Russia is a country of four seasons. Summer here can be extremely hot, autumn and spring - "please" with numerous precipitations, and winter is completely covered with snow and frankly disappoints with ice. Before the owner of Renault Logan, the question of choosing seasonal tires at a low price and with good characteristics arises sharply. Read about everything you need to know when choosing tires for Renault Logan in this article.
Renault Logan is a budget car: the manufacturer used inexpensive materials, components and parts to keep the price of the car as low as possible.
In order to smoothly translate this thesis into the mainstream of the article, it should be said about the rubber that is supplied to the plant and put on the Logans that came off the assembly line. In general, the car in question is unique in that it is assembled in several countries at once, and tires suitable for a specific climate are supplied to each of the factories.
In Russian weather conditions, the manufacturer had to fork out and put rubber on the cars assembled in our country, which will have a maximum resource and perform well both in summer heat and in extreme cold and ice.
When asked which tires are standard on all Renault Logans, dealers shrug their shoulders: the manufacturer periodically changes suppliers of components and, depending on the situation, the models of supplied tires differ. On the second generation Renault Logan (since 2014), summer tires Barum were most often installed on the radii recommended by the manufacturer: 14 and 15. 
Dry numbers
Sooner or later, the owner is faced with the question of choosing new tires. Regardless of the season, the basic principle remains: the only sizes that fit this model are r14 and r15.
For Renault Logan on tires of any radius, a combination of parameters 185/65 is recommended. For those who have never encountered a choice of tires, this inscription does not say anything at all. However, for r14 and r15 tires, these parameters are basic and should be taken into account: with improperly assembled wheels, the car will not drive as it should.
The first number before the fraction sign indicates the width of the tire in millimeters. If the parameter does not match, in one case the wheel will bulge out of the body, otherwise it will go too deeply into the wheel arch. This is fraught not only with a deterioration in appearance, but also with the emergence of a potential hazard when driving and loss of stability.
The second indicator is the height of the profile of the rubber itself. It is mistakenly assumed that this is the distance from the wheel rim to the outer edge of the wheel, expressed in millimeters, but in fact the number 65 means the percentage of the height of the section from the width of the tire. There are also low profile models for the 15th radius, which guarantee more handling at the expense of comfort, softness and quietness. 
Not an easy choice
When choosing tires of 14 and 15 radius, a natural question arises: is it possible to deviate from the characteristics recommended by the manufacturer?
The question should be rephrased: what is the permissible deviation from the standard parameters? The position of the manufacturer is expected: it is strictly forbidden to ignore the recommendations. Otherwise, fuel consumption will increase, dynamics and other vital indicators of vehicle performance will deteriorate.
The manufacturer's claims are by no means groundless. The parameters of tires of 14 and 15 radius are selected in such a way that the car reaches the peak of its capabilities.
It is the height of the profile that undergoes the main changes among the dimensions. Moreover, it can vary in both directions. The low profile is set for the sake of a catchy and sporty appearance, and its use on smaller discs saves a lot of money and slightly reduces the vehicle's ground clearance. According to some owners, this appearance looks much more advantageous than the standard one.
Increasing the profile size a little more often for two main reasons.
First, a higher profile tire costs less, and tuning like this is a good way to save money.
The second reason is the increase in ground clearance. A car like Renault Logan is mainly used in family trips to the country and shopping and should drive on light off-road without "hovering" on the sharp ledges of the road.
Tire resizing is usually done when a low profile is to be set. Often it is necessary to increase the area of the contact patch between the wheel and the roadway in order to improve the stability and driving properties of the car. However, this is fraught with increased fuel consumption.
Summing up
The selection of rubber, its size and parameters is an important issue that sooner or later every Renault Logan owner will have to consider. To avoid possible mistakes in the future, it is enough to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and advice in the article.
It is planned to install tubeless tires with a modification of 165/80 R14 and a profile of 60-80 mm. This applies to cars with an engine capacity of 1.4 l³. In addition to the factory parameters, it is allowed to replace tires for Renault Logan, which have parameters 185/70 R14, as well as 175/70 R14. Tires for Renault car wheels are usually selected depending on some parameters - these are diameter, profile height and width. Failure to comply with the requirements established by the manufacturer of this car, deteriorates the car's handling, maneuverability and grip of the car. Nowadays, more than 50 manufacturers in the world can offer a huge selection of tires for winter, summer and all-season rubber options.
Taking into account the wishes of the owner, weather conditions and the nature of the car's advancement, the tread pattern on the tires is selected.
The surface of the tires should not be heavily worn, this is dangerous while driving. Therefore, it is the pattern that contributes to the adhesion of the tread to the road, and it is also able to ensure optimal driving behavior. Based on the driving manual, which is adopted in Russia, the value of the tread depth of tires is not less than 1.6 mm over the entire surface of the tire. The safest for driving is considered to be a tire depth of 2 mm.
Standard sizes of tires, rims and wheels for Renault Logan
On Renault Logan, rims are installed in sizes 6J x15 or 5.5J x14. Disk parameters: PCD 4 × 100, its diameter is 14-15, width is 5J-6J, and the offset is 38-50. There is also an option to replace the factory disk sizes with disks with the following parameters:
- 6.5 × 15 ET 40,
- 6.6 × 14 ET 38,
- 7 × 15 ET 35
The radius of all discs is from 14 to 15 inches. You can make tuning discs. The disc size is indicated on the outside. There is also a complete characteristic of the wheel rim, namely the wheel offset in mm, the diameter of the center hole, the diameter of the center circle of all mounting holes, the number of holes intended for mounting, as well as the presence of humps, the rim diameter measured in inches, the profile designation and the landing width rim.
Tire rims are usually reliable and durable so they don't need any maintenance. They only need to be cleaned as they become dirty and must be checked for damage and cracks.
Wheels for Renault Logan produced by stamping from sheet steel with compulsory welding.
But gradually there is a replacement for such wheels, which are made of aluminum alloy. They are able to provide the permissible geometry parameters and the best wheel runout parameters.
Magnesium discs have one serious drawback - they quickly corrode when the protective varnish is damaged. Wheels are the same size as disc sizes - 14-15.
Many foreigners find themselves only in Russia. It also happens with foreign car brands. One of these is Renault Logan. Having appeared for the first time, Russian motorists looked closely at him for some time, and then all at once recognized in this "Russianized French" their own. And they began to treat him with love and shoe his "legs" only in high-quality and proven rubber.
In this review you will find all the information you need - tire sizes for Renault Logan, prices, as well as a selection of proven summer and winter tires.
"Foot size" Renault Logan and normal tire pressure
The "leg" of this "Russianized" Frenchman is not very big, so the following tire sizes will fit:
On fourteen-inch drives:
- 165 / 80R14
- 185 / 70R14
For fifteen-inch disks:
- 185 / 65R15.
- 185 / 70R15.
According to the automaker, the permissible air pressure standards for Renault Logan tires are:
- For size 165 / 80R14 front axle wheels 2.0, in rear axle tires 2.0.
- For size 185/65 R15 front axle wheels 2.0, in rear axle tires 2.2.
Below are some proven winter tire options for Renault Logan:
Neshipovka
Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3
Friction clutch. Available in "T", "H", "V" versions according to the speed index. Positioned as winter tires for high-speed driving. Has the following features:
The directionality of the protector.
The rubber is based on silica.
Deep tread pattern.
No aquaplaning thanks to the arrow-shaped tread sipes that intersect and are scattered throughout the pattern.
The cost of one tire for Renault Logan will be 3300 rubles.
Fulda kristall montero 
Frictional type. It is a development of the previously popular Krictall Gravito model. Compared to her, Fulda Kristall Montero has the following features:
The tread has longitudinal grooves high in depth. Thanks to this, the controllability and the level of resistance to aquaplaning increased by a quarter.
Each of the main grip sipes has multiple edges.
All tread elements ensure uniform contact with the road. Thanks to this, the service life has increased by a quarter.
The cost of such a rubber model for Renault Logan is 2200 rubles.
Studded tires
Kama Euro 519
Let's start with the most budget rubber of domestic production. Very often in the city I see Logans, shod in inexpensive rubber. Why? But because Logans, at least in our city, are mostly driven by taxi drivers. Is there any point in putting expensive rubber on a working car? And Kama Euro is quite inexpensive - for 4 wheels you will pay 10-11 thousand rubles. 2500 per bottle is not a bad price. Moreover, Kama can be called a kind of workhorse - unkillable, digs snow well and also keeps well on the ice. Suitable for taxi drivers who drive around the city most of the time.
Yokohama Ice Guard IG35 
From a Japanese manufacturer. It is a novelty of the last year. Refers to a studded type of winter tire. Features of Yokohama Ice Guard IG35:
The tread pattern is directional.
The tread consists of the so-called "3D lamellas", which have multifaceted working surfaces on three sides. This improves the handling of the car on snow and ice.
The minimization of the dropping out of the pins is achieved by placing the tabs near the base of each of them.
Semi-radial tread grooves maximize the drainage of water and snow away from the contact point.
The rubber has received a unique composition to achieve maximum rigidity of the structure not only of the tread, but also of the stud base. The cost of one tire of this model for Renault Logan will be 2700 rubles.
Goodyear Ultra Grip Extreme 
On the market since 2007. It is produced on the basis of the Ultra Grip 500. Compared to it, the Goodyear Ultra Grip Extreme has the following features:
Noise is reduced by 9% and braking distance is reduced by 6.5% thanks to the well-modeled two-row stud arrangement.
The directional tread significantly increases the stability of the car on a winter road and improves the removal of snow and water from the contact zone.
The new composition largely contributes to the reduction of noise when driving on dry surfaces.
In many comparative tests, this model took one of the first places.
One tire of such a model on a Renault Logan will cost 3200 rubles.
Having put on his "Frenchman" in such rubber, he will not be afraid of either the fierce Russian winters or the harsh roads of Russia.
Most drivers do not know the exact characteristics of the wheel of their car, including the size of Renault Logan wheels, but this information is required when it comes to servicing or repairing a car. It is indicated in the passport, but not everyone has instructions, because many motorists prefer to buy used cars. Also, the driver often needs to find out the radius of the wheels that are suitable for Renault Logan, in addition to the traditional standard characteristics.
Renault Logan manufacturer "shoes" in tubeless tires R14 160/80. This also applies to models with a 1.4-liter power unit, and cars with a 1.6-liter engine. In addition to the parameters set by the manufacturer, the size of Renault Logan rubber can be:
- R14 185/70;
- R14 175/70.
To select new tires, you need to know the width, height and diameter. The passport does not indicate the size of the disks that can be installed instead of the standard ones. This is explained by the fact that freelance rubber can negatively affect the grip of the wheels with the road, as well as the maneuverability and handling of the car. A slight deviation from the parameters set by Renault will not lead to unpleasant consequences.
Wheel characteristics
Before choosing a tire size for Renault Logan, you need to familiarize yourself with the detailed standard characteristics of the wheels that are worn at the factory. For Rtnault Logan, the standard parameters are 6Jx15 or 5.5Jx15. These characteristics also include PCD diameter 4x100 from 14 to 15, width from 5J to 6J, and offset from 38 to 50. Renault Logan owners can purchase the following models instead of factory wheels:
- 7.15 ET 35;
- 6.5x15 ET 40;
- 6.6x14 ET38.
The wheel can be 14 "or 15". The main parameters, including the required number of holes for fasteners, landing diameter, overhang and diameter of the central hole, can be found on its outer side. Data is always given in millimeters. There you can also read the designation of the profile, whether there are humps, what is the landing width of the rim.
Factory Renault Logan 15-inch wheels are made from sheet steel by stamping. Welding is used in the production process. However, the best option is considered to be the choice of wheels made of aluminum alloy, since they provide optimal parameters, excluding geometry deviations that negatively affect the driving process. If we talk about magnesium discs, it should be noted that they are more susceptible to corrosion.
Before choosing the wheel size for Renault Logan, you need to do a little comparative analysis. The fifteen-inch wheels for the Renault Logan are characterized by a distinctive soft ride. In addition, the size of the disc changes the appearance of the car, the R15 wheels make it taller and more representative. If we discuss R14 wheels, it should be noted that the car becomes more sensitive to road irregularities, the acceleration of the car slows down.
The considered car model can also be shod in R16 wheels. Such discs visually enlarge the car, it becomes not like its "brothers". However, experts recommend choosing the size of the Renault Logan R15 wheels, since it is he who is the best option that does not degrade ride characteristics and is suitable for the requirements for freelance tires.
Renault Logan is a dream car. Of course, excellent tuning is suitable for such a car, but wheels are one of its main elements. The size of the disks will give a special style to the car, and there are a huge number of options on Renault Logan. I would like to start with the fact that the simplest and most inexpensive option in this matter is regular disks, in the common people known as "stamping". The nominal size of Renault Logan R14 and R15 disks.
Of course, one cannot ignore the more popular alloy wheels among motorists, which have a special appeal. Let's start with the smallest disk size, which is the fourteenth. Wheels with this size on Renault Logan are good for any kind of track, be it gravel, asphalt, sand or dirt. The driver feels the road perfectly, there is no extraneous noise and no vibration in the cabin.
The fifteenth size discs on Renault Logan have surprising softness compared to other cars of the same class. The size of the disc clearly changes the look of the car, the R15 gives the advantage in height. If we talk about the sensitivity of the car to different types of roads, then there are no big changes in comparison with R14. The larger size of the discs will not in any way affect the driving style, will not decrease the comfort in the cabin. What will change is the speed, or rather the acceleration of the car will be much faster.
Now the largest of all is the sixteenth size. The beauty of such discs is dazzling, it is mesmerizing. Renault Logan with this size of disks is no longer similar to their smaller counterparts.
Of course, with such dimensions, you can no longer travel on different routes; city roads with a smooth surface, without any irregularities, are best suited. When driving on such discs on a not very good road, the car begins to shake, the driver feels every unevenness.
In addition, the suspension will deteriorate very quickly. The choice of the size of disks on Renault Logan is huge, and before purchasing disks of any size, you need to decide exactly how and where you will travel by car.
