Wheels: easy driving on UAZ. To a harsh jeep - harsh slippers. Domestic tires for UAZ The size of tires for UAZ

Rubber on the UAZ is a very dreary and extensive topic, which I have not yet touched upon. Today we will try to understand this difficult issue. There are a couple of good articles about rubber, 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. Take care of the rubber. Check your tires IMMEDIATELY. "

The first article tells about "foreign" tires on the UAZ 🙂

"Foreign" tires for UAZ

Only tires of the Mud Terrain class are capable of instilling unlimited confidence in the owner of an SUV.
These tires are designed from the ground up to tackle the most difficult off-road terrain, although they can be used on normal roads. Efficiency when driving on a wide variety of terrains, sufficient traction to overcome mud and fords, "puncture resistance", durability and movement at any inflation pressure - for this all Mud Terrain tires are loved by avid hunters and anglers, as well as off-road enthusiasts.

Rubber BFGoodrich Radial Mud Terrain T / A.

Radial tubeless tire with triple protective polymer cord. It has a developed and balanced set of off-road qualities and for many jeepers serves as a kind of benchmark for comparison. Mud Terrain T / A is hardy (mileage under normal road conditions can reach 40-50 thousand km) and is produced in a wide range (nine sizes for 15 "discs, 6 sizes for 16, two for 16.5).
Cooper Discoverer STT. An off-road tire of a famous and popular brand in America. In terms of some 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 (though, if we take into account, again, prices in the USA). It is also produced in a very wide range (10 sizes for 15 "rims, 13 x 16, 3 x 16.5, there are even sizes for 17 and 14" rims).

General Tire Grabber MT rubber.

This tire is manufactured by the Continental group of companies. It has proven itself well on sandy roads (the optimal ratio of the square of "checkers" to the depth of the grooves), copes well with mud (self-cleaning tread) and is not afraid of stony roads (new super-strong rubber compound). It's noisy on the asphalt. So far, it is produced only in the six most popular "jeep" 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 enormous grip on the mud, works great at lowered, comfortable on normal road. Goodyear has implemented the very best technological advances in MT / R (silicone rubber compound, polymer three-layer sidewall, enhanced puncture protection, special cord construction that forms an impressive "paw" of contact patch) and therefore ranked it, no less, in the category things State-of-the-Art (well, it's kind of like "the best and not necessary").

Mickey Thompson Baja CLAW Radial rubber.

Another novelty. Aggressive appearance provokes the same off-road style. Powerful oblique mud-evacuation ditches in the tread allow attacking deep mud literally from the raid without the risk of "surfacing" and loss of inertia, while the elastic rubber compound and strong cord provide the tire with passability over stones and cobblestones. The tire is not cheap and is available in only 4 sizes so far.

Tires for UAZ Pirelli Scorpion MUD.

Even such a "peaceful"-looking tire like this one contains all the great sporting and technological experience that Pirelli has gained in international rally-raids. Scorpion MUD behaves well on soft soils, copes well with slippery roads, and goes on ordinary concrete or asphalt with comfort and without unnecessary noise, maintaining good directional stability even at a high speed for an SUV (130-140 km / h).

Rubber for UAZ YaI-357A

YaI-357 is a radial version of the UAZ non-military rubber Ya-245. Accordingly, it should behave the same off-road, but slightly better at highway speeds.

I bought a UAZ with this rubber, I left for over a year. I think this is a good radial model, good in winter and summer. I don't want to switch to another model of rubber, and then I will only buy it.

YaI-357 (215-90R15) from Yaroslavl - similar in design to the diagonal, 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 village or often travel to the country.

Mud tires for UAZ Ya-358

Tire size 11.2-16; Purpose: front driving axle MTZ-82N; Load index 1050; Speed ​​index A6 (30); Diagonal diagonal construction; Outer diameter, mm 895; Profile width, mm 290; Weight, kg 44

Tractor rubber. They are driven by mini tractors 16-7.5, it is like 31 ″ exists and 16-9.5 that is. 35 ″, but once again - this is a terrible shortage of the most massive tractors - Chinese, their rubber g ..., solid soot, die at a time

From the stories on it - it's just super in the mud (there is no super), but it cuts through the swamp and begins to dig in at a breakneck speed.

Manufactured by Volzhsky Shinny Zavod (VlShZ), Voltyr OJSC, 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 cross-country pattern of non-directional type provide high cross-country ability both when moving forward and backward in off-road conditions, on snowy roads and on deformable surfaces, high directional stability and tire grip. Maximum tire load (depending on ply) from 1120 to 1695 kgf, weight - 30 kg, maximum speed - 30 km / h.

About the F-201 tire, a short history:
For a long time I rode on I-409 tires and had a clear example of the operation of I-192. Driving through swampy areas showed that both tires were narrow and heavy. UAZ crashes. After driving along the clay and snow tracks behind the elevated Land Rovers, Land Cruisers and Jeeps, it turned out that a standard UAZ with military bridges on standard wheels drives no worse. Therefore, I decided to find tires that are wide and with a standard outer diameter.
The "goodrich" option disappears for a number of reasons:
-expensive
-relatively weak sidewalls (fairly frequent punctures)
-large diameter in relation to the width of the tire (not suitable for my driving style)

The "tractor tree" variant of the Yaroslavl or Belorussian plant is omitted for the following reasons:
-weighs a lot
-too large diameter (overloading of units, poor dynamics of acceleration and deceleration)

From the operation of the UAZ in difficult conditions, the following requirements were determined which the tire must meet:
-reasonable price
-have developed lugs (such as Ya-192)
- have a standard dia. with a large width (from 250mm.)
- the weight should be no more than that of the standard
- strong sides

Searches led to the following models TVL-3, VL-30, F-201. The following dimensions: 10/75 / 15.3 and 11.5 / 80 / 15.3 Protector: "Christmas tree", analogue of I-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. at a width of 10 inches (almost 250 mm.). The weight is not much more than the standard (own feelings tested during tire fitting). The middle part of the tread is similar to the I-192, and the lateral part is like a "tree".
Fears caused the landing diameter. 15.3 (UAZovsikie at 15).

The following ideas for installing such tires appeared:
-Submit the cut camera, like on trucks.
- when expanding the discs (according to the 2-by-1 principle), install the hoops.
-Supply discs from the appropriate technique with re-drilling the holes for the bolts and the hub. (8-9 inch discs are needed)
- put on standard disks (for checking)

I followed the simple path "installation on uaz disks". Two people had to do tire fitting, because of the large width of the tire with fairly rigid sides and a narrow disc. During tire fitting, the impression was that our constructors were saving on matrices under 15.3, and they simply put a stamp on the sidewall. I pumped the tire up to 2 atm. Due to the narrow disc, the protector is located in an arc (when viewed from the "end"). I put all wheels on a UAZ with military bridges and wheel arches. We look. The rear wheels do not touch anywhere, the front ones too. We make labels. Go. You can drive on asphalt up to 80 km / h, but for a short time (lack of balancing and narrow discs). After running along the road 120 km long at an average speed of 60 km / h. the tire is hot enough (causes concern) The tires are quite tough and all the flaws of the asphalt road make themselves felt on the steering wheel. After intensive acceleration and deceleration, we look at the marks - everything is in place. We bleed the pressure up to 1.2 atm. The car began to drive much softer. Continue onto a country road. The vibration from the wheels has disappeared, you can go fast enough. On clay, the tire runs perfectly, does not get washed out, it became possible to quickly accelerate and brake. This allows me to move in a style close to the rally. We climb along a deep rut. The car strikes with bridges and razdatka, but drives. Trying to get out of the rut with all-wheel drive. Steering wheel to the left, iiiiii! The car rose slightly, but continued straight ahead. Now into the swing. The third time I stopped by. I try the option of getting out of the rut without the front axle. The attempt was successful the first time. Further four-wheel drive and in front. We are looking for a place to get stuck. Aha !!! Ready. Trying to swing. Super!!! After I-409, it feels like the car has "grown claws." The machine lends itself well to swinging, while the swinging process is clearly controlled. On the sand, everything is "way". The digging process is always under control. Unfortunately, we did not manage to ride through the swampy terrain. We look at the marks - they are again in place. The next step is to rework the disks. I suppose, thereby, get rid of wheel runout and increase the contact patch.

Rubber I-502

I installed the Nizhnekamsk I-502. Of the FOUR wheels, TWO were balanced (imbalance of 500 kopecks). I put it on alloy wheels with a star shape and an offset of ET = 0 (wheels from Kamensk-Uralsky "Vicom", a five-pointed star). As a result, I got the following. The mass of native rubber with a disc is 33 kg, now it is 25 kg, the wheel is lighter by 8 kg. Only 8 kg x 4 = 32 kg. The creaking of the front pads is a thing of the past, apparently due to the fact that the cooling has improved. Dynamics began to appear during acceleration and movement (the wheels are lighter). Due to the smaller outreach, the track has increased, i.e. cornering stability (not tilting so much), as well as handling (no need to steer). You practically never get tired on long trips. There is practically no goat and it has become softer ... I advise, I like it.

They hold the road firmly, do not fall into the skid, like "relatives". In the last snow and ice on the country road they behaved normally. Dragged more than 50 km of UAZ with a jammed engine, dragged him, darling, even on a completely icy hill. On the road, it is 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 mud, and at the same time it is good on the track.

It works fine everywhere, except for wet clay - it licks at the moment, self-cleaning of the tread - 0.

Rubber I-502, although it did not give reason to doubt the passability of the UAZ, but the directional stability on clay - well, none.

502 behaves just fine on a winter road, although it doesn't really like virgin snow. [Cuirassier]

I searched for the official needs of the 2nd set, the conclusions:
1. Weak sidewalls - cut to tear at a stroke.
2. It is lathered both on clay and on simply damp arable land (fertile land, but not black soil).
3. Diameter for ed. small bridges.
4. The ground clearance drops even in comparison with the standard.
5. In winter, there are no special advantages. [Elk postal]

I-502 (225-85R15) - developed by NIISHP, produced at Nizhnekamskshina - slightly wider than YaI-357, and the car runs even smoother on it. In the mud, this tire does not work well - it immediately clogs up and does not self-clean, like the YaI-357. Directional stability with her is also worse, but if you get into a skid, she pulls the car when gas is supplied much more willingly. And on a hard damp surface "502" behaves better than "357". I think that the I-502 will suit those who travel all year round, but it is probably not worth arranging a Camel Trophy on it.

I put it on 3160 almost immediately after buying it. The difference between the standard and the 520 is striking. The car practically stopped prowling, became softer, more dynamic (although the latter is most likely due to the more responsive alloy wheels). The truth with balancing is a problem. The imbalance of some wheels reached 300 gr. The tires have already passed about 24 thousand km. On the asphalt, incl. and on the wet, on the sand behaves with dignity. There are no cameras. He holds the pressure perfectly - for the entire time he corrected it once no more than 0.2. In short, the impressions are good. [Siberian]

520 (Pilgrim) has a size of 235-75 R15, in reality - 29 inches. The car on it goes "like clockwork", more precisely - "like on rails" - excellent handling and no yaw. And on completely regular rusty discs. The car runs very smoothly. Weights - 2-3 pcs. on the wheel. Pressure (tubeless): not dropped at all in 9 months! About off-road qualities: me 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 along the most difficult route. Andrey has portal bridges, and mine - collective farm bridges and without blockages. But I only got stuck sitting on both of these collective farm bridges. So I will only change this gum for a trophy 33 inch. [Radomirich]

No action on the part of the I-520 tire itself was noticed towards self-cleaning in the mud :). But at the same time it goes! Three times, on the mud, they knocked the ponzhayk into neutral, and in the most ambush places. But he cut it in - and went! - Where Vitaly went on I-192, there I went on I-520). I will repeat once again - on the I-520 I got stuck only thoroughly sitting on both bridges. But not once because of the slippage of tires clogged with mud. Once again, the diameter of the tire is 29 inches, for the Ya-471 it is 30.4. That is, the ground clearance will be one and a half centimeters more. It's a lot or a little - it's up to you to decide.
By the way, the chains on the I-520 are easier to find. On the I-471, they may have to be modified.
About city driving. No noise (they actually exist, of course, but the transmission and other hardware blocks them), no vibrations. The handling 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 :). In this case, the tires behaved very well.

Dry residue. After all, the I-520 is a city bus, on which you can safely get out into nature. I-471 is a universal tire (but not for raids, of course). Very normal. But it seems to me that it makes sense to put it also on good 8-inch wheels with no more than zero offset. Then you will be able to feel all its charm and will not touch the suspension. [Radomirich]

Soft, quiet, very stable rubber. The diameter is actually an inch less than that of the 502 and standard ones. But this is such nonsense compared to the comfort and road safety that these tires provide.
About off-road. Of course, she's not for him. But on a couple of rides (one of them Lesnoe-2000), the tires showed the following:

• on soft ground, where the I-192 falls through in one and a half pass, the I-520 can be driven back and forth 20 times (pulled stuck nivovods).
• compared to other road tires for UAZs of this class and size, incl. and standard 245 and 357, I-520 is the best off-road for cross-country ability.
• compared to 502 - he sat down only where he sat on collective farm bridges. And THE BEAST with Andrey and Ira was on military bridges and at 502. I didn't sit on bridges too much, that's why I didn't get too stuck.

The disks are a bit wide. For I-520, 7 ″ disks are better. But the car, on the other hand, will be 8 ″ more stable on the highway and overturning. [Radomirich]

Well, yes, small diameter and weak sidewalls. He sat down with bridges in a rut, along which the UAZ had previously driven on standard tires. He broke the sidewall after hitting the curb tangentially. On the asphalt - great, on the regular one it threw 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 standard one, the same snowdrift pushes less. In general, I liked it in the mud, the tread is even better than the 471, it gets washed out less. True, I compared when 471 was on the trooper, maybe it wasn't about the rubber 🙂

Tires for UAZ I-506

In the longitudinal direction, it clings super, brakes and rowes perfectly on any snow. Cleans up well - tasted in the mud during the thaw. The cons are:
- in the transverse direction it holds rather weakly - somehow I could not get out of the side of the road. The slope was 20 degrees and there was a lot of snow;
- a bit harsh. Not fatal;
- it is small, only about 29 inches.

By the way, I have already experienced it in the mud. Feelings are very good - the drawing is large, with a good distance between the blocks. It cleans very well, only on dry soil small drainage grooves are clogged, but this is not scary. In the mud 30 cm deep, which the UAZs on the YaI-357 drove around, drove without any problems and still pulled a chisel behind them.
It also holds well on dry, loose soil - it is pleasant to climb ravines. There are problems on deep dry sand - it was felt that the car was slipping - apparently too narrow and toothy for sand, so for sand it is better to take I-471, probably.

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. Directional stability is better than on other tires, and thanks to the "evil" pattern, cross-country ability will satisfy many. And what a combat look the UAZ acquires! Frankly speaking, I doubted for a long time whether to install these tires. It seems to be clear from textbooks that a wide tire should be inferior to a narrow one in terms of cross-country ability. But, having traveled on the Ya-471, I can confidently say that it surpasses the two previous ones. True, it needs wheels wider than the standard ones for tubeless tires.

Frequently asked questions about I-471:
1. Whether to put on native disks? - YES!
2. Should I be put on camera? - YES!
3. Is the option possible with both? (on standard disks with a camera)
- On standard disks with a camera only. On domestic forged for UAZ, it is possible without a camera. [OlegM]
4. Does the car need to be lifted? - On a leaf spring suspension it is possible not to lift
I have an unloaded car, with civilian bridges, about 3 centimeters to the wheel arches.

Impressions of Ya 471 at speed:
Yesterday, returning from the hacienda, I drove a little with a sneaker to the floor with a sneaker and was pleasantly surprised by the behavior of the car. On "native" YI 357 at speeds above 110-120, the car began to "fidget". And now - that 130, that 80 - the behavior is the same - rides and rides. Moreover, since except for rubber did not change anything - this is clearly her merit. [Chief]

In the summer on the asphalt, I think the 471 is ideal for a UAZ, but in the winter there is simply none.

A few nuances about the I-471:
1. Balanced with difficulty. 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 people put on disks of the standard width, that is, 6 inches, and they seem to drive without problems, this is not correct, since the disk nirina should be 70-75 percent of the width of the rubber. That is, for I-471 AT LEAST 7 inches. I have eight inches. Departure - zero.
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 touch a little. It is necessary either to bend the arches a little inward, or rather, to lift their inner flanges, or lift them a little. If there are wheel arch liners - then only. You can also just cut the wings a little, but this is not for everybody. Or a professional 🙂
4. I-471 behaves amazingly on asphalt, sand, not very washed out primer. It's hard to bury yourself in it. [Jedi]

Of course, it doesn’t listen to gravel, but I don’t remember much enthusiasm from the Ya-357 either ... In principle, on a wet clay track, I even rode it up a hill (of course, with a front end) and even started uphill. Although, probably in critical modes on a tractor track after an avalanche it can fail. It's just that in my practice, critical modes are more common on the track (for example, rain or bitumen) and on slopes, where an extra centimeter of track will not hurt. In short, this rubber is not for trial, but for the normal life of the layman.

I ride the Ya-471 all year round. Regular disks. It's great in the summer, I didn't look for much dirt, but in the fall I hit it once. When not very lumpy rides normally. BUT I didn't storm big mud.
Winter is bad, especially on ice. Snow is lightly packed normally. I rode a lot on the crossroads, if it is firm 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 wheel does not need to be pumped more than 2 points. In principle, I'm happy with the rubber. I am thinking of redoing the standard wheels by 8 inches. [Running Turtle]

I-471 lowered to 0.5 rt in the snow as you like, and in which case it allows you to back up. It has been tested in practice many times. With more pressure, it rides lousy

Tires for UAZ Ya-569

ZAO TsARM (St. Petersburg) has tested new Y-569 tires, which have proven themselves positively and have a pattern for off-road vehicles. UAZ with such tires won the 1st place ("Turboded") in the rally-raid "Polygon-2000". [TsARM]

The rubber is good, the tread is evil, it cleans normally, one big minus is only about 30 inches, it is rather low. Width 235 for her, dear. On the road with it the car is better than with the standard one. So for an amateur, in general. And on the highway I-471 is definitely better, 569 is noisy and the gasoline eats well.

There was such a thing. Nothing particularly good: 1. small diameter; 2. the protector is only for asphalt - it slips even on the grass; ((((In my opinion, you shouldn't get involved with this - take the I-502 - this is a kind of "optimum for the people";))) Leha47rus

Enough for less than a year, everything went with the screw. Unfortunately, MShZ has not yet learned how to make reusable rubber. And so all is well. [Ivanushka]

Rubber for UAZ Ya-192

Through the mud - like a tank. On the highway - worse than a tank, in the sense that while 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: I drive the I-502 to a certain place and ride there until I bury myself completely. At the same time, I try not to bring all this to the state of a tank range. Then I drive and change wheels quickly. I go there again and try again to ride on specially left strips of untouched snow, parallel to the previous ruts. Conclusion: I-192 is better, but not much.

In the snow, where I drove on a worn 357, 192 falls through, digs and sits. A meter ahead - a meter back more or less. You roll - you go. It is useless to deflate. Vopschem got tired of sex and I put on chains: 0)) It is much better, but damn narrow rubber to disgrace. One devil fails. On the highway, a gear grinder and a hand massager, regardless of the power steering. On the road at 90 km / h, you will love to keep the car. Throws it from side to side. I ran into a cigarette butt for 5 minutes and you catch the road: 0)) It's better not to go on the ice at all, it's useless to slow down, it's useless to steer. I almost blew a 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 the ride on the snow.

Tires for UAZ Ya-409

I drive a Ya-409 year and through the swamp and in the city ... and in the snow. It's just cool in the snow, not bad on the ice. I don’t go slowly on the asphalt, at 140 (if you don’t talk too much about the steering wheel…) Radial tires. Only in the open-pit mine Zvenigorodsky 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. It has justified itself only as a winter one, at summer rallies and mud trophies are not cleared at all. At the summer autocross competitions, everyone who was on the I-192 did me.

In the mud, what was offered to her was easy. Howling on the highway is not weak, but bearable, well managed. [timosha]

On the ice, of course, g ... oh! On rolled snow, it is wonderful - normal directional stability, maneuverability as on a dry road, in deep snow (up to 40-50 cm) it confidently rushes due to its high profile, but it makes me feel sick, like on a boat. Cleans well, even in wet clay. I don’t regret a bit. Although it is harsh in comparison with other tires. I keep the pressure 1.8 - 1.9.

Now I don't even want to put the 502 back, although there are 4 wheels. Supposed to put 409 only for dirt, and now I do not take it off. But it is really buried in one fell swoop, I had it both in the sand and in the gravel. You famously throttle the rear axle and sit, but as a rule, turning on the front end fixes everything. And more advice on balancing. When they are balancing, ask them not to rush to hang a bunch of loads at once, let the tire twist on the disk. This allowed me to halve the weight of the cargo.

Test report I-409:
Not tested only in a swamp and in deep snow.
Before that I went to 245, and then to 502.

Viscous mud after rain - does not clean itself at all (although we still need to figure out what is put into this concept), the rollers are obtained as in the 245 only wider, but the car goes even though it prowls to the sides, but it confidently climbs up, where there were 245 problems (there was a case to compare, we drove in two cars).
GOOD mud, after a good rain - allows you to drive on one rear-wheel drive, it was not possible to land even once. Even if you rest against bridges and roll backwards for a long time before either making your way forward or going backwards on your own, it doesn’t burrow like 192. I am very pleased with the ability to get out of the rut and not fall back from the edge, it keeps side sliding well on slopes.
Clay - the protector is clogged, but it squeezes out the clay perfectly. This weekend (6 people, 2 dogs, full trunk) I got up on a clay climb 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 lowered one. At 502, I would not have jerked there.
Golimy rolled ice - I was driving on the rear wheel drive without showing off, the car behaves quite predictably, starts and slows down normally.
Snow porridge with loose ice - no question, it goes like on the asphalt.
Just asphalt (dry, wet no matter) - more hot than 502 (though I keep 3 atmospheres), a little noisier - but not so much to feel discomfort. Not overclocked until…. I don’t know how many, the speedometer was over 120 on the tachometer 4000 rpm on the gr / bridges normally, the car does not prowl.
Only two wheels are well balanced (up to 100 grams per side), and two (up to 250 grams per side). In short, I'm happy, 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 off more than 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 - when the vents are closed, rubber is generally inaudible, regardless of speed and coverage.
Holds the road well. Repeatedly tried to let go of the steering wheel at a speed of 80-90 km / h - the car rushes like a tank (just doesn't feel right).
Fuel consumption (I have 126 carb.)
In the summer - 12.5 liters on the highway (average speed 80 km / h), 14.5 - in the city, of course, when driving with one bridge turned on.
In winter, the consumption on two bridges does not exceed 18 l / 100 km.
Passage:
Sand - very confident, whatever the load;
Snow - rolling on a field with a depth of snow cover up to 40 cm - felt quite comfortable.
Clay (loam) - rides until you sit on bridges, then - well ... :-).
Ice: get under way - better on two bridges, slow down - you can and with one turned 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 conditions and not very serious off-road conditions - I recommend paying attention to it. Well, it’s better to climb into d..mo, naturally, on more eminent brethren. [Mamaiashvili Sergei Valerievich]

"Cars UAZ-3151, UAZ-31512, UAZ-41514 and their modifications" (operation 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 video modifications on how to make cuts in rubber on a UAZ:

Mud rubber

Created on the basis of an off-road vehicle, a car with a minibus body UAZ-3962 (3309), in colloquial terms - UAZ loaf, has received the widest distribution. Despite the unprepossessing appearance and technically outdated design, due to its high cross-country ability and reliability, the machine is used as a workhorse and is currently being produced. Ambulance service, Emergency Situations Ministry teams in forestry and agriculture - all this applies to this vehicle.

Taking into account the difficult conditions, increased requirements are imposed in those conditions when tires are selected for a UAZ loaf. The conditions when the machine mainly works on urban asphalt roads differ significantly from the conditions of rural off-road. In addition, rural roads vary significantly with the seasons.

Wheel size for UAZ

The standard tires on the UAZ loaf are installed with the following size: 225/75 R16, and in some periods the car was equipped with 235/74 R15 tires. In any case, it must be borne in mind that the staging diameter of the disc must be within the range of 29-33 inches. This dimension does not lead to additional changes in the vehicle design. Additionally, the steel disc must meet the 5x139.7 mounting size requirements.

There are known cases when tires were used on a wheel size R17, but with the very tire of a low profile. However, due to the large selection of standard rubber of any model, this practice has not become widespread.

In the event of an overloaded vehicle or at maximum suspension travel, even when the tire is set to the normal dimension, the rubber touches the wheel arches. This situation is not critical and there is no serious destructive effect on rubber.

Winter tires

Taking into account the prevalence of the car and the most varied operating conditions, a wide variety of tires are provided for installation on a UAZ loaf. The market presents not only the categories of domestic, but also imported rubber for UAZ. There are 3 main categories:

• universal;
• mud;
• winter;

But any owner must choose for further use exactly the model that suits the performance of specific tasks. Since it is hardly possible to have fun driving around on noisy mud tires, while at the same time with a significantly increased gas mileage.

Line of domestic tires

Among the domestic rubber options, the following brands are considered mass models.

Best station wagons

Universal tires for UAZ:

1. Bel-24 235/75 R15. The Belarusian analogue has good average characteristics in all respects, fully justifying the purpose of the tire as a universal one. High wear resistance is noted, and operating experience allows us to speak of a resource of 60 thousand km.
2. "I-502" has a size of 225/85 R15. The lifting capacity is 950 kg, and the maximum speed is 150 km / h.
3. "Ya560" allows a maximum speed of 180 km / h.
4. "Ya-357A". This is a radial version of the above mentioned rubber, which is distinguished by better speed and is able to withstand a large permissible load up to 1060 kgf. This type of tire is somewhat softer and, with a similar pattern, tolerates movement on soggy mud much better. Good directional stability on the road can also be noted.
5. "Ya245" and "Ya245-1" has a size of 215/90 R15. This tire brand has a low maximum speed of 110 km / h and a relatively low weight of 775 kgf.

Rubber for use on mud

Among the requirements that can be set when choosing rubber for use on bad roads are:

• developed lugs;
• weight not exceeding the permissible value for the car;
• permissible width is not more than 250 mm;
• affordable price;
• tire sidewalls resistant to external influences.

1. "I-502". It has a number of advantages: low noise level, good maneuverability on any roads and low rolling resistance under good road conditions. This model copes well with resistance to mechanical damage.
2. "I-506". It has good resistance to longitudinal displacement and excellent directional stability. It has a low noise level, and additionally allows the screwing of studs for the winter period. The only gripe is some wheel stiffness.
3. "I-520". Another worthy representative of rubber for UAZ. This tubeless model allows the car to hold the road with confidence and handle in a variety of conditions. Rubber noise does not exceed transmission sounds. This tire has good self-cleaning properties, which is important enough for an off-road tire. It is noteworthy that for this model it is easy to find snow chains.
4. A relatively new model was the Y471 model. The tire provides a smooth ride, slightly swallowing minor irregularities. Good directional stability and low noise level are provided. Decently behaves not only on muddy roads, but also in the sand. Notes on this model include difficult balance.
5. An excellent rubber for bad roads is the Y192 tire. This is one of the best mud tires available. However, the model is somewhat noisy on asphalt and does not differ in smooth running.
6. "Ya409". This rubber for UAZ is suitable for use at any time of the year. The model copes well with mud, but also feels comfortable on snowy roads. Performance on clean ice is slightly worse, but the car can be handled while driving.
7. The Y358 model is designed primarily for installation on the front driving axle. This bias tire is not very fast. But it does an excellent job on rough roads, with the exception of swampy areas, where it is capable of self-burying.

Reliable and practical UAZ vehicles are popular in our country. The lineup is wide enough. The cars themselves are very unpretentious and have great opportunities in terms of cross-country ability and movement on off-road sections. Additionally, SUV models are equipped with components that are designed to improve the already high driving performance. One of them is UAZ off-road tires. However, it is necessary to correctly approach the choice.

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, know what all-season 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 colossal loads that an SUV provides. There are many different options available in car stores today. And if you need to find something you need, sometimes you can even get confused. Road tires are also suitable for UAZ vehicles. It is versatile and quite durable. It can be used both on the track and on bad roads. On the off-road, it simply will not be of much use - mud models will be required here.

Main parameters of mud tires

Any SUV owner must be aware that rubber intended for dirt can significantly affect factors such as handling, speed, and off-road capability. The same goes for performance. When choosing mud tires for UAZ, it is important to take into account the required tire size, tread pattern, carrying capacity. When choosing such a rubber, it is important to immediately know which roads you will have to drive.

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

Classification

First of all, you need to know exactly what kind of tires are. You should also take into account 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 roadbed, there are road, road, universal and high strength products. Seasonally - winter, summer and all-season. There are also other parameters by which tires can be classified. One of the most important indicators is coverage. Rubber can be road or road. These tires are characterized by good flotation on asphalt. Also on a hard surface, the products have excellent adhesion. These tires are labeled HT.

Also, rubber 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 with AT. It is important to remember that these tires are not intended to be used all year round. Feature - large tread pattern.

Mud models are designated M / T. They are made to ride in bad 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 studs, as well as lugs. The latter make it easier to pass through in deep mud. These tires make a lot of noise when driving. A sports tire modification can also be added to this classification.

This rubber is most suitable for those who practically do not travel in the countryside. 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 use.

Cordiant OffRoad

This is a versatile tire that became a revolutionary product in its time. The model managed to conquer the segment of affordable tires, and its competitors are completely absent. These products fully justify their price. This off-road rubber is a great choice for entry-level off-road fishing. The model is completely muddy, so it is better not to use it for winter. When it comes to driving through 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 deal with car modifications.

Contyre Expedition and Cooper Discoverer STT

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

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

Ya-245 from Omskshina and Forward Safari 500

The first model is a classic. Although you can't tell by the tread pattern. But UAZ owners know that these tires can be used to make an all-terrain vehicle. 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 option from a domestic manufacturer.

The price is very affordable. The size is the only and standard for the UAZ-452 car. Among the advantages is excellent cross-country ability on mud. Among the downsides is a hard 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. "Bear" is suitable for UAZ Patriot, Niva, and UAZ 33. However, they are not recommended to be used for UAZ-469, as well as for Hunter and Patriot. In this case, the tire is smaller than necessary. One should not expect much efficiency from them. But if you get a suitable disc, then it is quite possible to install it on the "Loaf".

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

Tires Ya-471

This model, like the "Bear", is produced on a tubeless tire and has serious advantages. The car moves very gently with it. 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 terrain. Many people like that with these tires the car takes on a unique, combat look. It would seem that wider tires should give way to narrow ones. However, in this case, this is not at all the case.

The tire is installed on standard wheels, can be mounted on a camera. If the first option is used, then the rubber should be installed only with a camera. On forged can be used without it. In the summer, it is a reliable option, but in the winter, all its effectiveness is reduced to zero. Also, those who have managed to use the model claim that the tires are difficult to balance. Despite the fact that most of them install these tires on UAZ with standard disks and then drive without any problems, this is not entirely correct. This 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 short, 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 argued that this option is poorly controlled on mud.

Winter tires for UAZ

UAZs are driven a lot and often. Most of them change from Niva. And there is something to love about these models - high ground clearance, excellent cross-country ability and many other advantages. People think about buying a winter one when there is frost outside the window. There is no special 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 "Bukhanok" prefer domestic products.

Many people buy I-192. She 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 for the Patriot are available in a wide range. And since the standard size of the Loaf's wheels 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

The Nokian SUV is an improved version of the previous model that has received many good reviews.

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

The same cannot be said for the Hankook i Pike RW11. There are no thorns here. This is the so-called Velcro. The rubber is produced by a Korean manufacturer. The product is quite high 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 a lot of 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

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

The UAZ is a beast car, especially if it is not stock, but properly pumped and, most importantly, the tires have normal cross-country ability. Of course, I understand that all sorts of things there seem to be good, but their price tag, to put it mildly, is indecent. But few people know (those who are just starting to master the conquest of off-road) that you can buy cool tires for quite ridiculous money.

The UAZ is a domestic car, right? Well, let's put on his shoes in domestic rubber, since the rigid suspension structure will withstand any bullying. Of the minuses of our rubber, one can almost always note its oakiness and rigidity. The permeability of the car suffers only in a swamp due to the impossibility of flattening the rubber under the weight of the car. But in forests, fields, where clay, mud, such tires will give odds to any imported MT-shke. But what can I say - properly selected tires may well compete with tires of the "extreme" class.

That is why I offer you a selection of proven rubber of a domestic manufacturer. Some of the slippers can be cut and significantly increase the cross-country ability, and some can cope with dirt anyway. In general, let's go.

I-245

Not so long ago I saw an UAZ on such tires, but it was ordinary, and the UAZ was also stock. In general, I was not impressed, "Yashka 245" has a medium-sized tread pattern and is poorly suited for mud. But the Uazovody are smart people and have perked up doing this with this rubber ... In general, if you cut it, it starts to “tear” most of the imported MT-slippers.

Tire dimension 215/90 / R15 - in inches 30.2
The price for a cylinder is only 2600 rubles (freebie sir)

So, take a look at this picture to understand what will become of your I-245 when you cut it:

As you can see, the tread pattern begins to resemble the coolest Simex Jungle Trekker, which costs 4-5 times more. Of course, it's not worth seriously comparing Simex and Yashka, but according to the reviews of those who cut 245, it really became cooler. Goodrichs and other "importers" were killed at once. The UAZ rowing like a tractor and getting stuck only when it sits on bridges.

And this, by the way, is not surprising, because the cut Yashka is prone to burying, and instantaneous. For the side "teeth" of the tread have thinned so much that they dig the ground like a marmot. Therefore, on peaty soils, be careful - lower your tires and do not accelerate too much, otherwise you will bury yourself and sit on bridges.

I-192

Another popular rubber from Omskshina (it is softer than Yaroslavka), perfect for the UAZ. Many are simply convinced that these tires are the best for stock UAZs - for those who do not want to lift anything, cut arches and do other modifications. And to argue here, I think it's not worth it, excellent passable and most importantly - cheap tires.

The size is the same - 215 / 90R15
The price for a cylinder is slightly more expensive than the first - 2800 rubles

Unlike the first one, there is no need to cut anything, the default sneakers are already really cool. It is not for nothing that they are so popular with Uazovodov - the tread pattern is somewhat similar to the BF Goodrich KM2. It is also very similar to the Forward Safari 510, only 192 is a little narrower.

The distance between the checkers is very decent, rakes in dirt with a bang, as prone to digging as any other rubber with a large tread.

The size of the rubber is ideal for a stock UAZ - up to 31 inches. The photo shows a comparison with the famous one.

And of course, those who just want to increase the cross-country ability even a little bit more can cut it. There are also several cutting options for I-192, here are a couple of them:

In the first version, some sort of "cuts" are made on the checkers - so that the dirt is squeezed out better. Yashki have become similar to Goodrich KM2 - as the owner noted, the cross-country ability has become a little better. Therefore, there is a reason to spend time and cut rubber.

Well, the second option is simpler - the side blocks are cut through one, thereby increasing the distance between the side "teeth". The buzz on the highway will increase, be sure, but the cross-country ability will increase significantly.

Or another cutting option - half is cut from each tread.

These two models of Russian "slippers" on the UAZ are the most in demand among UAZ drivers, although there are still a lot of options. Take at least the same ones.

Voltyre F-201

If you can find such "slippers" on sale, you will become the king of clay)) You don't need to cut anything, everything is already very large and excellent.

Size - 31 * 10R15 (255/75 / R15)
Sidewall 6-layer, strong
Speed ​​index is true 30 km / h (like the tractor VL-30)
Delicious price - 2800 rubles per bottle

As you can see, it is very, very similar to the I-192, but it covers up its drawback - the Yashka is narrow, and the F-201 is wider. The side lugs are solid, the tread pattern is very large. For mud, what the doctor ordered. As the people who checked their shoes in battle say - rowing is simply monstrous, you can't imagine better for clay.

There is simply no mud in a swamp and liquid mud, this is its main jamb, all because it is oak and does not flatten even at zero pressure. For the swamp, save up for boggers or at least Simeksa)) And so the eff is very credible in terms of cross-country ability (where it is possible to get to the firmament without sitting on bridges) and appearance.

Well, for starters, I can also throw you a photo - 5 models of domestic rubber for the Oise:

From left to right:

I-471, Forward Safari 500, I-192, some "Ka-shka" and the fifth -. The price tag for each model is not lethal, it is quite possible to pull for everyone.

But personally, I would put the I-192 on the UAZ, and if you cut it, it's just beautiful. Well, this is for those who do not have money for proven extreme models from Simex and TSL.

By the way, if you have more money than 3-4 thousand per wheel, I recommend taking a closer look at the following models -. Rubber is just a bomb, especially 888, my friend cuts me into this - he doesn't need anything else, in his words))

Tuning all-terrain vehicle UAZ 469

Almost all UAZ cars are SUVs and all-terrain vehicles, and every owner of such a car dreams of wheels of the corresponding type. Standard factory wheels on UAZ do not allow cars to demonstrate all their off-road capabilities. The maximum they can do is travel along city roads and suburban bumps.

Although, for example, the UAZ 469 car is intended for more serious tests, such as a real taiga with swamps, swamps and hills.

Are big wheels always good for UAZ?

Undoubtedly, by changing standard tires to large ones, the driver hopes to improve the driving performance of his car. Men dream that their UAZ 469 will look more brutal, and beautiful wheels will complement the picture of a powerful exterior. Sometimes the car owner himself does not understand why he needs it. You just need to make big wheels, and that's it.

A change in the diameter of the wheel by more than 5 cm is considered significant, since a smaller size does not give any noticeable rearrangements. In addition, a slight increase in the wheel does not require an obligatory change in the design of the car and does not in any way affect the chassis and handling. But if you increase the size of the tires by 10% or more, then the behavior of the car becomes completely different. The increase in wheels on the UAZ 469 primarily leads to costs related not only to the purchase of wheels and tires. We have to interfere with other elements of the car.

What are the advantages of large wheels for the UAZ 469?

1. Increased vehicle clearance. Due to this, the cross-country ability is improved and the angle of entry to a high altitude increases.
2. Better traction with a wider tire. This improves off-road, snowy and sandy terrain.
3. Large tires have an impressive thickness, so it is very difficult to damage them mechanically.
4. Due to the peculiarity of the structure of such wheels, the likelihood of damage to the disc is reduced.
5. Increased wear resistance, due to which the tire will last almost 2 times longer than the standard one.

It's harder to keep balance on wheels like this

What are the disadvantages of such large wheels?

1. Without preliminary preparation of the car for external changes, changing the standard standard wheels can lead to imbalance. The load on the transmission increases and the resource of its parts decreases.
2. The engine's ability to accelerate the car is reduced. This is due to the reduction in the gear ratio due to the increase in the wheel diameter. This is especially noticeable if the motor already has little power.
3. Getting into a rut, a car with large wheels resists it worse.
4. The braking system is less efficient.
5. Fuel consumption increases and the speedometer often lies.
6. Not every tire changer specializes in the repair of such wheels.
7. The prices for large wheels are significantly higher than for standard ones.

Characteristics of standard tires for UAZ 469

Standard tires for any UAZ car have their own characteristics, since they are considered light trucks.
