, Барнаульского, Алтайского, Волжского (Вольтури) заводов. А также зарубежные, включая китайские Сталкеры. Многое зависит от модификации, на которую планируют устанавливать колёса — 3Д, Бронто, Урбан или какая-то другая.

Шины производства Белшина изначально предназначены для сельскохозяйственной техники, поэтому их ставят только на лифтованные машины. На них же устанавливают покрышки категории «экстрим», имеющие размер в 30 и больше дюймов, а также те, что предназначены для УАЗа. Колёса на УАЗ производят российские заводы.

Тест шин для Нивы

Шины для Лады 4х4 тестируют так же, как и для других внедорожников, изучая управляемость, сцепление и разгон в разных условиях. Их гоняют по бездорожью, грязи, но также и по трассе с твёрдым покрытием для выявления лучших моделей.

Отзывы владельцев

Виталий, 35 лет:

Я фермер и постоянно езжу на своей Ниве по непролазной грязи, особенно весной и осенью. Моим выбором стали шины Бонтайр Сталкер и они меня ни разу не подвели уже три сезона.

Антон, 28 лет:

Нивой обзавёлся недавно. Долго ломал голову над правильными колёсами и в итоге остановил выбор на отечественных всесезонках АТ. Правда, большего размера, для чего сделал лифт.

90000 Should I Inflate My Tires in Cold Weather 90001 90002 90003 Yes, you typically need to inflate your tires in cold weather. As we’ll explain, low temperatures often mean low tire pressure, and low tire pressure could mean dangerous driving. 90004 90002 With the promise of holiday travel up ahead, it’s time to prepare! Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help you drive safer with a quick lesson on cold weather and tire pressure. 90004 90007 How Cold Weather Affects Tire Pressure 90008 90002 First, a quick science lesson: when the temperature drops, molecules in the air move slower and huddle together.When the temperature increases, molecules move faster and farther away from one another! 90004 90011 90012 90002 You can test this concept for yourself. Just set a basketball outside and wait! The ball will deflate in the cold morning air, then re-inflate in the heat of the afternoon. 90004 90002 When this concept plays out inside your tires, it can affect your tire pressure. 90004 90002 That’s because tires lose or gain 1-2 pounds per square inch (PSI) for every 10 ℉ change in temperature.So theoretically, your tires could lose 4 PSI over the weekend if the temperature drops by 20 ℉! 90004 90002 While your tire pressure should bounce back after the cold spell passes (assuming it 90020 does 90021 pass and your tires have no leaks or holes), low tire pressure should not be ignored. 90004 90002 Low tire pressure can lead to: 90004 90025 90026 90027 Increased stopping time: 90028 Underinflated tires can increase braking time and skid more easily on wet pavement. 90029 90026 90027 Poor fuel economy: 90028 Underinflated tires can lower gas mileage by about 0.2% for every 1 PSI drop in the average pressure of all tires, notes the U.S. Department of Energy. 90029 90026 90027 Decreased tire lifespan: 90028 Underinflation can decrease the lifespan of your tires and make them more vulnerable to damage-all leading to you having to buy more tires, more often. 90029 90038 90007 How to Check Tire Pressure 90008 90002 A small decrease in tire pressure is hard for the naked eye to detect, but it can still have a big impact on your driving. Tires can lose pressure even when temperatures remain constant over the winter.To be safe, we recommend checking tire pressure every other time you visit the pump, and especially when your TPMS light pops on. 90004 90002 Here’s how: 90004 90045 1. Find your recommended tire pressure. 90046 90002 You can find it written in your owner’s manual or on a sticker attached to your door edge, glove box, or fuel hatch. Recommended tire pressure usually falls between 30-35 PSI. If you’re not sure, try our recommended tire pressure tool. 90004 90045 2. Check your tires before driving.90046 90002 Measure your tire pressure 90020 before 90021 driving, not after, for the most accurate reading. If your recommended tire pressure is 32 PSI, that means 32 PSI before you put rubber to the road. 90004 90045 3. Get out your tire pressure gauge. 90046 90002 Tire pressure gauges can be purchased for a few dollars at most big box retailers. «Pencil» style gauges are cheapest and have a little stick that pops out with the tire pressure reading. Digital tire pressure gauges are a bit more expensive but are extremely easy to use.90004 90045 4. Unscrew the valve stem cap on a tire. 90046 90002 This is the little black or silver screw-cap on your tire’s rim. It should be plainly visible from the outside of your car. 90004 90045 5. Attach the tire pressure gauge to the valve stem. 90046 90002 Follow the instructions that come with your tire pressure gauge. If there’s a hissing sound when you insert the gauge, it may not be properly aligned. Re-adjust the angle of the gauge until the hissing stops. What’s your tire pressure? Do your tires need to be inflated? 90004 90045 6.Replace the valve stem cap. 90046 90002 Repeat the process for each tire and note your tire pressure readings. 90004 90045 7. Inflate your tires, if needed. 90046 90002 There’s a good chance you’ll need to inflate your tires in winter at least once. If your tire pressure is low, find your nearest air pump. Add air until you reach your recommended tire pressure, or visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and we’ll inflate your tires for you. 90004 90002 If you need help with any of these steps, please do not hesitate to stop by a local Firestone Complete Auto Care.Summer or winter, sunshine or snow-our knowledgeable technicians will check the health of your tires, inflate them to the recommended pressure, and guide you in buying new tires if yours show an alarming degree of wear. 90004.90000 We put BMW run-flat tires to the test and give them a thumbs-down 90001 90002 We recently had an unplanned opportunity to put run flat tires to the test. Our impromptu test vehicle was a 2013 BMW X3 xDrive 28i crossover. During a Sunday trip to a park we had a puncture that gave us the chance to see how a run flat preforms while driving deflated, as well as explore the repair / replacement options and see how they might compare to other road hazard management options like a full size spare or temporary spare.We learned quite a bit from the experience and hope you find this information helpful if you’re considering a vehicle with run-flat tires. 90003 90002 We first noticed the flat when we re-entered the vehicle because the car told us the front left tire was low via the information screen. A system like this is now government-mandated on all modern cars. Hoping it was just low, and not completely flat, we looked at it closely and could see it was definitely flat. Moving the car slowly with the window down resulted in the crunchy sound of a flat tire and the feeling was noticeably wiggly and sloppy.The sound was so much of a concern we opted to call 90005 BMW 90006 via the car’s SOS button. After reading, re-reading, and then re-reading the VIN about 6 times to the BMW representative after they already knew us from our name and model number, not to mention the account we called from (frustrating), the person at the other end told us to ignore the sounds and feelings and drive it under 50 miles, and under 50 miles per hour, to wherever we wanted to go. She said as long as we did not smell burning rubber not to worry.Off we went. 90003 90002 90009 Run flat tires 90010 work by using a much more robust sidewall construction. The stiffer sidewall is able to support the uninflated tire temporarily. However, driving on the tire without air pressure destroys it. In their marketing, makers of run flats try to compare older tire technology to their new, lower-profile tires with the stiffened sidewalls, and claim some safety benefits. We are skeptical. Blow-outs and complete tire failures on new, lower-profile, modern tires (not run-flats) are extremely rare.90003 90002 90009 Update 90010 — Read What J.D. Power and Associates found out about Run Flat Customer Satisfaction and replacement frequency — Added March 27, 2015 90003 90002 My passenger input a Nav course home (14 miles) that did not use freeways. The excellent BMW Nav system made this pretty easy to do, although we did have to wait a few minutes while it would only display a warning message about the tire. As we drove, my passenger also called the BMW dealership the car is serviced at.To its credit the dealership did answer, but since it was Sunday, they could not help us in any way. Take note of that. Next, my passenger looked up the local tire place she services her Honda Fit. It was also closed. We looked for a third place along our route home, also closed. Our plan became, «let’s get it home and then deal with the issue Monday morning.» 90003 90002 90009 Driving BMW On a Run-Flat Tire 90010 90021 The feel while driving the BMW X3 xDrive 28i crossover with the deflated run-flat was just what one might expect.Sloppy, pulling to the side of the flat, and pretty apparent something major was up. It would be very hard to ignore this even if the dash was not constantly telling us about the issue. We looked in the owner’s manual, which is the size of three Korans, and in the section under flat tires, it had a note about the 50/50 miles driving, and that was pretty much it. I mainly wanted to know if I should try to re-inflate the tire. I figured that would help, but I wanted to also make sure it would not cause a rupture of the sidewall.I saw a gas station with an air hose and pulled in. I checked the pressure and it was «0.» I pumped it up to 45 psi. Driving off the car felt dramatically better, but still slightly odd. 4 miles later we were again flat. I found a second station with a lousy air hose and put in about 20 psi. Again it felt better than flat. 90003 90002 The 90003.90000 Why Is Sand or Salt Put On Roads When It Snows? 90001 90002 If you live somewhere that gets snow and ice in the winter, you’ve likely enjoyed a «snow day» off from school when snow and ice made the roads too dangerous for driving. 90003 90002 As your city works to clear snow and ice from the roads, you may have noticed trucks spilling salt or sand on the road. That’s no accident! It’s all part of the plan. 90003 90002 In warm water, molecules move quickly and freely, making liquids fluid and able to adapt to any shape of container you pour them into.As water freezes, though, molecules begin to move more slowly. Eventually the molecules begin sticking together to form ice in a process we call freezing. 90003 90002 When you put salt on ice, liquid water molecules that have not yet frozen on the surface of the ice dissolve a bit of the salt, creating a saltwater solution called «brine.» The brine prevents the liquid water molecules from freezing. 90003 90002 As more water molecules begin to speed up and break free from the ice, they turn into liquid and dissolve even more of the salt.90003 90002 Why does this happen? Salt lowers the freezing point of water. Ice forms when water is cooled to 32 ° F (0 ° C). When you add salt to water, the freezing point drops. 90003 90002 If you add a 10-percent salt solution, the freezing point drops to 20 ° F. A 20-percent salt solution freezes at 2 ° F. 90003 90002 If you have ever sprinkled salt on your icy front porch steps, you already know you can watch this process in action. When you sprinkle salt on ice, you will notice that it begins to dissolve immediately around each grain of salt.90003 90002 This melting continues to spread, until you are left with salt grains on the porch steps. With the ice gone, the salt also provides traction, making it safer for visitors to come to your front door. 90003 90002 Unfortunately, if temperatures dip below approximately 15 ° F, salt may not get the job done. Salt needs water to begin the melting process. 90003 90002 If all the water is frozen solid, it can not get into the ice structure to start the melting. When this happens, workers often turn to sand instead.90003 90002 Many people believe that sand and salt are used for the same purpose — to melt the ice. But they’re wrong! 90003 90002 While workers use salt to melt ice, they rely on sand for improved traction. Sand crystals increase friction and help prevent vehicle tires from slipping on slick roads, making travel easier for drivers. 90003 90002 Sand can also help prevent new ice from forming on roads. Imagine each grain of sand as a tiny little ball. In each scoop of sand, there are millions of balls constantly in motion.Each time a car drives over them or the wind blows, the grains move around. 90003 90002 The movement of the sand grains makes it difficult for water molecules to stick together and form ice. Although sand may not entirely prevent ice from forming, its constant motion makes it difficult for ice to build up as quickly as it can on untreated roads. 90003 .90000 2º NB-A: FILE TEST 5 REVIEW 90001 Here you have two tests to review Unit 5. 90002 The key is below the tests. 90002 Have a nice day! 🙂 90004 90005 FILE TEST 5 A 90006 90002 90005 90002 90006 90011 90005 1 90013 Underline 90014 the correct word (s). 90006 Example: I’m 90005 much / little / 90013 too 90014 90006 tired to go out. 1 Do your children eat a 90005 little / lot of / many 90006 sweets? 2 There’s too 90005 much 90006/90005 few 90006/90005 many 90006 salt in this soup.3 He usually has a 90005 few 90006/90005 little 90006/90005 enough 90006 sugar in his coffee. 4 We have 90005 too many 90006/90005 too 90006/90005 too 90006 90005 much 90006 money.
