Each car owner is well aware of the importance of choosing the right tires for his car. The stability and driving performance of the machine, as well as traffic safety, directly depend on this. Therefore, for each brand, the manufacturer must indicate the required wheel parameters, as well as a list of the most optimal tire and rim models. This list includes several types of rubber for different operating conditions.

Lada Vesta is a domestically produced sedan, which has been produced by the VAZ plant since 2015. A feature is the size of the Lada Vesta wheels with the parameters R16-R17, in contrast to earlier models, which are characterized by the use of the R13-R14 size.

Initially, this model was put on the market with 185/65/r15 wheels. Gradually, the manufacturer decided to switch to larger wheels on the Lada Vesta, reaching 16 - 17 inches. The decision to put discs of a different dimension made it possible to significantly increase Vesta's handling and stability on the road.

Features of standard tires

The Ladas delivered from the assembly line are equipped with Belarusian tires from the Belshina factory, which are designed specifically for this car and are of fairly high quality. Tires for Lada Vesta belong to the ART Motion brand in their type. This fact suggests that during the production process, rubber undergoes a series of tests in accordance with Spanish standards.

Tires in practice showed excellent parameters, guaranteeing a number of advantages:

High controllability, including on the asphalt filled with water. This is facilitated by special arcuate grooves located on the inside of each tire. These grooves play the role of a kind of drainage system through which water is removed from under the wheel.
On the outer part of the tire there are enlarged relief blocks that increase the stability of the machine on steep turns.
The tread is selected in such a way that the noise level is as low as possible.
Three longitudinal grooves are responsible for the directional stability of the machine;
Low rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption and improves speed performance.
Increased grip qualities provide a short braking distance and eliminate slippage.
An important role is played by the low cost of this rubber with a relatively high quality.

Lada Vesta in the "luxury" configuration is equipped with tires from the German manufacturer Continental in size 195/55/R16, which are among the best on the world market. The most suitable tire size and.

The factory equipment of the wheels includes 16 or 17-inch K&K alloy wheels. This company in the Russian market today occupies a leading position.

The choice of disks for Vesta

No matter how good the wheels on the Lada Vesta are, sooner or later they have to be changed. The harsh conditions of our roads have a negative impact on the life of any wheels. Also, some car owners have a desire to change the standard wheels of a new car to alternative ones with a different design.

exclusively 16 or 17-inch tires;
alloy wheels 175/70/R16 or 205/60/R16;
alloy wheels 175/55/R17 or 195/50/R

What discs are suitable for Vesta? The following models of rims can be considered the most suitable:

K&K Anna 15 6X15 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50;
K&K Ptalomey 16 6X16 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50;
K&K Ptalomey 17 6X17 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50.

The latest model differs in size, which changes the stability of the car for the better.

If winter tires are required for Lada Vesta, then it is better to choose narrower ones, as they have higher stability at low temperatures and slippery roads typical for winter conditions.

When buying rims for Lada Vesta, you should pay attention that the bolt pattern of Lada Vesta is somewhat different from that used previously. Wheel compatibility depends on which bolt pattern is used. These rims are designed for mounting with four bolts, and their dimensions correspond to the bolt sizes for Korean cars, which greatly expands the range of rims for this machine. The diameter of the fixing holes is 100 mm.

If there is a need to install discs made of light alloys, then here you can recommend the products of the PDW company, which specializes in the production of forged and cast discs for domestic brands of cars. Therefore, the parameters of PDW discs correspond to the standards adopted at VAZ to the maximum extent possible.

It should be remembered that the installation of wheels of an unsuitable larger diameter significantly reduces ride comfort, especially when driving over potholes and other irregularities. Increasing the width increases almost all the qualities of the wheel, except for stability on wet roads.

18" wheels

This disc size is used in the Lada Vesta "Concept" modification. The total wheel diameter is much larger than on other modifications and is 668.7 millimeters. The tire size in this case is 235/45/R18. And to replace them with 17-inch will not work.

It is important for any car owner to know how to choose the right tires for Lada Vesta. The stability of the car on the road, handling and traffic safety will depend on this. For any vehicle, the manufacturer indicates the optimal parameters for choosing wheels - matching tire and wheel sizes. The list also includes the type of rubber, depending on the conditions in which the car will be operated.

Specifications

For Lada Vesta, it is planned to install wheels with a diameter of R16 and R17. On previous models (Grant, Kalina), smaller tires were installed from the factory, no more than R14. Initially, the manufacturer put R15 discs on Vesta, but not so long ago it was decided to abandon them in order to increase the stability and controllability of the car.

Characteristics of regular tires

AvtoVAZ uses tires of the Belarusian manufacturer Belshina, the peculiarity of which is that they were developed for Vesta, they are characterized by good quality. By their variety, these tires belong to the ART Motion brand. This means that the products undergo a mandatory testing procedure based on EU standards. This rubber proved its quality in practice, demonstrating many advantages:

High level of controllability regardless of the condition of the coating. Additional drainage of water on wet asphalt is facilitated by grooves in the form of an arc on the inside.
On the outer side of the tire there are special blocks designed to increase stability in tight corners.
The protector provides the minimum noise at the movement.
3 grooves in the longitudinal direction are responsible for maintaining directional stability.
The maximum speed is improved, fuel consumption is reduced due to low rolling resistance.
Reduced braking distance due to increased grip.
Good quality at a relatively low price compared to foreign counterparts.

In the maximum configuration "Lux" Vesta, and in the middle configuration and Vesta Cross, it is equipped with tires from the German manufacturer Continental 195/55 / R16.

In the basic configuration, stamped wheels 6J 15 ET 50 4 × 100 60.1 are installed on the car. This index is deciphered as follows:

6J - rim width;
15 - landing diameter in inches;
ET50 - wheel offset - 50 mm;
4x100 - 4 mounting bolts, the diameter of their location is 100 mm. This is the bolt pattern on Lada Vesta. Installation of discs from previous models is not allowed, they use a 4x98 bolt pattern - boring and fitting will lead to beating during movement, vibration;
1 - diameter of the hole in the center.

Tires with a size of 195/55 R16 91H are put on these disks. The ratio of the sizes of wheels and disks is presented in the table:

Index T - speed up to 190 km / h, H - up to 210 km / h. The numbers from 88 to 91 are load indexes from 560 to 615 kg.

Every motorist should know how to check tire pressure. If it is weak, the wheel will come into contact with the road surface in a smaller area, traction and handling deteriorate. If the pressure is too high, the tire becomes too stiff, dynamic performance drops, and suspension parts wear out faster.

The manufacturer recommends maintaining a tire pressure of Lada Vesta equal to 2.1 atmospheres. Experienced drivers try to adjust the indicator on their own, depending on the driving style. To check the pressure, you need a pressure gauge. It is available at any auto parts store. You can contact a car service, where they will check the pressure, pump up the wheels if necessary, and test them for punctures.

Fitting oversized wheels

Tires with a larger diameter can dramatically change the appearance, as well as affect the dynamic performance, handling, stability. Drives larger than recommended by the manufacturer change these figures not for the better. Larger rims will require low profile tires. This is due to the fact that the outer diameter of the wheels on the Lada West cannot be more than that declared by the factory, otherwise they will simply not fit in the arches or rub against them on bumps and turns.

The maximum allowable diameter is R18, with a tire outer diameter of 670 mm and a width of 235 mm. The rubber of such wheels is low-profile and differs significantly from the regular one. Given the peculiarities of domestic roads, the installation of such wheels is of no practical use, their cost is higher, and they wear out faster.

The advantages and disadvantages can be summarized as follows:

appearance becomes more spectacular;
increase in dynamic characteristics (profile not less than 55%);
strengthening of return of a steering;
improving the functionality of exchange rate stability and anti-lock systems;
reduction in stopping distance.

Driving comfort with such discs is noticeably lower, tire pressure must be constantly monitored, and fuel consumption increases.

The choice of rubber for different operating conditions

Winter becomes a real headache for motorists, some prefer not to use a car during this period, while the rest have to buy winter tires. It is impossible to drive in the cold season on summer tires - their composition is not designed for low temperatures. Braking, starting, driving become impossible.

Selection of winter tires

Large tires can be installed on Vesta, but for the winter it is better to put smaller wheels. If R16 is used in summer, then R15 is recommended for winter. The width of the rubber is also chosen less. In winter, speed characteristics are not so important. Studded tires and the so-called Velcro are on the market. It is ideal for residents of big cities who rarely go off-road. Studs are not needed on paved roads. For those who often travel on snowy, icy roads, they are definitely necessary.

Choice of tread pattern

There are three types of drawing:

Tire tread pattern

Symmetric. Both sides of the pattern are the same, has the shape of a wave or jumpers. Equally effective on snow and ice. Loses its properties on snow porridge in spring or after treatment with reagents.
Directed. It is not afraid of snow, ice, and also does not lose its properties on snow porridge. Not suitable for use on dry pavement due to increased noise. The peculiarity of these tires is in the direction - they must be mounted strictly in the direction of the arrow, which is indicated on the lateral outer side of the product with the inscription "Rotation".
Asymmetrical. In addition to all the advantages of the described patterns, noise reduction and high speed characteristics are added. It is installed according to the marks indicating the inside and outside with inscriptions on the sides - "Inside" / "Outside". The only drawback is the high price.

In order to save money, you can use the directional option. If the budget allows, it is better to choose an asymmetric pattern.

Choice of spike sizes

An ordinary spike looks like a nail - this is the most common type. There are also other shapes - a square, a rectangle. At the same time, at speeds up to 60 km / h, the braking distance does not change in any way, and there is no point in paying more, because it is unsafe to increase speed in winter. Among the popular brands you can choose from the following:

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 - is in the middle price range, the estimated cost is from 4 to 5 thousand rubles;
Bridgestone Blizzak Spike-01 - from 3 thousand rubles;
Yokohama Ice Guard F700Z - average price - 2 thousand rubles;
Dunlop Ice Touch - average price - 2.7 thousand rubles;
Michelin X-Ice North 3 - 3-3.5 thousand rubles;
"Kama Euro" 519 and "Belshina" Bel-127 - up to 2 thousand rubles.

The choice is large, for high quality and the brand will have to pay a substantial amount. If the budget is limited, you can purchase tires for the winter of domestic production. They are cheaper, but this does not mean that their quality and efficiency are worse.

Selection of summer tires

Summer tires for cars are made from solid compounds, which is determined by temperature and speed conditions. These tires wear out more slowly, do not lose grip on hot asphalt. Such wheels have a pattern and tread depth different from winter ones.

Tire size

Choose the size according to the manufacturer's requirements. Alternative options are allowed, but different points should be taken into account in this plan:

If the outer diameter of the wheel is larger than the manufacturer allows, it will cling to the arch when driving through bumps and cornering.
When installing tires with a large width, friction along the arches will also be observed, which is unsafe and leads to rapid wear of the rubber.
Installing low profile tires will make the suspension too stiff, leading to undercarriage failure. But low-profile tires increase steering sensitivity, allowing you to better control the car when driving at high speeds. For driving on domestic roads, this is not the best option.
An excessively high profile reduces the efficiency of control, at high speed there is a high risk of losing the tire from the rim, which will lead to an accident. Properly selected rubber with a high profile increases the smoothness of movement, easily swallows all the pits and bumps, and is able to save the suspension resource.

Summer tires on Lada Vesta should be wider (within reasonable limits), this increases the contact patch with the road surface, improves dynamic performance. But this will lead to increased fuel consumption and the risk of hydroplaning even at low speed when driving through puddles. Based on this, we can conclude that when choosing the type of tires, many factors must be taken into account. In most cases, it is desirable to stop at the standard size recommended by the manufacturer. For the average driver of a car in urban mode, this is enough.

Protector selection

According to the type of pattern, there are symmetrical, asymmetric and directional protectors. An inexpensive option is a standard non-directional tire. It has average levels of handling, comfort and hydroplaning prevention. In terms of "price-quality" ratio for leisurely trips, it will be the best option. If necessary, tires can be placed on different sides.

The directional tread offers superior handling, comfort and aquaplaning prevention. One of the advantages of this pattern is the rapid removal of water from the tread. They are mounted in accordance with the direction of travel, so they cannot be mounted differently when changing the wheels between the right and left side. Otherwise, the security of control is drastically reduced.

Rubber with an asymmetric tread pattern is a versatile option with equally good handling and comfort on various road surfaces. The outer part consists of larger and stiffer blocks that improve cornering control. The tread pattern on the inside consists of smaller blocks, which effectively removes water, increasing traction on wet pavement. To ensure directional stability, there is a longitudinal stiffener in the middle. Such wheels can be rearranged from one side to the other. The only downside is the high price compared to directional and non-directional tires.

Among the popular brands of summer tires for Lada Vesta are:

TRIANGLE GROUP TR928 - the cost does not exceed 2.5 thousand rubles;
NOKIAN NORDMAN SX2 - from 3 thousand rubles;
MICHELIN ENERGY XM2 - from 3.5 thousand rubles;
YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR SUV G055 - from 7 thousand rubles;
HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO2 K12 - from 8 thousand rubles.

The most affordable option is Kama Euro and Belshina tires, the cost of which usually does not exceed 2 thousand rubles per tire.

The Lada Vesta car is a domestic sedan produced by the AatoVAZ plant in 2015. Unlike standard tires and wheels, the size of which did not exceed R13-R14, wheels were installed on this model, the parameters of which reached R16-R17. This is very important to know, especially for fans of alloy wheels.

Tires Lada Vesta

The first modifications of the Lada Vesta car were produced paired with R15 wheels, but after some time of operation, the developers of this model decided to slightly increase the size of the factory wheels and tires, up to R16-R17. This is directly related to increasing the stability of the car on the road, and improving its handling. Also, there was a version of the Lada Vesta "Concept", on which the wheel size reached R18.

Regardless of the configuration of the model, the quality of tires remains the best, so the difference in handling on different modifications of Lada Vesta is practically not significant. During the creation of this model, AvtoVAZ engineers turned to Belarusians for help in order to obtain the highest quality tires, under the well-known name "Belshina".

From that moment, Belarusian tires were installed on the Lada Vesta car, the parameters of which were as follows: 185/65 / R15. According to their type, they belonged to the well-known brand "ART Motion". This means that before installing these tires on a car, they underwent a series of tests prepared by Spanish design engineers.

For a long time of existence, Belshina tires have shown themselves quite well, and when installed on a Lada Vesta car, they add a number of the following positive characteristics:

High level of handling, on wet surfaces, and on a small layer of water. This effect is achieved due to the presence of special arc grooves located on the inside of the tires. When a wheel hits a puddle, the water will instantly leave from under it, through these grooves.
The outer side of the tire has several large textured blocks, which allows the Lada Vesta car not to lose control, even during a sharp turn at high speed.
A very big plus of these tires is the low noise level provided by the special tread design.
High course stability, which is achieved due to the presence of three longitudinal grooves.
Excellent dynamics of the car Lada Vesta, during idling. It is provided by wide convex grooves located along the tires.
Improved braking, affecting the reduction of the braking distance.
And the last, important plus of Belshina tires is that they have a rather low cost compared to other global brands, and a very high quality that is not inferior to the market.

In addition to Belshina tires, the Lux version of Lada Vesta is equipped with German-made tires from Continental, which occupies the 4th position among world tire manufacturers in the world.

The size of these tires and wheels is 195/55/R16. They belong to the Eco Contact category, and have the same good characteristics as Belshina.

Wheels Lada Vesta

In the factory version of the Lada Vesta car, alloy wheels are installed, the size of which is R16 and R17. These discs are manufactured by K&K, which is now the leader in the entire Russian market. It manufactures alloy wheels R16 and R17 for cars, including Lada Vesta, using injection molding.

In the "Luxury" version of Lada Vesta, there are two options for disks, the sizes of which are equal to R16 and R17:

K&K Anna 15 6X15 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50;
K&K Ptalomey 16 6X16 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50.

For an additional fee, a third version of the disks can also be installed on a Lada Vesta car: K&K Ptalomey 17 6X17 4X100 DIA 60 ET 50. By type, they are the same as the previous options - cast. But their size is slightly different, which positively affects the stability of the car.

After buying a Lada Vesta model, many people have a desire to replace standard alloy wheels with alternative ones that have the same size, but a completely different design. In this case, the recommended parameters for the wheels for Lada Vesta will be:

Rims R16, 175/70 and 205/60;
Rims R17 175/55 AND 195/50;
Tires, the size of which will be equal exclusively to R16 and R17, respectively.

As for the wheels for the concept version of Lada Vesta, their size should be R18 235/45. Such a wheel is significantly different from other versions of Lada Vesta, due to its large diameter - 668.7 mm. On the concept version, R17 wheels will not fit.

All recommendations given in this article relate to summer tires. But when choosing winter tires, owners of Lada Vesta will definitely face a number of problems. For example, narrow wheels are most suitable for this model, as they are more stable on slippery surfaces than a wide version.

To date, various discs for Lada Vesta are on the market. The main differences between them are the materials from which they are made, methods of manufacture and fastening, dimensions. To choose the right components for the car, you should know their sizes, presented in the table below.

	Tire dimensions with speed and load ratings	Dimension and parameters of disks		Air pressure in tires on front / rear wheels, MPa (kgf / cm 3)
		Rim Width (inches)	Rim offset ET, mm
Manufacturer's recommended parameters	175/70 R15 88H	6J	50	0,21/0,21	0,2/0,22
	185/60 R16 91H			(2,1/2,1)	(2,1/2,1)
Allowed parameters	185/65 R15 88T, H	5J, 5 1/2 J, 6J	50	0,21/0,21	0,21/0,21
	195/55 R16 87, 91T, H	5 1/2J, 6J		(2,1/2,1)	(2,1/2,1)

T - index of permissible speed within 190 km / h;

H - index of permissible speed within 210 km / h;

ET - rim offset, indicating the distance from the mating surface of the disk to the middle of its rim;

partial load - the presence of three adults in the cabin, without cargo in the trunk;

full load - the presence of more than three adults in the cabin, or the presence of three adults in the cabin and luggage weighing 50 kg or more (depending on the capacity of the luggage compartment).

The wheel is attached to the hub of the car using four bolts through the holes on the disk. It has four holes, the centers of which are located at a diameter of 100 mm.

The easiest and cheapest option is stamped steel wheels for Lada Vesta. They are made by stamping a mold. The external differences of the parts depend on the characteristics of the stamp, in accordance with its forms, the product acquires its final form. The main advantage of stamping is strength and resistance to external influences: abrasions, shocks, scratches.

Steel r15 discs are provided by the manufacturer when buying a car in the basic configuration. Recommended tire sizes are 175/70 R15. You can buy stampings in many service centers and stores by pre-ordering them on the store's website, where photos and prices are presented. The retail price in Moscow starts from 1,300 rubles apiece and can reach 2,500 rubles.

When buying discs, you should first clarify whether fasteners are included in the purchase price. Sometimes fasteners need to be purchased separately.

Popular alloy wheels on Lada Vesta are distinguished by a wide choice of design and diameter. They are made from a special alloy. In addition to the base metal aluminum, the alloy contains magnesium, strontium and titanium additives. The casting process takes place under high pressure, which contributes to the rapid solidification of the workpiece. With the help of computer modeling and milling, the part gets its final shape.

The multi-level manufacturing process of alloy wheels explains their high cost. They are lighter in weight, but have less resistance to mechanical damage.

Lada Vesta for casting is presented by the manufacturer in two versions:

r15 rollers are recommended for 175/70 R15 and 205/60 R15 tires;
r16 rims fit 185/60 R tires

On a note!
Alloy wheels 15 radius on Lada Vesta are provided when buying a car in the luxury package. For a fee, alloy wheels 16 radius can be installed as additional equipment on Lada Vesta.

You can buy alloy wheels for Lada Vesta in specialized centers and online stores, on whose websites photos of goods are presented. The average price for casting with a radius of R15 is 2500 - 4000 rubles, depending on the manufacturer and design. 16-inch rollers will cost the car owner more - from 3,500 to 6,000 rubles apiece.

Alternative wheel sizes

In pursuit of beauty and unusual appearance, the owners of Lada Vesta install rollers of the seventeenth and eighteenth radii. They provide for the presence of low-profile rubber, which is very sensitive to the slightest bumps in the road, which makes driving a car less comfortable.

Wheels r17

Quite often there are West cars with wheels with a radius of R17. They look noticeably larger than the standard fifteen inches. Recommended tire sizes for this type of casting are 175/55 R17, 195/50 R17. External features are shown in the photo of Lada Vesta on 17 discs. You can buy such shoes for cars for 5,000 rubles apiece, foreign-made goods with an exclusive design will cost 15-17 thousand.

Rims r18

For the first time, rollers of this size were presented at the Lada Vesta concept with 235/45 tires. Photo Lada Vesta on 18 discs clearly demonstrates the sporty design and dynamics of the car. Casting R18 is much more expensive than its "younger brothers" - from 9,000 rubles apiece.

Recently, it has become very popular to combine contrasting colors in car design. This fashion trend contributed to the release of rollers in different colors. On the Internet, you can find many photos with various color combinations for the car body and disc rim.

Disks on a white Lada Vesta are recommended to be set in contrasting black. Black casting favorably looks against the background of a white body. By the same principle, you can select disks on. White rollers will stand out brightly and attract the attention of others. The classic silver molding is suitable for cars of any color and is a universal option.

Among the numerous design innovations, the attention is drawn to the wheels on Vesta with a bright red edging along the edge of the rim and on the spokes. They are suitable for any color of the car body, but it is preferable to put them on a red car. This combination gives the car a sporty look and a unique personality. Even in dense city traffic, the car will stand out from the general flow and attract the views of others.

What affects the size of tires and wheels

Increasing the size of tires and rims will affect the operation of Lada Vesta in the following way:

Increasing the disc diameter has a positive effect on steering quality, road holding, but reduces the level of comfort on rough roads.
Increasing the rim width will also improve steering and road holding, but increase fuel consumption.
Increasing the tire width will also have a positive effect on handling, including on rough roads, and improve traction (in dry weather). At the same time, gas mileage and tire wear will increase, and hydroplaning resistance will suffer. The noise level will increase.

Cast and stamped wheels, summer tires for Lada Vesta - Characteristics and dimensions, which ones to buy?

Replacing tires and wheels with Lada Vesta should be carried out only in accordance with the table, which shows the permissible sizes. In addition, when replacing, you should be guided by the recommendations from AvtoVAZ, available in the manual.

Wheel parameters for Lada Vesta

The purchase of new tires and wheels for the domestic Lada Vesta model is a responsible undertaking, since the controllability of the car will largely depend on them. Consequently, only products with the characteristics recommended by AvtoVAZ can be put on Vesta. That is why, when replacing, it is necessary not only to focus on the table available in the manual, but also to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Table of acceptable tire sizes, disks for Lada Vesta, as well as tire pressure:

Tire size with indexes of carrying capacity and speed	Disk size		Air pressure in tires front / rear, MPa (kgf / cm 3)
	rim width (inches)	rim offset (ET).mm

Number of holes - 4; The diameter of the location of the centers of the mounting holes on the rim is 100mm.
* Speed indices - T (up to 190 km/h) and P (up to 210 km/h). Load indexes - from 88 to 560 kg and from 91 to 615 kg.

** ET (Rim Offset) is the distance measured from the rim plane (attachment) to the center of the rim.

*** Partial load - indicates the presence of three adults in the cabin, but without cargo in the luggage compartment.

**** Full load - means the presence of more than three adults in the car, or three adults and luggage in the luggage compartment weighing 50 or more.

For Lada Vesta, AvtoVAZ allows the installation of winter tires of types M and S with the dimensions indicated earlier, a speed limiter up to 160 km / h, and also the Q index.

What wheels to buy for Lada Vesta?

Disc selection

Choose the disc you like and click try on or buy. All presented models of disks coincide in size with factory recommendations.

R15 - stamped disc

R15 - beautiful alloy wheels for Vesta 15

R16 - beautiful alloy wheels for 16 under Lada Vesta

Pressure check - a pressure gauge is used for this. The pressure parameters are also indicated in the table. AvtoVAZ warns against operating a car with a tire pressure that differs from that written in the Vesta manual. With such rubber, the controllability and stability of Vesta worsens, and tire wear accelerates. In any case, the spool should be inspected for possible air leakage. If the reason is in it, it needs to be replaced or at least tightened. In the absence of such, but when air is bled from the tire, it is recommended to contact a branded station where the tire will be repaired.

Use a pressure gauge to check tire pressure.

Carrying out work - it must be carried out either at the Lada dealer, or using special equipment. This is necessary so as not to break the sealing layer of the tire. In work, it is extremely important not to unbalance the wheel, for which you will need to make a mark on the tire with a piece of chalk (opposite the valve), and when reassembling, focus on this mark. Also, the installation of new tires implies the obligatory balancing of the Lada Vesta wheels at the dealer station.

Wheel balancing is carried out at a station with appropriate equipment.

Wear - in order for it to be uniform, it is required to periodically rearrange the wheels along the axes, as indicated in the manual.

Scheme of rearrangement of wheels on Lada Vesta.

Driving - caution is advised when driving. You should not drive fast on a road with poor coverage (pits, asphalt sags, etc. defects). In addition, while parking, you should avoid grinding the wheels on curbstones. All this can provoke an imbalance and break the tightness of the tires (tubeless) Lada Vesta. It is necessary to go to the dealer or to the branded station immediately if vibration begins to be observed while driving.

Fast driving on poor quality road surfaces is unacceptable.

The process of replacing wheels on Lada Vesta

First you need to prepare for the work. First, Vesta needs to park on a flat area and fix the car with high quality by putting it on the parking brake, with the first gear engaged at the same time. After that, you can get a spare tire and the necessary tools from the luggage compartment.

If Vesta is “shod” in stamped discs, you will need to carefully remove the caps. Next, you need to loosen all the bolts of the wheel to be replaced, after which you can install the jack (the place for it is marked with stamping). When installing the jack, it is necessary to ensure that its heel is located exactly under the stop, and the notch in its stop is in the edge of the threshold.

First you need to remove the cap, and then loosen the bolts that secure the Vesta wheel.

After that, you can raise Lada Vesta by 50-60 mm. Then the bolts are completely unscrewed, the wheel is removed, a spare is installed in its place, and the bolts are wrapped again. Then you need to lower Vesta back, remove the jack and tighten the bolts in a crosswise manner. If there is a cap, one will need to be put on the wheel.

The correct location of the jack under the threshold of Lada Vesta.

The defective wheel must be placed in a niche in the luggage compartment, securely fastened with a screw stop and covered with a mat. Bolt tightening quality check should be carried out 1,000 km after installation. If necessary, they will need to be tightened. The same set of actions is carried out with each replacement.

Placement and fixation of the spare wheel in the luggage compartment of the Lada Vesta.
