Using the automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car Daewoo Matiz , you can avoid many problems related to their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of car manufacturers. After all, these components have a huge impact on a number of performance characteristics vehicle, ranging from handling and ending with dynamic qualities. In addition, one cannot fail to note the importance of tires and rims as elements active safety. That is why it is extremely important to approach their choice very responsibly, using rather specific knowledge about these products for this.

Unfortunately, or, conversely, fortunately, a significant part of motorists prefer not to study technical device own car thoroughly. Fully automatic system selection in this case is perhaps the only way to avoid the wrong choice when buying tires and rims. And it is very wide, which is due to the diversity of the range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

Permissible Matiz tire size, defined by the Operation Manual, is 145/70R13 And 155/65R13. It should be said that any factory equipment of Matiz is equipped with 155/65 R13 tires, and 145/70 R13 is the size approved by the manufacturer, in which mainly winter tires are made for Matiz.

To begin with, let's figure out what all these mysterious 155 65 r13 or 145 70 r13 and other technical indexes. In fact, everything is simple here, such indices are used to designate absolutely any car tire. Here is what these numbers mean, for example:

Tires 155/65/R13(often written simply 155 65 r13)

155 - tire width, that is, the distance between the outer sides of the side surface of the tire in the inflated state.

65 - the height of the tire profile. ATTENTION! It is indicated not in millimeters (as is often thought) but as a percentage of the tire width. In our example, the height of the tire profile is 65% of the width (if you are too lazy to calculate it yourself, I report: 100.75 mm for the 155/65 r13 shown in the example) As well as if we take the 145 70 r13 tire as an example, the height will be 70% of width or 101.5 mm - thus, the profile height of these tires is almost the same.

Letter R is not a radius rim(as you might think, remembering the school geometry course) and the designation of the radial arrangement of the cord in the tire. For the curious, the radial arrangement of the cord is along the surface of the tire without overlapping cord threads. All modern tires are usually radial, but in some places there are still diagonal ones with the “D” index, and if you can find tires for Matiz with the “D” index somewhere and sometime, be sure to inform our editors about this miracle.

But the tire radius is indicated by the last digit - 13 . This value is indicated in inches, again, for the curious, I remind you that one inch is 25.4 mm, and for those who are too lazy to count, I give the landing size of Matiz tires in centimeters - 33 cm.

So, we figured out the tire indices. Back to standard sizes Matiz tires recommended by the manufacturer - 145/70R13 And 155/65R13. Of course, we recommend installing them, the manufacturer will not advise bad, and problems with warranty repair there will be no car. (Well, in any case, there will be no reason for the service to refuse you on this basis.) In addition, the use of tires of the recommended size guarantees maximum safety and comfort. And these tires are good for everyone, they are produced both in winter and summer versions - but a very rare position in stores, wholesalers and even online stores. The size is slow, often you have to order with an advance payment and wait for delivery - in a word, troublesome. How to be?

Everything is not so sad, because there is tires for matiz atypical size, found much more often! We are talking about the well-known to many experienced "matizovodam" 155/70 R13 which is used very often as a regular one. A feature of the size 155 70 r13 is a slightly larger (literally 8 mm) profile height with the same width as 155/65. This difference is not noticeable at all, the friction on the fender liner is minimal and is possible only at the extreme position of the steering wheel. It should be noted that many service centers are quite calm about installing 155 70 r13, but it is better to discuss this issue with the service center in advance.

Finally, tires for matiz may have a non-standard size 165/65 R13- this option will also fit on standard wheels, the friction on the lockers is very small and also only at the extreme position of the steering wheel. This tire is an inch wider than stock 155/65 R13 but it will function just fine.

But use the size 165/70 R13 as a tire on the Matiz, although it is possible, it is not recommended - they, in principle, get on standard wheels, but only if fender liner is not installed on the car.

That seems to be all about what sizes it happens tires for matiz.

Finally, in good tradition, here are some practical advice about how to choose tires for Matiz based on the experience of the author, and, of course, from common sense:

1. Try to find the size of Matiz tires recommended by the manufacturer, namely 155/65 R13 or 145/70 R13. The use of these tires will never raise questions from warranty car services, but the use of custom sizes tires can serve as a reason (albeit formal) for refusing warranty repairs.
2. If the search for the recommended size has not been successful, install 155/70 R13 - they fit perfectly on standard wheels with or without lockers (wing fenders). In addition, the clearance of the car will be almost a centimeter higher - a trifle, but nice.
3. And if you couldn’t find either 155 65 r13, or 145 70 r13, or 155 70 r13 at all, you should think about 165 65 r13, but only as an extreme option.
4. In any case, if you are going to install a non-standard tire size, and the car is under warranty, coordinate this with the dealer.
5. Remember the rules for using rubber provided by the traffic rules: all tires must be of the same size, either summer or winter (and not so studded in front 155 70 r13, but on rear wheels- one summer 155 65 r13 from the factory kit and one 165 65 r13 supplied as a spare instead of a punctured tire - this is a sure way to an accident). Of course, the rubber on the Matiz is almost all radial, so the issue of compatibility with the diagonal is not relevant.
6. In general, try to change tires in sets, uniform tire wear is good for your safety.
7. For the most forgetful, below we publish a useful cheat sheet that you can print and bring to the store with it.

"Crib" on tires Daewoo Matiz:

Rubber for Matiz

Matiz standard tire size:

155/65R13(wide, will be better for summer)

145/70R13(narrow, will be better for winter)

Daewoo Matiz alternative tire size:

155/70 R13(placed on standard wheels, slightly higher than the standard one)

165/65 R13(installed on standard wheels, slightly wider and higher than standard)

165/70 R13(extreme option, placed on regular wheels without wheel arch liners)

The inconspicuous mini-car Daewoo Matiz has firmly registered on the streets of both small towns and cities of many thousands. Compact, economical, inexpensive - these are the main components of its success with domestic motorists, especially women. All the positive factors of this machine are even more revealed with proper care.

Prevention of technical inspection is not only a timely change of oil and filter elements. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of tires, because this is one of the main details responsible for the safety of not only the owner, but also other road users. So the question is which one to choose. tires for matiz, is very relevant, moreover, at any time of the year.

Choosing wheels for Daewoo Matiz

Most of the reviews speak of the unsatisfactory quality of the discs that are standard on machines at the factory. This is due to their poor deformation resistance due to the use of insufficiently hard metal.

Parameters of the factory disk 4,5x13 ET45:

• diameter - 13 inches;
• width - 14.5 inches;
• hub diameter - 69.1 mm;
• disc offset - 45 mm;
• fastening bolts - 4 pcs.;
• the distance between the bolts is 114.3 mm.

The last two digits should be considered first when choosing a replacement. The most suitable disc replacement options:

• 5.5x14ET38;
• 6x14ET35;
• 5.5x13 ET38.

The use of other types is associated with the need constructive changes chassis. A good option is the installation of cast alloy wheels, but it can crack when going through a decent hole. best quality branded products differ, but they will cost accordingly.

Typical tires for a Daewoo Matiz car and their parameters

The minicar is available in three trim levels, so the types of tires that the factory supplies to it are somewhat different:

• package M - 145/70 R13;
• package MX and Best - 155/65 R13.

The first type of tires is one of the most affordable price category, it is for this reason that it is installed on the initial model in the line. At the same time, finding a similar size for sale is very difficult. In addition, 145 tires have a number of negative properties:

• reduced ground clearance;
• unsatisfactory exterior;
• poor vehicle handling.

For domestic roads, this is clearly a bad choice, all coating defects are transmitted to the body with little or no damping. In this case, it remains to resort to more wide tires on Daewoo Matiz, which will give a certain result in improving technical indicators cars.

Before you start choosing the right tire, you should know what the symbols 145/70 R13 mean:

• 145 - tire width in mm;
• 70 - tire height as a percentage of its width;
• R13 is the disk size.

Alternative replacement

It is possible to install non-standard tire sizes:

• 165/65R13;
• 165/70R13;
• 175/60R13;
• 185/50R14.

The list can include tires with the index 155/65 R13, which will easily take the place of the standard 145th. The fenders will not interfere with its free rotation. A clearance of 1.5 cm will also be added, which is quite significant for a “baby”.

This cannot be said about 165/70 R13, these tires depend on the offset of the disc and will touch the fender liner, and when driving in wet snow, they can completely block the wheel. You will have to remove them, but even such a measure will not save the front wheels from rubbing against the wheel arch when turning.

Using atypical tires on Matiz, albeit slightly, but affects the increase:

• fuel consumption;
• suspension loads;
• motor operating mode;
• load on the braking system.

Thus, the conclusion suggests itself - the most suitable replacement for regular tires is 155/65 R13 and 165/65 R13.

When buying tires, many motorists are wondering what their specifications are depending on the season. On this basis, tires are divided into:

• winter;
• summer;
• all-weather;
• off-road;
• rain.

Some choose an all-weather version of rubber in order to save money, because, in principle, you can ride it in any weather. But this is an erroneous opinion, in summer such tires are still acceptable, but in winter their qualities do not fully justify themselves. Therefore, for your own safety, it is better to choose "shoes" for the season.

Daewoo Matiz

Cars come off the assembly line wearing new tires. The manufacturer of the machines indicates the characteristics of the original tires for the model. Information is read from the tire marking, applied in the form of letters and numbers on the side surface of the tire.

About how to correctly find the original OE dimensions, speed index, load and other parameters for Daewoo cars Matiz read below.

Tire marking

Probably, each of the motorists knows the car and can easily say how many inches the diameter of the wheels is. A reliable source of information is the car's service manual, which lists the recommended tire sizes.

Here is the marking and decoding of the inscriptions on the tire.

Note! R15 is not a wheel radius, as some mistakenly think. R is the radial construction of the cord, while the number 15 is the diameter of the rim in mm. Accordingly, the diameter of the disk for the tire will also be 15 inches. As you can see, the bus is full of information for the right choice.

Choosing a tire according to the original is perhaps the right way to choose a size, pick up the speed and load index recommended by the factory. Preference, of course, is given to branded tires, but they, as a rule, are more expensive.

Tire selection table for Daewoo Matiz 1.Oi and 0.8.Oi.

For late models, there are 2 choices - 13 and 14-inch tires.

How to choose tires for Daewoo Matiz

Knowing the original tire sizes, as well as cargo and speed indices, go to the store. We read the information from the sidewall of the tire, see the figure above. For example, you need summer tires for Daewoo Matiz 2015 1.0i. Take the original data from the table.

Driving safety is influenced by the choice of tread pattern: symmetrical universal, symmetrical directional used by most drivers, and asymmetric for active drivers. With symmetrical tires, the tread grooves divert water from the contact area with the roadway, so a quiet ride at a speed of 60-80 km / h guarantees safe driving on wet asphalt and a short braking distance.

The asymmetric pattern has different direction of grooves on the inner and outer side, which provides stability when changing the direction of movement when an obstacle suddenly appears. Even at a speed of 80-100 km / h, the car does not skid. An arrow is drawn on the side surface of the tire, showing the direction of the pattern in the direction of the car. Asymmetric tires have: inner side and the outside.

Summer tires

Summer tires built for speed and agility. This is achieved by the tread pattern and rubber properties that improve driving stability on the road. Summer tire tread patterns have fewer grooves and put more rubber in contact with the road.

They are designed for maximum grip on the road. Summer tires have shallower tread depths that provide stability as wear limits are approached.

For Daewoo Matiz fit 13" tires:

• Triangle Group TR256 155/65 R13 73S;
• Tigar Sigura 155/65R13 73T;
• Dunlop SP Sport LM704 155/65R13 73H.

They have the same dimensions, but the speed index is slightly different: 170, 180, 210. For a Triangle Group TR256 155/65 R13 73S tire, depending on the region, pay 1700-1800 rubles, and for Dunlop SP Sport LM704 - 2800-3000 rubles. Probably, who drives a Matiz will choose a tire at the lowest price.

14 inch tires for Daewoo Matiz:

• Tiger Sigura 155/65R14 75T;
• Triangle TR978 155/65R14 75H.

These are 14 inch wheels. The choice will most likely be for Triangle TR978 155/65R14 75H, because their price is almost 2 times lower than that of Nokian Hakka Green 2. It's up to you to choose. The criteria are known.

Winter tires

In some regions with mild winters, all-season tires are used. This compromise is necessary to provide acceptable performance in light winter conditions and ensure long tread life.

All-season tires are capable of providing traction in winter, but are not the best tire for extreme winter driving conditions. For winter trips in the city, it is hardly worth buying studded tires. But if you have to drive in winter on a snowy and icy road, then you should think about spikes.

Winter tires provide superior braking and cornering performance in winter temperatures and conditions: ice, snow, slush, cold dry pavement. To ensure reliable grip at temperatures below 7°C, winter tires have a rubber compound that remains soft and flexible. Aggressive tread blocks cut through snow and ice. Such a tire is also called a friction tire. For conditions with cold temperatures and heavy, difficult snow, winter tires provide reliable performance and safety. The snowflake sign indicates that the tire is winter.

The nimble "Daewoo Matiz" has long earned the title of popular and indispensable in urban traffic jams and crowded car parking. The only problem is still the choice of tires suitable for the Daewoo Matiz. In addition to the fact that the assortment presented in stores is not as wide as for 15- or 17-inch counterparts, it is also difficult to choose the right size. There are several suitable options. About what size of tires and wheels for the Daewoo Matiz is better to choose and what experienced drivers advise to put on a car, this article.

The manufacturer has established the main standard tire sizes for Daewoo Matiz: 155/65/R13 and 145/70/R13.

According to the accepted designation system of technical indices, the first number is the width of the tire at the point of contact with the roadway, that is, the distance between the outer edges of the tire in the inflated state. The second digit indicates the ratio of the height of the tire profile to the width, expressed as a percentage. That is, 65% of 155 mm or 70% of 145. This figure in both sizes differs by just a couple of millimeters and is about 101 mm. The letter R indicates that the location of the cord is radial, as on most modern cars. And finally, the last digit determines the radius of the inner circumference of the wheel. All allowable tire sizes for Daewoo Matiz are 13 inches (or 33 cm).

Which tires are better to install in winter and which in summer

Daewoo Matiz owners recommend installing tires of size 145/70 / R13 in winter. Such tires, in comparison with their wider counterparts, in the studded version will slow down better and more confidently “get out” of the melted snow porridge. And due to the fact that they are already, and the profile is higher, the pressure on the spikes will be greater. This will allow them to better cut into snow or loose ice on the road. Manufacturers say that there are no recommendations regarding the choice of size for winter tires on Daewoo Matiz, both tire sizes can be used regardless of the season and vehicle equipment.

The use of tires of standard sizes guarantees the absence of problems both with the car's handling and with warranty service, since it is not uncommon for Daewoo Matiz owners to be denied a warranty extension due to the use of non-standard tire sizes.

What other tire sizes are set by the owners of Daewoo Matiz

Tires of the recommended UZ-Daewoo size, although they guarantee comfort and safety, are not so often found on the open market. In addition, the cost of such wheels is sometimes comparable to the price of their more serious 15-inch counterparts. Owners of small cars have long solved this problem and picked up the right wheels empirically.

The most common and suitable replacement for standard tire sizes for Daewoo Matiz are tires of size - 155/70 / R13. They differ from the native "Matiz" ones only in the height of the profile, but, according to reviews, this does not in the least interfere with safe movement. The wheel touches the fender liner only when the steering wheel is in the extreme position or when snow is clogged under the wheel arches in winter. Many owners have never encountered this problem at all, but, on the contrary, they say that the clearance increases, and due to this, the car rides softer, the dynamics decrease. This size fits without problems on regular Daewoo Matiz wheels and rarely arouses suspicion among service center workers, as it is regular size for the "twin brother" "Daewoo Matiz" - "Chevrolet Spark".

It is recommended to install tires of size 165/65/R13 only as a last resort, when it was not possible to purchase products of one of the three above-mentioned sizes. These tires are a centimeter wider than the maximum allowed by the manufacturer and are significantly higher. But according to the reviews of the owners, the friction on the lockers with a full turn of the car is already quite strong, and the rubber on typical "stamped" disks begins to "eat up" after 15-20 thousand kilometers. Therefore, for such rubber, more expensive "alloy" wheels are needed. It is important to keep in mind that when using Daewoo Matiz tires of these sizes, a correction is introduced for the speedometer readings: if the speed sensor shows 100 km / h, the actual speed of the car is 102.3 km / h.

When installing tires large sizes on the Daewoo Matiz, there may be difficulties with normal work steering mechanism, as the load on the suspension, engine and brake mechanisms car.

The main tire brands for Daewoo Matiz

When buying tires from many Daewoo Matiz owners, the main selection parameter is cost. On a small city sedan, it is unlikely that you will be able to appreciate all the advantages of premium brand wheels, so you should pay attention to products. domestic manufacturers or more budget subsidiaries worldwide famous brands.

Cordiant (Russia)

Excellent value for money and big choice models and sizes for all seasons. The cost starts from 1700 rubles. for the tire. According to the owners, very soft, but at the same time strong and wear-resistant tires for Daewoo Matiz.

Hankook (Korea)

Decent tires for both city and highway. They cost a little more than Cordiant (from 2000 rubles per bottle), but according to the owners, they deserve a solid 5 in handling (+ removed because the tires do not always behave well when driving in a rut, but it has never been noticed side skid) and 5+ for comfort (rubber is very soft and almost silent). True, there are practically no 145/70 / R13 tires on sale, but 155 tires - both summer and winter - are in a large assortment.

Nokian Nordman (Finland, Russia)

The subsidiary brand of the economy segment of the Finnish concern Nokia N is focused on Russian market, the plant for the manufacture of these tires using Finnish technology is located in St. Petersburg. Tires of an atypical size for Daewoo Matiz 155/70 / R13 are in demand among motorists, as they guarantee 100% controllability in all weather conditions. They confidently overcome deep puddles, and in winter they behave perfectly on ice, maintaining the trajectory of movement and preventing slipping. All this, combined with an adequate price (about 2000-2500 rubles per tire) allows motorists to forget about such a disadvantage as poor cross-country ability in mud or when it gets into a snowdrift and faster wear compared to budget counterparts.

• The manufacturer's recommended tire sizes should be followed when the vehicle is on warranty service.
• According to the rules traffic, all four wheels must be of the same size and seasonality (half or one wheel cannot be studded, and the rest are summer).
• It is better to change tires in sets - uniform wear is safer when driving.
