Each time the winter occurs, many drivers begin to think about buying new tires for their car. For popular in our country, Chevrolet Niva SUV, there are a large number of different types of tires that provide good behavior on the road.
Some prefer. But this is a rather risky option for those places where the temperature most of the time holds below 0 degrees. All-season in such conditions loses its properties, so it is necessary to go as much as possible. Basically, preference is given to studded or velcro. Winter tires for the Niva Chevrolet should be chosen most carefully, because this car has the highest demands, so in addition to the price, attention should be paid to many other factors.
First you need to decide on the size of the tires. To do this, it is best to look at what are used at the moment by car. The most common winter tires Chevrolet Niva has parameters 215 / 65R16. This type of rubber is installed on the disks with a diameter of 16 inches. Therefore, if there is no purchase of new disks along with rubber, then you need to pick up tires with the same parameters so that you can move them. Next, consider the highest quality models of popular manufacturers.
These tires can be attributed to the most budgetary option. Their value ranges from 3000-3500 rubles. They provide good clutch with ice. It will not be difficult to move on the snowy caress. The only minus can be the loss of characteristics at a temperature of over -5 degrees. This is due to the fact that they were developed for use exclusively in winter. Therefore, this type is not very suitable for those who are accustomed to transubstate without waiting for the onset of frosts. This can lead to bad manageability on a wet road, as well as to an increase in the brake path. This type of rubber is not equipped with spikes, i.e. Treat the class of "lipuchk".
Kumho I'Zen KW22.
Another representative of the budget series. Compared to top brands, for example Nokian, their price is approximately 2 times lower and at the moment it also fluctuates in the area of \u200b\u200b3,500 rubles. At the same time, the manufacturer offers winter tires to the Niva Chevrolet size of 15 inches, which makes it possible to significantly save, because their cost begins from 2800 rubles. Such wheels will already be equipped with spikes, which will provide them with good stability on most coatings. But at the same time they will be more noisy than the first option.
You should also take into account the fact that this brand has a high percentage of spikes. For the season, you can lose up to 20%. Despite the fact that other brands consider not more than 5% permissible.
AMTEL NORDMASTER ST-310
Such a winter tires on Shevy Niva also will not hurt much on his pocket. Cost of tires 3200-3400 rubles. But at the same time, this copy has very strong noise issued when moving. This is especially noticeable when compared with other brands. But this is manifested mainly when moving at a speed of more than 60 km / h, so those who are more important to move the car for movement outside the city may not be much worried about this.
Pros are high-quality materials and spikes. This allows you to provide confident clutch with an icy crust. You can also note the successful design of spikes. Thanks to a strong base, they are almost not lost.
Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000
This kit can already be attributed to the average price category. The price for 215 / 65R16 begins from 4500 rubles, which is already higher than the previous options. But they have a significant number of advantages:
- Famous brand that can guarantee quality
- Reduced noise level
- Strengthening spikes
- Improved clutch with ice due to the special geometry of the tread.
But this product has some cons, among which you can select the instability of the movement along the loose snow.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7.
These tires can be attributed to a premium brand. The cost begins from 7 thousand rubles behind the tire. At the same time, on the forums it is difficult to meet at least 1 negative feedback on the winter tires for the Chevrolet Niva. Having installed on the car, this product can be felt confidently practically on any surface, since only high-quality materials are used for production, and the smallest detailsStarting from the shape of spikes and ending with the pattern of the tread is carefully developed to achieve the maximum result.
Those car owners who have ever tried to choose winter tires to Niva, it is well known that the choice is relatively small. The regular sizes of the back of the Niva with a diameter of 16 inches leave some variants of brands and tire models.
To expand the number of options winter tiressuitable for installation, many Niva owners prefer to change station discs The diameter of 16 "on the discs 15", for example, from the Chevrolet Niva, which are suitable without any improvements.
From this article you will learn:
The editors of the site "First on the tires" picked up the top 10 better options Winter tires on the Niva.
16 inches standard tires
The regular size of the tires on the Niva is sufficiently peculiar - 185 \\ 75 \\ R16 - narrow and high tires 16th diameter. Tires of such dimensions are not given so many manufacturers, but a narrow and high winter rubber 16 diameter - and less.
Since Niva is primarily an SUV, so there are most often selected studded tires.
Among one of the most popular are Vli-5 and Vli -10. The tires of this brand are installed at the factory, so this option is the most inexpensive. But not the most optimal, since the driving characteristics of these tires leave much to be desired.

Since instead of these dear tires of the 16th radius, you can install the tires of the 15th radius, which will cost noticeably cheaper.
Options for 15 inches size
As permissible, the manufacturer of the Niva provides for the size of the tires 195 \\ 70 \\ R15 and 205 \\ 70 \\ R15. In this dimension, it is already possible to find quite a lot of relatively inexpensive and good winter tires.

Niva Chevrolet, judging by the survey on the site, is the second most popular SUV among Russians. However, it is rigidly exploited (as an Niva, for example) very few people. And it turns out that the chevka for many is a sort of expeditionary, on which, for the most part, go along the highway, primers and quite a little bit of mud.
That is why the most popular tires, of course, are mud class All Terrain.. They are not so mud as the class MUD terrain, but they can also be found quite far away. But on the highway go comfortable, and we wear such tires not as fast as MT mud.
In our selection, we will look at the top ten of excellent tires class AT - for use 80% on the highway and 20% of dirt. Painter universal tiresMany of which are all-season and are exploited all year round.
Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10
One of the best at-shook on the Niva Chevrolet, I have such a size of 215/75 / R15 (there are spacers on the front balloon 2 cm, for the front spring springs, and so the size easily gets up in the stock car). My mileage is already 60 thousand km and the front wheels finished percentage of 40, the rear - wear is only 20%. Sustaceous rubber, soft, comfortable, competed on dirt somehow with Cordians and looked very worthy. Cords sometimes went further, but on the highway they went to them - the tin is complete. And on Hancake - beauty. Highly recommend. My exploitation is all year round, even in the bubble frost (-32 Celsius) the tire remained soft and did not double. Really, the best mud all-season, and we tried pieces of 5-6 for sure.
Maxxis AT-771 "BRAVO"
The 771th Maxisses also stand in the top of the best all-season, which are optimally suitable for the expedition points of the Chevy Niva. Soft, comfortable, it turns out not fast, the dirt is rowing for at-shki is just wonderful. The drawing of the tread in general of all at-shek is very similar. Well, here there are white beaks, maybe someone is also important)) In general, Bravo can very often see on the backsacks and for use 80/20 dirt / dirt comes perfect.
BONTYRE STALKER A / T
New season 2015, at the moment has already collected a lot of positive feedback. Nivods mark the softness of the tire, comfort on the highway, the fortress of the sidewalls and excellent passability for the tire of this class. True, there is only size 205/75 / R15, as well as 215/65 / R16. That is, for cross-auto, such dimensions hide perfectly. The price tag is not to say to cheap, but cheaper than the top import bus percent for 25 for sure.
Kumho Roadventure AT KL78
Another amazing tire of class All Terrain. The tread pattern is quite large for at-shki, as a result - a good passability of off-road (measure, it is not a MUD-tire). On the highway - comfortable, the tire is soft, on the chevik you can keep the cruising speed of 100-110 km / h and ride without straining. Off-road - the distance between the tread bribes is wide enough, therefore it takes out of the contact stain that it is not bad. Minus the fact that there are no side "teeth (primrates panels), so it goes bad out of the rut, but show me at least one at-shku with the soils)) for my money this tire is just super, you can ride a lot on asphalt, and then take and take it Go fishing and wrap in a messy. If we are going to one, then the presence of the winch must, since good at-tires drag so that you start to believe that you will drive everywhere))
Matador MP 71 Izzarda
Matador is a continental division, and the Germans can make rubber. True, more highway)) But this model turned out to be very good, the tread pattern is aggressive and large, checkers are large and the distance between them is decent. You can easily see on the cheviks, since most rolling more well-known rubber. But pay attention to Izard, a typical cross-tire, ideal for primers and light off-road. Benda consumption compared to the highways increases at least a liter onto a hundred, this is a fee for versatility, because now you can easily go easy to fish.
Cordiant All Terrain.
For a long time known and proven tire. Not so popular as Cordiant Offroad, nevertheless ideal for a tourist car - on the highway is not bad, the primers are excellent, light off-road - not bad. It is positioned as all-season, but it is better to use only in summer. Insensitive, moderately comfortable, good budget option. The drawing of the tread, of course, with a slope towards the "movement on the highway and primers", if you often go from the track, it is better to look after something more off-road.
Bridgestone Dueler A / T D697
The classic of the genre of at-sink rubber, a large pattern of tread, large checkers and a decent distance between them. Ideal for light off-road, non-fastened sidewalls. In clay, of course, climb, it is still not pure mud. There are a lot of positive feedback - the people rolling around 70 thousand km, the tire is grieving quite slowly. That is why many of her and put it - there is enough for a long time, on the highway perfectly, in the primers and fields - excellent, light off-road - wonderful. In winter, it is not worth using, even in zero duby and becomes plastic. In this regard, Hankuk is sharpener. But for the passability, the bridge is not inferior at all, drags on the dirt until the latter. For AT-Rubber, the result is just chic.
Cooper Discoverer A / T3
Not available, but really worth the tires. I saw live once and how she was driving on the mud - it was cool, it was the impression that it was established on the shniiv purely mud tires, For Nivka Pearl as a tank. Premium rubber, costs expensive, but enough of its seasons on 4-5 and it doesn't matter how much asphalt you will drive. On the highway it turns minimally, although the rubber is soft, that's what the quality import means. Find on sale is not easy in the desired size. From the AT-Skece, it is definitely in the top 3 in its characteristics. Super rubber.
All of these 8 models can be safely taken and put on the Niva Chevrolet, there are the desired dimensions - 215/75 / R15, 205/75 / R15 or 205/70 / R15, some models are in the 16th diameter. Leave your reviews in the comments on tire models, recommend anything else from your experience.
On the nose, soon winter and motorists came to think about the conversion of their car in winter "shoes". Today we will look at the most popular tire models for the domestic SUV Niva Chevrolet. yes what to say there, I myself bought not so long ago this carwhich I simply struck me with dirt and other off-road, although the tires are all-season tires.

Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic
The tires of the middle segment, the cost of the tire 215/6516 is about 4800 rubles, just more expensive than Bridgestone. Rubber studded with a decent speed index. The main difference from the tires of other brands is square spikes, which allows them to be latter to stay on the icing track. Also out of the pros - on the loose snow, it is not worse than mud tires for dirt)) that is, just fine.
When speeding above 60-70 km / h begins to make noise, in principle, most of the studded tires are noisy, so nothing like that. The spikes are not lost, even if drive along bare asphalt.

Among SUVs domestic production Niva Chevrolet received deserved sales leadership. But uses it in direct appointment - on the off-road - a relatively small percentage of owners. This car acts as everyday vehicle. Most often it can be found in rural areas excellent option For a dirt road and driving on the highway. Not everyone decides on the "knead" on Niva Chevrolet.
Wheels and rubber on Niva Chevrolet
Tires define the magnitude of the road lumen, the permeability and in some cases noise. Plant manufacturer on Niva Chevrolet. Sets several types of tires. IN basic equipment L and LC are installed radial 15-inch products (R15) with dimensions 205/75 and 205/70. Equipment for LE can be equipped with alloy alloy wheels with rubber parameters 215/65 R16 off-road characteristics. Top GLS and GLC are also equipped with licensed discs of size 215/65 R15. Although the manufacturer positions such a type of rubber as an off-road, the owners prefer for off-road more high-profile products. Chevrolet Niva Chevrolet wheel size has the following:
- the rim width is 6 inches;
- the diameter of the rim is 15 inches;
- disc deposit - ET-40 (the distance between the surface of the disk mount and the rim plane is 40 mm);
- breaking - 5x39.5;
- the diameter of the hole under the hub is 98.5 mm.
When choosing rubber, be sure to consider the disk size. Someone buys all-season tires and uses only them in winter and in summer, someone prefers to have different sets for different weather conditions, up to mud rubber for off-road.
Security can only guarantee tires created for one or another road surface. As such, universal rubber does not exist.
Selection of summer tires
To select the right rubber for the SUV, you must follow the recommendations of the manufacturer and take into account the conditions of operation of the vehicle.
Figure tread
Tire protector is used different not for beauty. From this parameter depend performance features. There are three types of drawing:
- Symmetrical, without direction. The classic velocity of the tread is suitable for riding in the city and on the track. This drawing is often used on low-cost tires. budget class. Characteristics do not depend on the direction of movement and operating conditions. Standard option from the manufacturer.
- Symmetric, with direction. Rubber with a similar pattern is characterized by a good clutch with an expensive and efficient removal of water from the contact spot. Great for speed driving, including rainy and spring weather. Cannot be installed on any hub, as they have a strict direction of movement, indicated by the arrow on the cord.
- Asymmetric. The universal pattern is equally suitable for raw weather, and for dry. It is found not only on SUVs, but also on sedans, and family universal. On this rubber there are different drawings on the inner and on outside. Installation also need to pay attention to the Inside / Outside designation.
Each of the listed drawings of the tread has both advantages and disadvantages.
Speed \u200b\u200bindex
An important parameter for selecting tires for Chevrolet Niva. Marking in the form of Latin letters denotes the maximum speed, which can be developed on the data of tires.
For civil versions of rubber, the maximum speed comes up to 300 km / h. It is not worth considering them, since for Chevrolet Niva, the speed of 140 km / h is already the maximum - more of her force aggregate will not pull. Rubber S. high index It is worth an order of magnitude more expensive, and it makes no sense to overpay for it.
Load index
The parameter determines the load, withstanding rubber, subject to movement on maximum speed. This is a car weight with passengers and a cargo allowed to one wheel. The index is from 70 to 120, which corresponds to the load from 335 to 1400 kg. If you plan to transport passengers and heavy loads, it is better to take tires with a high index. But buy tires with an index that is not appropriate maximum loadallowed by the manufacturer, also not worth it.
Tire frame
By its design, the tires can be radial or diagonal. The latter today is practically not used. The letter R in the designation of the radius and indicates that this is a radial tire. Also enhanced tires with the designation C (Cargo) or LT (Light Truck) are also found. They are commonly used to transport heavy loads. You can combine all available information and choose rubber for the summer, guided by three basic scenarios:
- Riding in calm city and highway. For such conditions, tires with an average profile are suitable, symmetric pattern Protector without direction or asymmetric with a speed index of up to 140 km / h.
- Riding at maximum speed. It is better to choose rubber with a lower profile and high speed index.
- Riding off-road. To do this, choose high-profile rubber with a deep tread - mud.
Selection of winter rubber
The owners believe that winter tires on the Niva Chevrolet has nothing, the car is an SUV. The reason why motorists do not want to put winter tires, simple: large financial expenses. Even tires made in Russia and with the minimum possible radius for the Niva are expensive. It is not enough to buy such winter tires, you will have to pay for tire service and make a gathering / collapse in order to save the product longer. The amount is rather big. SUV needed winter tires, and there are a number of reasons for this:
- The all-wheel drive car slows down in the same way as the monoprifer, the difference is only in the speed of overclocking.
- On a slippery road car with fully drive and increased road clearance Much less resistant, since the aerodynamic characteristics leave much to be desired.
- The SUV shows a good off-road, and not to ice.
- Any SUV is quite large relative passenger cars Weight, which means he is more inert. Regardless of which tires are installed, the braking path will still be more due to weight.
The only thing Chevrolet Niva boasts is a high passability of loose snow. In all other cases, the driver must keep greater caution. This means that it is impossible to neglect winter tires. For an SUV, such type of tire is no less important than for cars of another class. When choosing winter tires, follow the following rules:
- Classical winter tires - selection of calm and neat drivers.
- You need to choose winter tires in accordance with the climate. If the winter is soft and practically no snow, then it is better to consider all-season tires.
- You can not change the winter tires only on one axis.
- All tires should be with the same characteristics and one manufacturer, otherwise there may be problems with control.
- Depending on the driving style, the tread pattern is selected with the corresponding speed index.
If most of the ride in the winter is carried out on icy road coveringIn this case, do not do without spikes. This option implies a quiet ride, as the adhesion is reduced with an expensive at increasing speed.
Selection of all-season tires
All-season tires differs from the others with its own protector. The whole secret is that inner side Such a tire is used to ride in a loose snow, and the outer is to remove the water from the tire contact stain to provide a better clutch with the road. When choosing special attention It is necessary to devote the composition of the all-season tires installed on the Niva Chevrolet.
Hard tires will suit the summer exploitation, reducing wear. Soft better shows himself in winter for traveling on snow-covered and zelard tracks. Rubber S. middle rigidity At the average level will cope with its task at any time of the year. Structure all-season rubber It is selected in such a way that it does not double in frost, and in the summer they did not break. With all this, it is not subject to rapid wear when driving on a dry road and relatively safe when moving through snow or ice.
When choosing all-season easy to navigate, if you know the basic labeling, applied to the sides of the rubber:
- AllseSons (AS);
- Anyweather (AW);
The last two designations are used by manufacturers for summer tires.
According to various tests that are regularly conducted by authoritative publications, each year confirms the same: high-quality all-season tire It can not be cheap. All-season rubber has a number of significant drawbacks:
- high noise;
- increased fuel consumption;
- reduction of dynamic characteristics;
- increased wear.
Such tires can be used in the following situations:
- soft winter with positive temperatures;
- limited budget;
- there is no place to store two sets of rubber;
- the desire to save on the tire terminal;
- the off-season when putting the summer even early, and the winter sorry to put wear.
Winter tires are always out of competition on an icing track. All-season shows the following results: Compared to winter, they are worse coping with their task by 30-40%, studded show the result is better than 90%. The same disappointing results and on loose snow - worse than 85%.
