Rubber on UAZ is a very dreary and extensive topic, which I have not touched on yet. Today we will try to understand this complex issue. Regarding rubber, there are a couple of good articles, including on the site http://www.uazbuka.ru. I decided to compose the material from there and present it in a more convenient form. So…
“These guys need to get to more important places than you. Save your tires. Check your tires IMMEDIATELY."
The first article talks about "foreign" tires on UAZ 🙂
"Inomaroshnaya" tires on UAZ
Only tires of the Mud Terrain class are able to inspire boundless confidence to the off-road owner.
These tires are originally designed to overcome the most difficult off-road areas, although they are not forbidden to ride on ordinary roads. Efficiency when driving on a variety of types of soil, sufficient traction to overcome mud and ford, "puncture resistance", durability and movement at any inflation pressure - this is what avid hunters and fishermen, as well as off-road riders love Mud Terrain tires. 
BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrain T/A Tires.
Radial tubeless tire with triple protective polymer cord. It has a developed and balanced set of off-road qualities and for many jeepers serves as a kind of benchmark for comparison. Mud Terrain T / A is hardy (mileage under normal road conditions can reach 40-50 thousand km) and is available in a wide range (nine sizes for 15-inch wheels, 6 sizes for 16, two for 16.5).
Cooper Discoverer ST. An off-road tire of a well-known and popular brand in America. In terms of individual off-road qualities, it is inferior to the previous one, but more versatile. It loses a little in strength and endurance, but it is cheaper (however, if we again take into account prices in the USA). It is also produced in a very wide range (10 sizes for 15-inch wheels, 13 by 16, 3 by 16.5, there are even sizes for 17 and 14-inch wheels).
Tires General Tire Grabber MT.
This tire is produced by a group Continental companies. It has proven itself on sandy roads (the ratio of the “checkered” area to the depth of the grooves is optimal), copes well with mud (self-cleaning tread) and is not afraid of rocky roads (new heavy-duty rubber compound). Noisy on asphalt. It is produced so far only in the six most popular "jeeper" sizes.
Goodyear Wrangler MT/R. As soon as it appeared, this novelty was immediately called by experts "a new word in dirty business". It has gigantic grip in the mud, works great low, and is comfortable on the road. Goodyear has implemented the very best in MT/R technological advances(silicone rubber compound, polymer three-layer sidewall, reinforced puncture protection, a special cord design that forms an impressive “paw” of the contact patch) and therefore ranked it, no less, in the State-of-the-Art category (well , it's kind of like "the best is not necessary").
Mickey Thompson Baja CLAW Radial Tires.
Another novelty. Aggressive appearance provokes the same style of overcoming off-road. Powerful oblique mud evacuation ditches in the tread allow you to attack deep mud literally from a raid without the risk of “floating” and loss of inertia, and an elastic rubber compound and a strong cord provide the tire with patency on stone and cobblestones. The tire is not cheap and is only available in 4 sizes so far.
Tires for UAZ Pirelli Scorpion MUD.
Even such a “peaceful”-looking tire as this one contains all the huge sports and technological experience that Pirelli has acquired in international rally raids. Scorpion MUD behaves well on soft soils, copes well with slippery roads, and on ordinary concrete or asphalt it goes comfortably and without unnecessary noise, maintaining good directional stability even at a high speed for an SUV (130-140 km / h).

Tires for UAZ YAI-357A
YAI-357 is a radial version of the UAZ non-military rubber Y-245. Accordingly, off-road should behave the same, but a little better at highway speeds.
I bought a UAZ with this rubber, I left for more than a year. I think that this is a good radial model, good in winter and summer. I do not want to switch to another model of rubber, and I will continue to buy only it.
YAI-357 (215-90R15) from Yaroslavl - similar in design to a diagonal one, but much softer. The car confidently goes through the mud, has, in my opinion, good directional stability. For sand and loose soil, the tire, perhaps, is not very suitable. Since we have more mud than sand, I recommend this rubber to those who live in the countryside or often go to the country.
Mud tires for UAZ Ya-358
Tire size 11.2-16; Purpose: front drive axle MTZ-82N; Load index 1050; Speed index A6(30); Outer diameter, mm 895; Profile width, mm 290; Weight, kg 44
Tractor tyres. They are driven by mini tractors 16-7.5, it’s like 31 ″ exists and 16-9.5 i.e. 35 ″, but once again - this is a terrible shortage of the most massive tractors - Chinese, their rubber is g ..., solid soot, they die at once
From the stories, on it, it’s just super in the mud (it doesn’t happen super), but it cuts through the swamp and begins to dig in at breakneck speed.
Produced by the Volzhsky Tire Plant (VlShZ), OJSC Voltyre, Volgograd Region, Volzhsky.
Low-profile, diagonal tire F-201 (10.0/75-15.3) is designed for the universal small-sized machine MKSM-800, which performs lifting and transport operations in quarries and mines. The low profile and non-directional traction pattern provide high flotation in both forward and reverse in off-road conditions, on snowy roads and on deformable surfaces, high directional stability and grip of the tire with the road. The maximum load on the tire (depending on the ply rating) is from 1120 to 1695 kgf, weight - 30 kg, maximum speed- 30 km / h.
About the F-201 tire, a brief history:
For a long time I drove on Y-409 tires and had a good example of the operation of Y-192. Trips through swampy areas have shown that both tires are narrow and heavy. UAZ fails. After driving on clay and snow tracks behind lifted Land Rovers, Land Cruisers and Jeeps, it turned out that a standard UAZ with military bridges on standard wheels rides a little better. Therefore, I decided to find tires wide and with a standard outer diameter.
The “Goodrich” option is eliminated for a number of reasons:
-expensive
-relatively weak sidewalls (quite frequent punctures)
-large diameter in relation to tire width (not suitable for my driving style)
The option "tractor Christmas tree" of the Yaroslavl or Belarusian plant is no longer available for the following reasons:
- weighs a lot
- too large diameter (overloading of aggregates, bad dynamics acceleration and deceleration)
From the operation of my UAZ in difficult conditions, the following requirements were determined that the tire must meet:
-reasonable price
- have developed lugs (type I-192)
- have a standard dia. with a large width (from 250 mm.)
- weight should be no more than the standard
- strong boards
The search led to the following models TVL-3, VL-30, F-201. The following dimensions: 10/75/15.3 and 11.5/80/15.3 Tread: "Christmas tree", analogue of Ya-192
The choice fell on the F-201, an analogue of the I-192, size. 10/75/15.3.
I liked the tire because it has an outer diameter. 780 mm. with a width of 10 inches (almost 250 mm.). The weight is not much more than the standard (own feelings experienced during tire fitting). The middle part of the tread is similar to the Ya-192, and the side part is like a Christmas tree.
Fears caused landing dia. 15.3 (UAZ for 15).
There were the following ideas for installing such tires:
- put a cut camera, like on trucks.
-when expanding disks (according to the principle of 2 one), install hoops.
-put discs from the appropriate equipment with re-drilling the holes for the bolts and the hub. (8-9 inch wheels are needed)
- put on standard disks (for testing)
I went along the simple path "installation on UAZ disks." Tire fitting had to be done by two, due to the large width of the tire with fairly rigid sides and a narrow disk. During tire fitting, it seemed that our designers saved on matrices under 15.3, but simply put a stamp on the sidewall. The tire was pumped up to 2 atm. Due to the narrow disc, the tread is located in an arc (when viewed from the “end face”). I put all the wheels on the UAZ with military bridges and fender liner. We look. rear wheels they don’t touch anywhere, the front ones too. We make marks. Go. On asphalt, you can drive up to 80 km / h, but for a short time (lack of balancing and narrow wheels). After running along the road with a length of 120 km from average speed 60 km/h the tire is hot enough (causes concern) The tires are quite hard and all the flaws of the asphalt road make themselves felt on the steering wheel. After intense acceleration and braking on the "skid" we look at the marks - everything is in place. Release the pressure to 1.2 atm. The car started to run much smoother. Continue onto the country road. Vibration from the wheels disappeared, you can go fast enough. On clay, the tire goes perfectly, it doesn’t get washed out, it became possible to quickly accelerate and slow down. This allows me to move in a style close to the rally. We're going down a deep rut. The car strikes bridges and razdatkoy, but goes. We are trying to get out of the rut in full drive. Steering wheel to the left, uiiiiii! The car rose slightly, but continued to move in a straight line. Now to the swing. Went in the third time. I'm trying the option of leaving the track without front axle. The attempt was successful the first time. Farther four-wheel drive and in front. Looking for a place to get stuck. Aha!!! Ready. Let's try in the swing. Super!!! After I-409, there is a feeling that the car "has grown claws." The machine is perfectly amenable to buildup, while the buildup process is clearly controlled. On the sand, everything is “the way”. The process of "digging" is always under control. Unfortunately, it was not possible to ride through the swampy terrain. We look at the marks - they are again in place. The next step is to convert the disks. I suppose, thereby getting rid of the beating of the wheels and increasing the contact patch.
Rubber I-502
I installed the Nizhnekamsk I-502. Of the FOUR wheels, TWO were balanced (an imbalance of 500 g with kopecks). Put it on alloy wheels with the shape of a star and offset ET = 0 (discs from the city of Kamensk-Uralsky "Vicom" five-pointed star). As a result, I received the following. The mass of native rubber with a disk of 33 kg became 25 kg, the wheel felt better by 8 kg. Total 8 kg x 4 = 32 kg. The creaking of the front pads is a thing of the past, apparently due to the fact that cooling has improved. Dynamics began to appear during acceleration and movement (wheels are lighter). Due to the smaller overhang, the track has increased i.e. cornering stability (not tilting so much), as well as handling (no need to steer). Virtually no fatigue during long trips. There is practically no goat and it has become softer ... I advise, I like it.
They hold the road tightly, they don’t fall into the skid, like “relatives”. In the last snow and ice on the country road behaved normally. I dragged more than 50 km of UAZ with a jammed engine, dragged it, my dear, even on a completely icy hill. On the road, soft and not noisy. I keep the pressure 2.5 - 3.
In my opinion - 502 is what you need. The diameter is sufficient, soft (with such a suspension it is important), the pattern is sufficient for dirt, and at the same time it is good on the track.
It works fine everywhere, except for wet clay - it licks at the moment, the self-cleaning of the tread is 0.
Rubber I-502, although it did not give reason to doubt the patency of the UAZ, but directional stability on clay - well, none. [Gnashing]
502 behaves just fine on a winter road, although it doesn’t like virgin snow very much. [Cuirassier]
For official needs, I looked for 2 sets, conclusions:
1. Weak sidewalls - cut to tear at max.
2. It is washed out both on clay and on simply damp arable land (fertile lands, but not black soil).
3. Diameter for ed. small bridges.
4. Ground clearance drops even in comparison with the standard.
5. There are no special advantages in winter. [Moose zip]
I-502 (225-85R15) - developed by NIISHP, produced at Nizhnekamskshina - a little wider than YaI-357, and the car runs even softer on it. In the mud, this tire does not work well - it immediately clogs and does not self-clean, like the YaI-357. Course stability is also worse with it, but if you get into a skid, it pulls the car much more readily when gas is applied. And on a hard, wet surface, the 502nd behaves better than the 357th. I think that the I-502 is suitable for those who drive all year round, but it’s probably not worth arranging the Camel Trophy on it.
I set it to 3160 almost immediately after buying it. The difference between the standard and the 520th is striking. The car practically ceased to scour, became softer, more dynamic (although the latter is most likely due to more agile alloy wheels). True, balancing is a problem. The imbalance of some wheels reached 300 gr. The tires have already passed about 24 thousand km. On asphalt, incl. and on the wet, on the sand behaves with dignity. There are no cameras. The pressure keeps perfectly - for all the time I corrected once no more than 0.2. In short, the impressions are good. [Siberian]
520 (Pilgrim) has a size of 235-75 R15, actually - 29 inches. The car on it goes "like clockwork", more precisely - "like on rails" - excellent handling and no yaw. And on completely regular rusty disks. The car runs very smoothly. Weights - 2-3 pcs. on the wheel. Pressure (tubeless): has not dropped at all in 9 months! About off-road qualities: I and Andrey (The Beast) were in Tver on the "Off-Road Expedition" in the second (medium in complexity) group. But I still had to go on the most difficult route. Andrey has portal bridges, and I have collective-farm bridges and without blockages. But I got stuck only when I sat down on both of these same collective-farm bridges. So I will change this gum only for a trophy 33 inch. [Radomyrich]
To self-cleaning in the mud, no actions on the part of the I-520 tire itself seemed to be noticed :). But at the same time it rides! Three times in the mud knocked out the low gear to neutral, and in the most ambush places. But I turned it on - and went! - Where Vitaliy went on I-192, I went there on I-520). I repeat once again - I got stuck on the I-520 only after thoroughly sitting on both bridges. But never because of the slippage of tires clogged with mud. Once again - the tire diameter is 29 inches, for the Ya-471 - 30.4. That is ground clearance will be more than half an inch. A lot or a little is up to you to decide.
By the way, chains on the I-520 are much easier to find. On I-471, they may have to be finalized.
About city driving. No noise (they actually exist, of course, but the transmission and other pieces of iron block them), no vibrations. Manageability is excellent. The last 200 km from Tver to St. Petersburg were driven with Misha and Shurik at least 110 km/h. I really wanted to go home :). The tires behaved at the same time aatlichno.
dry residue. Still, the I-520 is a city tire, on which you can safely get out into nature. I-471 is a universal tire (but not for raids, of course). Very normal. But it seems to me that it makes sense to also put it on good 8-inch wheels with no more than zero overhang. Then it will be possible to feel all its charm and will not touch the suspension. [Radomirych]
Soft, quiet, very stable rubber. The diameter is actually an inch smaller than that of the 502 and regular ones. But this is such nonsense compared to the comfort and sense of confidence on the road that these tires give.
About off-road. Of course it's not for him. But on a couple of rides (one of them Lesnoye-2000), the tires showed the following:
- on soft ground, where the I-192 falls through in one and a half passes, the I-520 can be driven back and forth 20 times (pulling stuck nivovodov).
- compared to other road tires for UAZ vehicles of this class and size, incl. and regular 245 and 357, I-520 is the best off-road in terms of cross-country ability.
- compared to 502, he landed only where he landed on collective-farm bridges. And THE BEAST with Andrey and Ira was on military bridges and on 502. I didn’t sit on the bridges much, therefore I didn’t really get stuck either.
Rims are way too wide. For I-520 better drives 7″. But the car, on the other hand, will drive 8″ more stable on the highway and rollover. [Radomyrych]
Well, yes, small diameter and weak sidewalls. He sat down with bridges in a rut, along which an UAZ had previously passed on standard tires. The sidewall was torn by running tangentially onto the curb. On the pavement - great, on a standard one it would throw in a random direction when braking, after replacing it with a pilgrim, everything returned to normal. It goes well in the snow, compared to the regular one, the same snowdrift pushes through less. In general, I liked it in the mud, the tread is even better than 471, it is less washed out. True, I compared when 471 was standing on a trooper, maybe it wasn’t about rubber there 🙂
Tires for UAZ I-506
In the longitudinal direction it clings super, slows down and rows perfectly on any snow. It cleans well - I tried it in the mud during a thaw. The cons are:
- in the transverse direction it holds rather weakly - I somehow could not get out of the side of the road. The slope was 20 degrees and there was quite a lot of snow;
- harsh. Not fatal;
- it is small, only about 29 inches.
By the way, I have already tested it in the mud. The feeling is very good - the pattern is large, with a good distance between the blocks. It is cleaned very well, only on dry soil small drainage grooves are clogged, but this is not scary. In the mud with a depth of 30 cm, which the UAZs on YaI-357 went around, he drove without any problems and still dragged a chisel behind him.
It also holds well on dry, loose soil - it’s nice to climb ravines. There are problems on deep dry sand - it was felt that the car was slipping - apparently, it was too narrow and toothy for sand, so it’s better to take Ya-471 for sand, I guess.
I-471 (31x10.5 inches) appeared recently. This tubeless tire from Yaroslavl, perhaps, has absorbed the advantages of the two previous models (YaI-357 and I-502): the car runs very smoothly on it, the asphalt joints are simply swallowed. The directional stability is better than on other tires, and thanks to the "evil" pattern, the cross-country ability will satisfy many. And what a combat look the UAZ acquires! Frankly, for a long time I doubted whether to install these tires. It seems to be clear from the textbooks that a wide tire should be inferior to a narrow one in terms of cross-country ability. But, having traveled on the I-471, I can confidently say that it surpasses the previous two. True, it needs wheels wider than regular ones for tubeless tires.
Frequently Asked Questions for I-471:
1. Whether to be put on native disks? - YES!
2. Whether to be put on the camera? - YES!
3. Is the option possible with both? (on regular disks with a camera)
— On regular disks only with a camera. On domestic forged for UAZ it is possible without a camera. [OlegM]
4. Do I need to lift the car? - On a spring suspension, you can not lift
I have on an unloaded car, with civil bridges, centimeter 3 to the fender liner.
Impressions of I 471 at speed:
Yesterday, returning from the hacienda, I rode a bit with a slipper on the floor and was pleasantly surprised by the behavior of the car. On the "native" YAI 357 at speeds above 110-120, the car began to "fidget". And now - that 130, that 80 - the behavior is the same - it goes and goes. Moreover, since I haven't changed anything except for rubber - this is clearly her merit. [Chief]
In the summer on asphalt, I think 471 is ideal for UAZ, but in winter there is simply no.
A few nuances about I-471:
1. Hard to balance. I have forged wheels, so the weights take up about a sixth of the length of the wheel rim
2. Despite the fact that many put on wheels of standard width, that is, 6 inches, and they seem to drive without problems, this is not correct, since the rim of the disk should be 70-75 percent of the width of the rubber. That is, for I-471 MINIMUM 7 inches. I have eight inches. Departure is nil.
3. My car is almost new. At first, the rubber did not cling to the outer part of the arches, but, apparently, the springs sagged and began to hurt a little. It is necessary either to bend the arches inward a little, more precisely, their internal flanging, or to lift a little. If there are wheel arch liners - then only. You can still just cut the wings a little bit, but this is not for everyone. Or a professional 🙂
4. I-471 behaves amazingly on asphalt, sand, not very blurry primer. It's hard to dig into it. [Jedi]
Of course, it doesn’t obey the grazi, but I don’t remember much enthusiasm for the I-357 either ... In principle, I even drove it uphill on wet clay ruts (of course, with a front end) and even started off on the rise. Although, probably in critical conditions on a tractor track after an avalanche, it can fail. It's just that in my practice, critical conditions are more common on the highway (for example, rain or bitumen) and on slopes, where an extra centimeter of track will not hurt. In short, this rubber is not for the trial, but for the normal life of the layman.
I ride the I-471 all year round. The wheels are standard. It’s great in the summer, I didn’t look for any special dirt, but in the fall I got it once. When it's not very deep it rides fine. BUT I didn’t storm big mud.
Winter sucks, especially on ice. Snow slightly compacted normally. I rode a lot on the crossroads, if it’s firmly under the wheels, then it rides great. There is an observation that you have to steer a little more intensively, this is on standard disks. Or maybe it's a glitch. In my opinion, the wheels should not be pumped more than 2 points. In general, I'm happy with the tires. I'm thinking of converting stock rims to 8" rims. [Running Turtle]
I-471 lowered to 0.5 rushing through the snow as you like, and in which case it allows you to turn back. Proven in practice many times. Runs rough with more pressure
Tires for UAZ Ya-569
CJSC "TSARM" (St. Petersburg) tested new tires Ya-569, which have proven themselves positively and have a pattern for off-road vehicles. UAZ on such tires won 1st place ("Turboded") in the rally-raid "Polygon-2000".[TsARM]
The rubber is good, the tread is evil, it cleans up normally, one big minus is that it is only about 30 inches, it is low. She has a width of 235, dear. On the road with it, the car is better than with the standard one. So for an amateur, in general. And on the I-471 highway, it’s definitely better, 569 is noisy and the gasoline engine eats well.
"Taganka"
It stood like this. Nothing particularly good: 1. small diameter; 2. the tread is only for asphalt - it even slips on the grass; (((In my opinion, you shouldn’t mess with this one - take the I-502 - this is a kind of “optimum for the people”;))) Lekha47rus
Enough for less than a year, the screw went all. Unfortunately, MSHZ has not yet learned how to make reusable rubber. And so all is well. [Ivanushka]
Rubber for UAZ Ya-192
In the mud - like a tank. On the highway - worse than a tank, in the sense that until you get to the mud, it will shake all the insides.
I tried to compare I-502 and I-192 in deep snow. It was done like this: on the I-502 I go to a certain place and ride there until I completely burrow. At the same time, I try not to bring all this to the state of a tank training ground. Then, I go and quickly change the wheels. I’m going there again and again trying to ride on specially left strips of untouched snow, parallel to the previous ruts. Conclusion: I-192 is better, but not by much.
In the snow, where I drove on a worn-out 357, the 192nd falls through, digs and sits. A meter forward, a meter back more or less. You roll - you go. Blowing is useless. Vopschem tired of sex and I put on chains: 0)) Itit, much better, but damn narrow tires outrageously. One hell fails. On the highway, a grinder and a hand massager, despite the power steering. On the road at 90 km / h, you will sweat the car. Throws from side to side. I ran into a cigarette butt for 5 minutes, it shakes and you catch the road: 0)) It’s better not to go out on the ice at all, it’s useless to slow down, it’s useless to steer. Almost demolished the chisel: 0) In the morning it was -10 The wheels warmed up 15 km: 0) And the good thing about this rubber is just the diameter of the wheel and driving on slush.
Tires for UAZ Ya-409
I drive the I-409 year and through the swamp and through the city ... and through the snow. It's just great in the snow, not bad on the ice. I don’t drive slowly on asphalt, at 140 (if you don’t talk much with the wheel ...) Radial rubber. But in the Zvenigorodsky quarry, I got stuck in a puddle of clay, but I think there was nothing to do there and on the Ya-192. [Kolka]
I have had I-409 for 2 years now. It justified itself only as a winter one, at summer rallies and trophies are not cleared through the mud at all. At the summer competitions in the autocross, everyone made me who was on the I-192.
In the mud, what she was offered, she succeeded easily. Howling on the highway is not weak, but tolerable, well-controlled. [timosha]
On ice, of course, g ... oh! It’s great on packed snow - normal directional stability, maneuverability like on a dry road, in deep snow (up to 40-50 cm) confidently rushing due to high profile, but sway like on a boat. It is cleared normally, even in wet clay. I don't regret one bit. Although it is harsh compared to other tires. I keep the pressure 1.8 - 1.9.
Now I don’t even want to put 502 back, although there are 4 wheels. I intended to put 409 only for dirt, but now I don’t take it off. But it really digs in one fell swoop, I had it in sand and gravel. You famously accelerate the rear axle and sit, but as a rule, turning on the front end fixes everything. Another tip for balancing. When they balance, ask them not to rush to hang a bunch of loads at once, let them spin the tire on the disk. This allowed me to halve the weight of the cargo.
Test report I-409:
Not tested only in the swamp and in deep snow.
Before that, I went to 245, and then to 502.
Viscous mud after rain does not self-clean at all (although we still need to figure out what is invested in this concept), the rollers are obtained, like in 245, only wider, but the car goes, although it scours to the sides, but it confidently climbs into the rise, where there were 245 problems (there was a case to compare, we drove two cars).
GOOD dirt, after a good rain - allows you to ride one rear wheel drive never succeeded in planting. Even if you rest against the bridges and roll back for a long time in front, or you make your way forward or on your own back, it doesn’t burrow like 192. I’m very pleased with the ability to get out of the rut and not fall back from the curb, it keeps side sliding well on slopes.
Clay - the tread clogs, but extrudes clay perfectly. This weekend (6 people, 2 dogs, a full trunk) I got up on a clay slope of 30 degrees and only then realized that I was driving on rear axle. He turned on the front end and climbed into the tightness on the second low one. At 502, I would not have twitched there.
Golimy rolled ice - I was driving on a rear-wheel drive without showing off, the car behaves quite predictably, it starts and slows down normally.
Snow porridge with loose ice - no questions asked, it goes like on asphalt.
Just asphalt (dry, wet, it doesn't matter) - harder than 502 (although I keep 3 atmospheres), a little noisier - but not so much to feel discomfort. Accelerated to not up to .... I don’t know how much, the speedometer was over 120 on the tachometer 4000 rpm on gr / bridges normally, the car does not scour.
Well balanced only two wheels (up to 100 grams per side), and two (up to 250 grams per side). In short, I am satisfied, if I change when, then for some new one or for 33 ". These are my personal conclusions, as you know, which I made for myself in half a year of operation. Dashed over 10,000 km, noticeable wear only on the front wheels from the outside. As I understand it, this is a disease of most UAZs, plus fast cornering.
Noise level - with the windows closed, rubber is generally inaudible, regardless of speed and coverage.
Holds the road well. I repeatedly tried to let go of the steering wheel at a speed of 80-90 km / h - the car rushes like a tank (it just doesn’t wag directly).
Fuel consumption (mine is 126 carbs)
In summer - 12.5 liters on the highway (avg. speed 80 km / h), 14.5 - in the city, naturally when driving with one bridge included.
In winter, on two bridges, the consumption does not exceed 18 l / 100 km.
Patency:
Sand - very confident, at any load;
Snow — I rolled across the field with a snow depth of up to 40 cm — I felt quite comfortable.
Clay (loam) - rides until you sit on the bridges, then - well ... :-).
Ice: it is better to get under way on two bridges, to slow down - it is possible with one switched on.
Of the negative points - one: the problem is to get out of the rut, the side lugs are very weak.
Conclusion: for everyday use in urban environments and not very serious off-road, I recommend paying attention to it. Well, it’s better to climb into d..mo naturally on more eminent brethren. [Mamaiashvili Sergey Valerievich]

What to look for when choosing
If you are going to buy mud tires for a UAZ Patriot or another SUV model, you need to decide on the wheel class. To do this, just look at the designations of three letters: MUD, which literally sounds like “dirt”. This abbreviation means that the tire is designed to overcome swamps, clay, swamps, pits and potholes.
Every self-respecting car owner of the popular Russian SUV UAZ Patriot seeks to test his steel horse in action. But before you go off-road, you should prepare the car.

Regular tires (road) get clogged with dirt instantly, which leads to a decrease in engagement with the surface and the absence of any cross-country ability. Therefore, mud wheels will never let you down in any off-road conditions. But besides the benefits, mud tires has one drawback - it is the irrationality of its use on asphalt pavement. That is, if these tires are 100% effective in mud, then they are simply hopeless on asphalt (25%).

What is the difference between mud wheels on UAZ and ordinary ones
To make the right choice, you need to know what types of tires exist and how UAZ off-road tires differ from ordinary ones.
The range of products is wide and the question arises which tires to choose for UAZ and how they differ different variants. First of all, they differ in the tread pattern.
For the UAZ SUV, several types of tire products are produced:
- Highway - used for movement on a hard asphalt surface. The structure of the rubber used and the characteristic properties of the tread are not designed for off-road and difficult road surfaces.
- Universal tires are more adapted to difficult road conditions than highway. The tread pattern on tires is large. Such products are not suitable for heavy off-road, but they are able to overcome areas with mud.
- Mud tires stand out for their special cross-country ability, with its help you can cope with areas where there are no roads. With a deep and large tread, with a rare pattern, with powerful lugs, they are able to pull the car out of difficult conditions.
Note!
The main differences between mud tires and conventional tires are the tread pattern and depth, lugs, as well as a harder and denser rubber compound.
Since it is impossible to create universal tires, manufacturers produce several varieties of them for certain climatic conditions. Properties of the rubber from which they are made car tires, depend on the ambient temperature. As it increases, the rubber softens and wears out quickly. With a decrease - hardens, loses elasticity. Because of this, the wheels no longer hold traction on corners, and the braking distance increases.
Winter tires are designed for driving at temperatures below +7 degrees. At elevated temperatures, they become soft, and if they are not changed, they will quickly become worthless. At negative temperatures, they do not "tan", and driving on such tires is safe even in severe frost.
Some varieties winter tires may have spikes - solid inserts designed to move on ice.
Friction tires ("Velcro") are divided into Scandinavian and European models. Scandinavian car tires were invented for snowy roads. Large tread blocks with deep and wide sipes allow you to safely drive an SUV on snowy roads. European tires are designed for driving on asphalt cleared of snow. They have small tread blocks, the depth of the sipes is underestimated.
SUVs are popular vehicle, and there are more and more fans of off-road travel. Right choice tires can make the car more manageable on the road, as well as increase safety, which is determined by the quality and reliability of rubber.
