What tire size is optimal for an Oise loaf. Choosing the "right" tires for UAZ vehicles

Winter and summer tire- significant difference

At first glance, summer and winter tires on UAZ differ only visually. A tread for winter with greater depth, it has a completely different pattern. On the surface of the tire are visible studs for traction, especially on ice. But these are not the main differences between winter and summer tires.

Tires designed for operation in the summer are more rigid and able to withstand high positive temperatures. The temperature of the asphalt in the hot season increases, especially when braking and accelerating the car. In case of significant cooling summer tire can no longer keep the road, easily goes into a skid. It can be compared to an eraser, which, lying in the snow, will simply break if you squeeze it with your hand. Summer type of tires at a temperature of minus 1 degree loses its elasticity. Therefore, during frosts, it is urgent to replace summer tires with winter ones.

The composition from which the winter tire is made allows it not to harden in severe frosts, and to keep a firm grip on the road. It is soft, looks more voluminous, its tread is higher. With it, tires in winter successfully fight snow and ice. Such a tire cannot hold the road at positive temperatures, and especially in the rain. The car becomes poorly controlled. If you use a winter tire in the summer, it will quickly wear out and break down.

Winter tires can be used up to plus 1 degree mark. With more high temperatures they need to be changed.

How to choose winter tires

Probably, all motorists know: when choosing tires for the cold season, you need to take this very seriously. Regardless of which brand of UAZ is owned, the wheels of the car must be proportional to the dimensions of the arches.

The best brands of winter tires

If you choose the wrong size tires, they will rub against the fender liner and prop up the frame. We must not forget that winter tires on UAZ should be selected in accordance with the weight of the car. Tires designed for tractors and large trucks are very hard and cannot be fitted to an SUV. Expensive tires for UAZ on stamped wheels look frivolous.

From tread width winter tires depends on fuel consumption. The wider, the more. This rule applies when traveling on any public roads.

The tread pattern of the tire allows the car to increase cross-country ability. There is an optimal grip of winter tires with the road, so you can use different shifts and devices. This is possible if the tread pattern is suitable for the type of road surface.

When buying expensive wheels, you need to balance them without tires. Be sure to check their quality characteristics during rotation. When purchasing expensive tires, you need to find out which weight values ​​​​for balancing to zero are considered to be in excess of the norm.

The colder it gets outside, the more motorists think about changing summer tires. When buying tires for UAZ, give preference to tires with spikes. But in this situation, the driver needs to clearly understand where and for what purpose studded tires will be installed.

If the roads are snowy or covered with ice, a studded winter tire on the front axle will help. But keep in mind that it will reduce the controllability of the car, will cause skidding on ice sections of roads and during braking. That's why winter tires with spikes, it is so important to install both back and forth. Thus, the safety of all road users and the operation of the UAZ is ensured.

Features of winter tires on the UAZ Patriot

According to their purpose, they can be:

  • all-weather;
  • mud;
  • winter;
  • for extreme situations;
  • large sizes with low pressure.

It is important that all tires on the Patriot are the same size. Front tires wear out faster, so every 1000 km you need to change the front and rear wheels in places. New winter tires after balancing it is more expedient to put forward. Re-balancing is recommended after 500 km.

When driving on clean, snow-free asphalt, the pressure in winter tires should have standard values: 1.8-2.0 on the front and 2.1-2.4 on the rear wheels. These values ​​are determined by the manufacturer and depend on the characteristics of the tire itself. The optimality of indications is not determined by the manufacturer.

When measuring pressure, the use of the device is mandatory. At the same time, you need to check if air is escaping through the spool.

Winter shoes for the Patriot

Even with a slight roll of the car, you can visually notice the shortcomings of the purchased winter tire.

UAZ Patriot is an all-wheel drive vehicle, a heavy SUV. Tire pressure has a big impact on its transmission and fuel consumption. With different tire pressures on the same axle, the wear of the differential accelerates. Its blocking and high pressure in the wheels can completely destroy the axle of the car.

In the production of various tires at UAZ, a different composition of raw materials is used. The price of the product depends on the components of this composition. The higher quality raw materials, the more expensive winter tires.

The mass of rubber on the UAZ is small, but specifications car changes:

  • dynamics improves;
  • mileage increases;
  • fuel consumption is reduced.

The patterns of winter tires on UAZ can be different: rhombuses, checkers, grooves, etc. Square-section studs will provide good grip. Checkers will help the car cope with deep snow. Wet snow, bare asphalt - non-studded winter tires are suitable for the car.

Winter tires on UAZ provide good grip pavement, does not freeze, so the car becomes easy to drive.

It is advisable to choose tires from the manufacturer of the car itself. This gives you confidence that the rim and tire sizes will fit together.

Rules for selecting tires for UAZ

A lot depends on good winter shoes

At first glance, it seems that there are no difficulties. When choosing tires for the Patriot, you need to find out their technical characteristics. Tires must create conditions for safe off-road driving. Rubber for UAZ Patriot must be hardy, contribute to stability and the development of high speed.

Tires can be studless, all-weather or Velcro. It is suitable for installation on the UAZ Patriot, UAZ Hunter, as well as the "loaf". The marking of this rubber is M + S, but if the tires are marked with an asterisk, then they have passed special tests on dense snowy road surfaces.

Winter tires are divided into 2 types:

  • European - for a mild winter climate;
  • Scandinavian - for a harsh, snowy winter.

European tires have the following properties: low noise level, excellent wear resistance, grip on wet asphalt without snow, resistance to "slashplaning" (the complete opposite of aquaplaning, easy movement on "snow slush"). On an icy surface, such a tire will not show itself too well. The temperature regime suitable for this type of tire is the zero mark.

It can be concluded that what better rubber behaves on ice, the worse - on wet pavement.

Non-studded tires, which are close in their characteristics to studded tires, are designed for those roads where snow is removed, but salt and other substances that corrode ice and snow are not poured.

If the driver decides to install studded tires, then the first 200-500 km he must comply with the following rules:

  • avoid sharp turns;
  • brake smoothly;
  • "roll" the spikes to the tire.

It is better to choose high-quality studded tires at manufacturers, with a guarantee of product quality.

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 the most different types soil, sufficient traction to overcome mud and ford, "puncture resistance", strength and movement at any inflation pressure - this is what avid hunters and fishermen, as well as off-road enthusiasts, love Mud Terrain tires for.

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 in 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 snow covered road and on deformable surfaces, high directional stability and tire grip. 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 ruts behind lifted Land Rovers, Land Cruisers and Jeeps, it turned out that a standard UAZ with military axles on standard wheels rides just as well. 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, poor dynamics of 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, we got the impression 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. The rear wheels do not 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 the 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 area. 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). I put it on alloy wheels with a star shape and offset ET = 0 (wheels 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, no.

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, the ground clearance will be more than one and a half centimeters. 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 - 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 sat down only where he sat down 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 the I-520, 7″ wheels are better. 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
On an unloaded car, with civilian bridges, I have 3 centimeters 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 stock. 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) it confidently rushes due to the high profile, but it sways 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 on one rear-wheel drive, it was not possible to land even once. 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 the 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]

"Cars UAZ-3151, UAZ-31512, UAZ-41514 and their modifications" (operating manual RE 05808600-060.96)

The pressure is indicated in MPa (kgf/m2). The pressure test is carried out on cold rubber.

For fans of improvements, a video on how to make cuts in rubber on a UAZ:

Reliable and practical UAZ cars are popular in our country. The model range is quite wide. The cars themselves are very unpretentious and have great opportunities in terms of cross-country ability and movement in off-road areas. Additionally, SUV models are equipped with components that are designed to improve the already high driving performance. One of them is off-road tires for UAZ. However, you need to choose wisely.

To understand this issue, it is necessary to take into account many different points. It is also important to pay attention to the features of certain tires. And, of course, to know what all-weather tires are.

What tires are suitable for UAZ?

For example, for UAZ 33 models and many other similar cars, powerful, hardy tires are suitable. They will be able to cope with the enormous loads that the SUV provides. There are many different options available in automotive stores today. And if you need to pick up something you need, sometimes you can even get confused. Road tires are also suitable for UAZs. It is versatile and quite durable. It can be used both on the track and on bad roads. Off-road, it simply won’t be of much use - mud models will be required here.

The main parameters of mud tires

Any off-road vehicle owner should be aware that tires designed for mud can significantly affect factors such as handling, speed, and flotation. The same applies to performance. When choosing mud tires for a UAZ, it is important to take into account the required tire size, its tread pattern, and load capacity. When choosing such rubber, it is important to immediately know which roads you will have to drive on.

If the car will be used in sands and swampy areas, then softer options should be chosen. If the road is strewn with stones, then something tougher will do. An important parameter is the protector. High-quality and reliable, the softened tire has a pattern in the shape of a Christmas tree. The tougher ones, intended for mud, will be marked with an ornament consisting of large blocks. Real mud tires should be labeled MUD.

Classification

First of all, you need to know exactly what tires are in general. You should also consider the criteria by which you can stop at any of the options. In general, all tires differ in the pattern of the treadmill, the type of road surface, and the season.

So, there are tires aimed at UAZ, asymmetric type and non-directional. According to the type of roadway, there are highway, road, universal and high-strength products. By season - winter, summer and all-weather. There are also other parameters by which tires can be classified. One of the most important indicators is coverage. Rubber can be road or highway. These tires have good flotation on asphalt. Also on hard surfaces, the products have excellent grip. These tires are marked as HT.

Rubber also differs in noise level and moisture removal. However, these tires are not suitable for winter. The product does not have the necessary characteristics to be able to drive a car on snow or ice. Universal models or those that are suitable for most roads are marked AT. It is important to remember that these tires are not meant to be used all year round. Feature - large tread pattern.

Mud models are designated M/T. They are built to ride in poor or even extreme conditions. Such models were installed on a military UAZ and vehicles intended for hunting or fishing. The features by which they can be distinguished are a sufficiently deep tread, a large distance between the spikes, as well as lugs. The latter facilitate patency in deep mud conditions. These tires make a lot of noise while driving. You can also add sports tire modification to this classification.

This tire is most suitable for those who practically do not drive out of town. This type of product took a little bit from both road modifications and universal versions. It must be remembered that they are also not intended for winter operation.

Cordiant OffRoad

This is a universal tire, which at one time became a revolutionary product. The model managed to conquer the segment of affordable tires, and it has no competitors at all. These products fully justify their price. This off-road tire is a great choice if you need to go fishing on an entry-level off-road. The model is completely muddy, so it is better not to use it for winter. As for the movement in the mud, everything is perfect here.

But on serious off-road with these tires it will be already uncomfortable. This is the choice of those who do not want to engage in car modifications.

Contyre Expedition and Cooper Discoverer STT

Contyre Expedition on the tread pattern - a copy of the model from Cordiant. The tires fit on the "Loaf" as standard. The product performs better than Cordiant. In addition, the rubber is light and soft. The size is slightly smaller than stated by the manufacturer. If there is a choice - Cordiant or Contyre, then the latter option is definitely better.

As for it, this is a chic American-made off-road rubber. Its price is quite high. Therefore, you should not install it in standard size. It is recommended to use tire 265/75/R15. For installation, it will be necessary to simply trim the wheel arches. This is the perfect choice for the 469 model.

Ya-245 from Omskshina and Forward Safari 500

The first model is a classic. Although the tread pattern does not tell at all. But UAZ owners know that an all-terrain vehicle can be made from these tires. To do this, it is enough to cut the tire. The size is standard, but they are purchased specifically for cutting. At the same time, Forward Safari 500 is a real extreme version from a domestic manufacturer.

The price is very affordable. The size is the only and standard for the UAZ-452 car. Among the advantages - excellent flotation in the mud. Among the minuses is a solid and very heavy tire. A budget option.

Tire UAZ "Bear": for moderate off-road

This rubber YaShZ-569 is very popular. The product is suitable for use in moderate off-road conditions. Of course, if off-road driving is not the main task. The "Bear" is suitable for both the UAZ "Patriot", and the "Niva", and the UAZ 33. However, for the UAZ-469 car, as well as for the "Hunter" and "Patriot", they are not recommended to be used. In this case, the tire is smaller than necessary. One should not expect special efficiency from them. But if you purchase a suitable disk, then it is quite possible to install it on the Loaf.

These tires can provide a fairly high level of comfort on the pavement, but are not suitable for daily use. Rubber has an off-road tread pattern. On such tires the first places in rally raids were won. You can also often see a military UAZ shod in this rubber. The owners say it's a good choice. So, the tread is quite serious, the tire is normally cleared of dirt. But the minus - it is low, about 30 inches. Tire width - 235. A car on the road with "Bear" is more stable than with standard tires.

Tires I-471

This model, like the "Bear", is produced on a tubeless tire and has serious advantages. The car with it moves very smoothly. If there are joints on the asphalt, these UAZ tires simply swallow them. Also, the model has excellent directional stability. The tread pattern allows you to overcome even difficult sections. Many people like that with these tires the car takes on a unique, combative look. It would seem that wider tires should be inferior to narrow ones. However, in this case, this is not the case at all.

The tire is installed on regular wheels, can be mounted on the camera. If the first option is used, then the rubber should be installed only with the camera. On forged can be used without it. In summer, this is a reliable option, but in winter, all its effectiveness is reduced to zero. Also, those who managed to use the model claim that the tires are difficult to balance. Despite the fact that most people install these tires on UAZ with standard wheels and then drive without any problems, this is not entirely correct. Such a nuance is very important. The width of the disc must be greater than the width of the rubber. So, for this tire, it is at least 7 inches. In a word, the model is reliable in many ways. But if there is a tractor track ahead, and before that there was a downpour, then it is better not to risk it. It is claimed that on the mud this option is poorly controlled.

Winter tires for UAZ

UAZs are driven a lot and often. Most change to them from the Niva. And after all, there is something to love these models for - high ground clearance, excellent cross-country ability and many other advantages. People think about buying winter clothes when it's cold outside. There is no specific time to choose. Therefore, people go to stores and buy what is on the counter. This approach is fundamentally wrong. In stores very often they offer only what urgently needs to be sold. Often, the owners of "Loafs" prefer the products of a domestic manufacturer.

Many people buy I-192. It has a serious appearance, and the tread pattern is quite aggressive. As for winter operation, such a tire slips and is very dangerous. Not suitable for the cold season. But winter tires on the Patriot are available in a wide range. And since the regular wheel size of the Loaf is 225/75 / R16, it is quite possible to apply these models not only on it, but also on other cars.

Nokian SUV and Hankook i Pike RW11

Nokian SUV is an improved version of the previous model, which received a lot of good reviews.

Last year, the tire managed to show that it was not made in vain. But at the same time, you need to remember that this is a budget solution. Suitable for winter in both studded and non-studded version.

This cannot be said about Hankook i Pike RW11. There are no spikes here. This is the so-called Velcro. Rubber is produced by a Korean manufacturer. The product is of good quality and is offered at affordable prices. The tire can be purchased at a price of 3 to 10 thousand rubles per unit. She has many positive reviews. The model performs well in winter - even in deep snow, on a rolled surface or on asphalt. This tire is optimal for cities, but it will not let you down on the road.

Conclusion

Here is such a choice of tires for UAZ cars today. In general, there is something to think about. There are budget solutions for the city, there are also options for extreme sportsmen. There is even a good selection of winter tires. Thus, your SUV will be in full combat readiness all year round. You just have to choose the right tires and change your shoes on time.

Buhammers - great cars for hunting, fishing and for those who live "forest gifts" - they collect mushrooms and berries for rent. The space in the back is simply unmeasured, taking 5-7 people into the wilderness is easy. However, absolutely unsuitable tires are installed on the car from the factory - all-weather Kama-219. In fact, this is neither fish nor meat - it’s not normal to drive through the mud, neither along the highway nor along the winter road.

Well, if you want to get much deeper into the forest off-road, the tires will definitely need to be changed. Therefore, in this article we will make a selection of mud tires of minimal and maximum size, which can be installed on the Loaf.

So, the standard tires are 225/75/R16, in inches it will be 29.3″. Thirty inches for a loaf is just tears, it is highly desirable to make at least a minimal refinement of the car in order to install at least 32″ tires. And there, how will it go, that you will get to 35″ - such a size is more than optimal, the ground clearance will increase very realistically. But let's not talk about the lift and cutting the arches for now, first let's look at what kind of tires there are in size 225/75/R16 and close to it, but not requiring modifications.

Cordiant Off Road

A versatile mud tire that revolutionized the offroad world. Completely conquered the lower price segment, because there are practically no competitors. It is available in the size 225/75/R16, for the money everything is fine here, the rubber is worth the money completely.

For the initial off-road and go fishing this size and this rubber is enough. This is a pure mud tire, it is not recommended to ride it in winter. It rows chic in the mud, but the “slippers” are extremely oak and it will be uncomfortable to etch on a specific off-road. In general, it can be recommended to those who do not want to mess with the modifications of the car. As they say — set, sat down and went. You will go much further than on Kama-219.

Contyre Expedition

The tread pattern is one-on-one with Cordiants, as well as with the first Goodrich. Also available in regular Bukhanov size. However, Contyres are really better than Cords, because they are noticeably lighter and softer. However, the size here is slightly smaller than the declared one, so compared to the Cords, you will lose about half a centimeter in clearance. For the standard tire size, this is not critical at all, so instead of Cords, it is quite possible to put Contyre Expedition.

Cooper Discoverer STT

Chic American mud, but quite expensive and to put such expensive tires in such a small size is highly not recommended. If you have already decided to put Cooper, then here is a normal size for a Loaf - 265/75/R15, in inches it is 30.6″.

To install all you need to cut the arches, you won’t even need to do any elevator. Nevertheless, if you decide to set the standard size, there is also a Cooper 225/75/16. However, the 265th size is essentially optimal. If we still increase the dimensions, then we look in the direction of increasing the profile - 80 and 85.

On the 16th discs there are tires of excellent size, for the installation of which you will have to prepare the machine a little. Elevator or cutting arches, and even very large sizes - both.

Omskshina I-192

Legendary "pyataki", purely UAZ rubber for laborers. The size is unusual - 215/90/R15 (in inches it is 30.2″). A narrow and tall tire, you can often see it on Loafs, Hunters and 469s. Classics of the UAZ genre. The dirt is excellent, and if it is also cut, it starts digging like an excavator. Put at all without alterations, set and went. Great budget option. To whom the excellent cross-country ability of these tires is not enough, the “pyataks” may well cut through one side checker - there will be fire in general!

Omskshina Ya-245

Another classic of the genre, of course, you can’t say from the tread pattern that the tire is passable, but the Uazovody are enterprising people, and therefore they manage to make “all-terrain” rubber out of such rubber - it’s enough just to cut the tires correctly. The cut Ya-245 is really similar to the Simex Jungle Trekker 2. The size of the “Yasheks” is 215/90 / R15 (30.2 ″), it is most often bought “for cutting” - a great option how to put extreme tires on the Buhammer inexpensively. We highly recommend.

BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2

New model Goodrich, which replaced the T / A KM. An excellent size for Bukh is 265/75/R16, in inches it is already 31.6″. To install such a good rubber, you can limit yourself to sharp arches. Goodrich of this modification is specially designed for mountainous terrain, for stones and serpentines. However, it kneads the dirt well, but when compared with extreme rubber, the difference will be simply colossal. Considering that such a size of Goodrich will cost you a very serious amount, it’s better to add a little more and put Simeks (about them below).

For off-road fans who decide to prepare Buchanter more seriously, we recommend that you pay attention to R15 tires, there is much more choice here. However, let's agree right away - we are not afraid to cut the arches and put a summary of 30-32 ″)) In this part of the selection, we will consider rubber in the amount of 30-32 ″ on R15 rims.

Federal Couragia M/T

Available in 265/75/R15 (30.6″) and 255/80/R15 (31.1″). Who needs it, there are also large sizes.

It is optimal to take the second one - there is a little more clearance, and the improvements are exactly the same - just cutting arches. Those who do not want to cut arches can make an elevator, but remember that out of 2 evils (cutting or elevator), the elevator is many times worse, because handling and safety in corners and rolls deteriorate.

Dried apricots are a serious MUD rubber, not extreme, but much better than the Goodrichs in terms of cross-country ability. Very soft, and therefore perfectly flattened on the road. Still, getting into the wilderness without grass wheels is rarely possible. Couragia M/T is not a pop, it's a serious rubber, on it off-roaders on the Oise won competitions, doing even cars with extreme training and the same tires.

Well, let's consider, of course, the rubber of the "extreme" class in large sizes- only for prepared machines. Cutting the arches, lifting the suspension or body - all this will need to be done to install these "chic" sneakers, which also cost a lot.

Forward Safari 500

An analogue of the famous Simeks is purely extreme rubber, our domestic, and therefore very cheap compared to imported counterparts. The only size is 265/75/R15. Of the benefits - smartly digs dirt, clay, does not wash out, inexpensive. Of the minuses — very oaky and hellishly heavy. As a budget option for those who want to seriously increase cross-country ability without critical investments.

Simex Extreme Trekker 2

Size 275/80/R15 is 32.3″ in inches. A serious size, and the rubber itself is just fire. A classic of the off-road genre, everyone wants to put it on, but not everyone has the financial means, because the rubber itself will cost from 50k per set, and even the preparation of the car will result in certain expenses.

Simex Jungle Trekker 2

Jungles are a very desirable rubber, just top class. In the mud they are really good, pure extreme class. The side lugs are simply monstrous, thanks to them it comes out of the rut without any problems at all. There are simply no pros, but there are no cons at all. So if you are looking for extreme all-terrain tires for Bukhanka, pay attention to the Jungle Trekker. The only thing - keep in mind that the sizes here are really huge. Minimum is 31×9.5-16, minimum on R15 is 31×9.5-16. Therefore, in order to put the Jungle - Loaf will have to be specifically finalized. However, if you do this, you can leave for such wilds where no one except you will get))

As you call the car, so it will go. Familiar situation. True, without wheels, and even more so without tires, it is already becoming problematic. In any car, tires are the little thing that is strategically needed.

Let's see what tires can be used if your car is UAZ Loaf

Optimum tire pressure

Why is it important to consider tire pressure levels? An experienced driver knows that this affects the wear of the tread and the patency of the car as a whole.

The most optimal tire pressure, for example, for SUVs on the front wheels is no more than 1.7 atmospheres if you have tires with an index (production of Yaroslavl) and 1.9 (if other manufacturers).

The rear tires are 2.2 for tires manufactured in Yaroslavl and 2.4 - 2.5 for other manufacturers.

Tire size

The next task for the motorist is to choose the optimal tire size. What are needed?

Factory tires on the UAZ “Loaf” are installed with a size of 225/75 R16, while some models have 235/74 R15 tires. It is important to remember here that the diameter of the disc is in the region of 29-33 inches.

History knows situations when tires with a size R17 were used, but this was not developed. If the maximum suspension travel is allowed, then the rubber will touch the arches themselves.

Thus, any modification of the Loaf is equipped with 16-inch steel wheels with an indicator of 5 × 139.7. In other cases, they can be replaced with R17 and R18 wheels with similar numbers and tire size 225/75 R16.

Will all tires fit?

Now it is important for us to understand what kind of tires can be installed on our “Loaf, which manufacturer, so that these tires serve us as long as possible? It is important to understand here.

If you are not too lazy to go to the nearest car market and walk around the malls, then you will see a grandiose picture of the assortment and all kinds of tire options before your eyes. Literally you will be stunned by the choice, the variety of manufacturers.

So what to do? The main factor will be the conditions under which the machine will be operated.

There are many manufacturers. But can everyone be trusted? For example, you can put universal rubber: Bel-24 235/75 R15. Among the advantages: high wear resistance, resource up to 60 thousand km. “I-502 with size 225/85 R15. Model Ya560 with increased maximum speed.

There is a variant of the Ya-357A installation, which is distinguished by better speed and the ability to load up to 1060 kgf. “I245” and “I245-1” are also suitable.

Any driver who respects himself and others on the road must constantly take care of his car and do for him only what will be beneficial, and not harmful.

Mud tires for UAZ Loaf - 10 popular models R15 and R16

Buhammers are excellent vehicles for hunting, fishing, and for those who live "by the gifts of the forest" - they collect mushrooms and berries for rent. The space in the back is simply unmeasured, taking 5-7 people into the wilderness is easy. However, absolutely unsuitable tires are installed on the car from the factory - all-weather Kama-219. In fact, this is neither fish nor meat - it’s not normal to drive through the mud, neither along the highway nor along the winter road.

Well, if you want to get much deeper into the forest off-road, the tires will definitely need to be changed. Therefore, in this article we will make a selection of the minimum and maximum size mud tires that can be installed on a Loaf.

So, the standard tires are 225/75/R16, in inches it will be 29.3″. Thirty inches for a loaf is just tears, it is very desirable to make at least a minimal refinement of the car in order to install rubber at least 32″. And there, how will it go, that you will get to 35″ - such a size is more than optimal, the ground clearance will increase very realistically. But let's not talk about the lift and cutting the arches for now, first let's look at what kind of tires there are in size 225/75/R16 and close to it, but not requiring modifications.

Cordiant Off Road

A versatile mud tire that revolutionized the offroad world. Completely conquered the lower price segment, because there are practically no competitors. It is available in the size 225/75/R16, for the money everything is fine here, the rubber is worth the money completely.

For the initial off-road and go fishing this size and this rubber is enough. This is a pure mud tire, it is not recommended to ride it in winter. It rows chic in the mud, however, “the slippers are extremely oak and it will be uncomfortable to be poisoned on a specific off-road. In general, it can be recommended to those who do not want to mess with the modifications of the car. As they say - put, sat down and went. You will go much further than on Kama-219.

Contyre Expedition

The tread pattern is one-on-one with Cordiants, as well as with the first Goodrich. Also available in regular Bukhanov size. However, Contyres are really better than Cords, because they are noticeably lighter and softer. However, the size here is slightly smaller than the declared one, so compared to the Cords, you will lose about half a centimeter in clearance. For the standard tire size, this is not critical at all, so instead of Cords, it is quite possible to put Contyre Expedition.

Cooper Discoverer STT

A chic American mud jacket, however, it is quite expensive and we do not recommend putting such expensive tires in such a small size. If you have already decided to put Cooper, then here is a normal size for a Loaf - 265/75/R15, in inches it is 30.6″.

To install all you need to cut the arches, you won’t even need to do any elevator. Nevertheless, if you decide to set the standard size, there is also a Cooper 225/75/16. However, the 265th size is essentially optimal. If we increase the dimensions, then we look in the direction of increasing the profile - 80 and 85.

On the 16th discs there are tires of excellent size, for the installation of which you will have to prepare the machine a little. An elevator or cutting arches, and even very large sizes - both.

Omskshina I-192

Legendary "pyataki", purely UAZ rubber for laborers. The size is unusual - 215/90/R15 (in inches it is 30.2″). A narrow and tall tire, you can often see it on Loafs, Hunters and 469s. Classics of the UAZ genre. The dirt is excellent, and if it is also cut, it starts digging like an excavator. Put at all without alterations, set and went. Great budget option. For those who have not enough and so excellent cross-country ability of these tires, they may well “cut nickels through one side checker - there will be fire in general!

Omskshina Ya-245

Another classic of the genre, of course, you can’t say from the tread pattern that the tire is passable, but Uazovody are enterprising people, and therefore they manage to make “all-terrain” rubber out of such rubber - it’s enough just to cut the tires correctly. The chopped I-245 is really similar to the Simex Jungle Trekker 2. The size of the “Yashek” is 215/90 / R15 (30.2 ″), it is most often bought “for cutting” - a great option, how to put extreme tires on the Buhammer inexpensively. We highly recommend.

BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2

A new model of the Goodrichs, which replaced the T / A KM. An excellent size for Bukh is 265/75/R16, in inches it is already 31.6″. To install such a good rubber, you can limit yourself to sharp arches. Goodrich of this modification is specially designed for mountainous terrain, for stones and serpentines. However, it kneads the dirt well, but when compared with extreme rubber, the difference will be simply colossal. Considering that such a size of Goodrich will cost you a very serious amount, it’s better to add a little more and put Simeks (about them below).

For off-road fans who decide to prepare Buchanter more seriously, we recommend that you pay attention to R15 tires, there is much more choice here. However, let's agree right away - we are not afraid to cut arches and put a summary of 30-32 ″)) In this part of the selection, we will consider rubber in the amount of 30-32 ″ on R15 rims.

Federal Couragia M/T

Available in 265/75/R15 (30.6″) and 255/80/R15 (31.1″). Who needs it, there are also large sizes.

It is optimal to take the second one - a little more clearance, and the improvements are exactly the same - just cutting arches. Those who do not want to cut arches can make an elevator, but remember that out of 2 evils (cutting or elevator), the elevator is many times worse, because handling and safety in corners and rolls deteriorate.

Dried apricots are a serious MUD rubber, not extreme, but much better than the Goodrichs in terms of cross-country ability. Very soft, and therefore perfectly flattened on the road. Still, getting into the wilderness without grass wheels is rarely possible. Couragia M/T is not a pop, it's a serious rubber, off-roaders on the Oise won competitions on it, even doing cars with extreme training and the same tires.

Well, let's consider, of course, tires of the "extreme" class in large sizes - only for prepared cars. Cutting arches, lifting the suspension or body - all this will need to be done to install these "chic sneakers that also cost a lot.

Forward Safari 500

An analogue of the famous Simeks is purely extreme rubber, our domestic, and therefore very cheap compared to imported counterparts. The only size is 265/75/R15. From the pros - smartly digs dirt, clay, does not wash out, inexpensive. Of the minuses - very oaky and hellishly heavy. As a budget option for those who want to seriously increase cross-country ability without critical investments.

Simex Extreme Trekker 2

Size 275/80/R15 is 32.3″ in inches. A serious size, and the rubber itself is just fire. A classic of the off-road genre, everyone wants to put it on, but not everyone has the financial means, because the rubber itself will cost from 50k per set, and even the preparation of the car will result in certain expenses.

Simex Jungle Trekker 2

Jungles are a very desirable rubber, just top notch. In the mud they are really good, pure extreme class. The side lugs are simply monstrous, thanks to them it comes out of the rut without any problems at all. There are simply no pros, but there are no cons at all. So if you are looking for extreme all-terrain tires for Loaf - pay attention to the Jungle Trekker. The only thing - keep in mind that the sizes here are really huge. Minimum is 31×9.5-16, minimum on R15 is 31×9.5-16. Therefore, in order to put Jungle - Loaf, you will have to specifically modify it. However, if you do this, you can leave for such wilds, where no one except you will get))

What tires are better to put on UAZ

During the operation of the car, I tried a lot of what kind of rubber and for myself I have already made a choice which rubber is better to put on UAZ. I don't experiment anymore. Tried not only by manufacturers, but also brands.

Manufacturers first. During the acquisition of the car, there was not much choice and I had to take basically what is. And the rubber “Voltyre I-245” was distributed, the quality, while it was disgusting. It could have become covered with cracks in a year of mileage, followed by a breakthrough of the side walls. At the same time, tires of this brand installed from the factory took several years to wear out.

Although this rubber is described as winter, but for me, it goes more like an all-season, as it goes well in mud and snow, and also holds the road. After wear and tear, he never returned to Voltyre.

Then I bought tires from SIBUR - OJSC Omskshina of the same model Ya-245. At the same time, she stands with them like a summer one. And everything would be fine, but a hernia appeared on 2 out of 5 balloons. The rest honestly worked the whole time.

Then it was the turn of the rubber “Kama, back again, of the same model. Why back this one? I liked it. As already said, it holds the road well, it’s not too bad in the mud and, most importantly, it’s not very noisy on asphalt. So far, there are no complaints about the quality, but it is understandable, since it is still somewhat more expensive. So if there is a question, what kind of rubber is better to put on UAZ, try this one first.

But for off-road in strong mud, it is better to purchase something more serious. The last purchase of rubber for my UAZ a 3303 is "Contyre Expedition". Her marking is Expedition 215/65 R16 98Q. I put it only from late autumn to spring. You can't imagine better tires for UAZ off-road. The car goes confidently in the mud and snow. The noise level on asphalt is slightly higher, but not by much. In principle, you can install in the summer.

Excellent all-weather for UAZ Contyre Expedition

I had to put Voltyre VS-5 tires for the summer. The car goes smoothly, but riding it in the mud is just awful.

Of course, my opinion may not be very objective, but I hope the article will help someone decide which one is better to install tires on your UAZ.

The choice of stamped wheels and rubber for UAZ Loaf

UAZ Loaf (UAZ-452/2206/3741/3909/3962) - truly legendary car. Produced at the Ulyanovsk plant since 1965, it has not lost its popularity today. The car combines such qualities as increased cross-country ability and excellent capacity, which makes it indispensable for traveling, hunting, fishing in off-road conditions.

But the car really reveals its advantages after various modifications that allow expanding the range of its capabilities: self-blocks that improve off-road driving, springs and elongated shock absorbers that make the car’s suspension softer, off-road tires with discs that increase the car’s cross-country ability, body lift, winches, bumpers, etc. All these improvements make it possible to make a prepared off-road SUV out of an ordinary UAZ.

But no matter what tuning is installed on the UAZ 452, it is necessary, first of all, to approach the choice of wheels very carefully. If you have decided on the size of the tires, it's time to start selecting wheels. Every motorist knows that right choice wheel rims depend on very important indicators of an SUV:

Driving safety;

The ability to easily overcome rough terrain and off-road.

Optimal choice- steel off-road wheels for UAZ Loaf. They are great for driving in the most extreme conditions: when hitting various obstacles, they deform only at the point of contact. This damage is easily eliminated by balancing or rolling the disc, which cannot be said, for example, about alloy wheels.

Today, Off Road Wheels steel discs for UAZ Bukhanka are produced in various sizes, for any tires, with positive and negative offset. They are made from two stamped solid steel sheets, which are joined by welding.

Before purchasing rims, you can compare in our calculator the compatibility of all characteristics with rubber parameters, technical features of the body, chassis. The possible behavior of your UAZ Loaf on off-road routes will depend on compliance with all these nuances.

The choice of disks will be divided into two parts:

1. If you plan to install disc brakes, then buy 16” or 17” ORW disks at UAZ Loaf, suitable for bolt pattern (5x139.7).

2. If you do not plan to install disc brakes, then in addition to the discs described above, it is possible to install ODS discs of 15 diameters.

Their main advantage is that Off Road Wheels are stronger and more reliable than standard regular ones.

Today, many car owners are tuning the UAZ Loaf.

One of the first problems is the replacement of standard, narrow 215/90/15 wheels with wide off-road tires, which will significantly increase the cross-country ability. To do this, you need to replace the factory stamped wheels with off-road ones. Wheels are selected depending on the rubber:

30 inches.

Wheels 30x9.5x15 are installed on the car without modifications. Recommended discs:

16x8 ET +15, 15x7 ET0, 15x8 ET0, 16x7 ET +30, 16x8 ET 0

To install wheels 31 inches (265x70x16) you need to play with the parameters. We recommend metal wheels for UAZ Loaf with a negative offset:

15x8 ET -19, 15x8 ET-25, 16x8 ET -19, 16x8 ET -25

32-33 inches.

The next stage of the wheel 32-33 inches, involves the refinement of the car's suspension, body lift, installation of arch extensions, and suspension, spring spacers, trimming the arches. The classic size that many Loafers strive for is 33x10.5 (285x75x16).

15x8 ET-40, 15x8 ET-25, 16x8 ET-25, 16x10 ET-44

35 inches.

The 35 inch wheels transfer a very high load to the drives, axles and Loaf box. To install them, portal bridges and beadlock discs are often used, for example, 15x8 5x139.7 ET-40

Whatever ORW wheels you choose for your UAZ Bukhanka, they are guaranteed to provide you with safety, increase the stability of the car, and also give it a stylish appearance.

You can buy stamped ORW wheels for UAZ Bukhanka on our website or order from a dealer.
