Mud wheels 33 for UAZ. Optimal tire size 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 about rubber good articles, including on the website http://www.uazbuka.ru. I decided to compose the material from there and present it in 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 UAZ 🙂

"Foreign" tires for UAZ

Only tires of the Mud Terrain class are able to instill 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 are not forbidden to drive on normal roads. Efficiency when driving on the most different types soils, sufficient traction to overcome mud and ford, "puncture-proof", strength and movement at any inflation pressure - for this, Mud Terrain tires are loved by avid hunters and anglers, as well as off-road driving 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 Endurance (mileage in normal road conditions can reach 40-50 thousand km) and is produced in a wide range (nine sizes for 15-inch disks, 6 sizes for 16, two for 16.5).
Cooper Discoverer STT. Off road tire 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 (however, 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 area of "checkers" to the depth of the grooves), copes well with dirt (self-cleaning tread) and is not afraid of rocky roads (new super-strong rubber compound). 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 a huge 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 design that forms an impressive "paw" of contact patch) and therefore ranked it, no less than 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 overcoming 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, and the elastic rubber compound and strong cord provide the tire with passability over stones and cobblestones. The tire is not cheap and is only available in 4 sizes so far.

Tires for UAZ Pirelli Scorpion MUD.

Even a tire as “peaceful” as this one encompasses all the vast 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 on ordinary concrete or asphalt it goes 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 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 is perhaps 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 Shiny 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. Low profile and non-directional cross-country pattern provide high cross-country ability both when moving forward and backward in off-road conditions, on a snowy road 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 traveling 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)

Option "tractor tree" Yaroslavsky or Belarusian plant disappears for the following reasons:
-weighs a lot
-too large diameter (overloading of units, poor dynamics of acceleration and deceleration)

From the operation of my UAZ in difficult conditions the following requirements have been 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: "fir 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 protector 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:
-Under the cut camera like on trucks.
- when expanding the discs (according to the 2-one 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 rather 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 the wheels on a UAZ with military bridges and wheel arches. We look. 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 with 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 go much softer. Continue onto a country road. The vibration from the wheels has disappeared, you can go fast enough. On clay, the tire goes well, it 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'm trying the option of getting out of the rut without 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, to 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). Put it on alloy wheels with the shape of a star and departure ET = 0 (disks from Kamensk-Uralsky "Vicom" five-ray 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 (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 do not get tired when 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 dirt, and at the same time it is good on the track.

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

Although the rubber I-502 did not give rise to doubts about the cross-country ability of the UAZ, the directional stability on clay was not at all.

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, it became softer, more dynamic (although the latter is most likely due to more fluent 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 difficulty) 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 in 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 ground clearance will be more by one and a half centimeters. Whether it is a lot or a little is 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 are, 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 smaller than that of the 502 and standard ones. But this is such nonsense compared to the comfort and confidence on the road 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 drove on regular rubber... He broke the sidewall after hitting the curb tangentially. On the asphalt - great, on a 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 stood on the trooper, maybe it wasn't about the rubber

Tires for UAZ I-506

In the longitudinal direction, it clings super, brakes and paddles 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 too small, only about 29 inches.

By the way, I have already experienced it in the mud. Feeling very good - drawing large, with good distance between blocks. It cleans up 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 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 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 on the floor with a slipper 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 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. Ya-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 I-357 either ... In principle, on a wet clay track, I even rode it uphill (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 goes 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 think to remake standard wheels 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 on 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.

"Taganka"

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 have tried comparing in deep snow I-502 and I-192. This was done in the following way: on the I-502 I go 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 again try to ride along 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 hit the cigarette butt for 5 minutes and it shakes 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 with 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 I-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 it is 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, she succeeded easily. 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 it rocking, 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 it is still necessary to figure out what is invested in this concept), the rollers are obtained, as in the 245, only wider, but the car goes although it prowls to the sides, but it confidently climbs up the ascent, where there were problems at 245 (there was a case to compare, we drove two cars).
GOOD mud, after a good rain - allows you to ride one rear wheel drive, it was not possible to plant even once. Even if you rest against bridges and roll backwards for a long time before either making your way forward or backwards on your own, it doesn’t burrow like 192. I am very pleased with the ability to get out of a rut and not fall off the edge back, it holds side sliding well on slopes.
Clay - the protector is clogged, but the clay squeezes out perfectly. This weekend (6 people, 2 dogs, a full trunk) I got up on a clay rise of 30 degrees and only then I realized that I was driving 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- without question, it goes like on 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. I was 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 were 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 with 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 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, under any 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 the 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 Sergey Valerievich]

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

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:

The choice of discs and tires for the UAZ 469 is the most important factor affecting ride comfort and safety. In general, wheels for such SUVs do not differ in any design features and similar to other brands domestic cars... Consider the main parameters rims UAZ 469, 31512, 31514, 31519, 3153, Bars, Hunter.

The standard values for mounting discs are as follows:

Reaming 5 * 139.7, where 5 is the number of holes on a diameter of 139.7 mm.

DIA must be at least standard (108 mm), otherwise the wheel will not fit on the hub.

When choosing tires and wheels for tuning UAZ 469, it is important to consider the following:

The width of the tire must be matched to the width of the rim, as a rule, the tire manufacturer indicates this information on the tire itself, accompanied by the inscription: "recommend size for disc 15/8".

The offset of the disc is selected in such a way that the wheel during the articulation of the suspension, as well as the extreme positions of the steering wheel, does not come into contact with the body elements and the vehicle's transmission.

Let's consider in more detail the standard sizes of wheels for the UAZ Hunter, 469.

1. Standard wheels:

215/90 R15; 225/70 R16

If there are no global alterations planned on the car, but you just want to move away from regular disks to more reliable ones, then the line of ODS disks has the following sizes:

Wheels fit to them:

235/75 R15; 245/70 R16; 30 / 9.5 R15

2. To increase the wheels up to 31-32 inches, it is necessary to install a minimum suspension or body lift, change the offset of the off-road disk for UAZ Hunter towards negative:

31x10.5 R15; 245/75 R16; 255/70 R15; 255/70 R16

The angle of inclination of the UAZ Hunter pins is designed only for a standard overhang, using a negative overhang will lead to rapid wear of the pins. However, uazovody often use the old-style kingpin on the bushings or the kingpin and liners of the Altai company Vaxoil, which allow them to cope with the indicated loads.

3. The next step is to install a body lift of 2 "and above, switch to 33" wheels.

Off-road wheels for UAZ Hunter:

265/75 R16; 33 / 10.5 R15; 285/75 R16; 33 / 12.5 R15

At this stage, many Hunter owners stop, the car copes with the tasks of hunting, fishing and expeditions - where not only a single puzater will not reach, but also the owner of the same pepelats, only not prepared.

4. Further tuning - building 469 for specific off-road tasks. To install 35 rubber, it is necessary to carry out a number of works, in particular: body lift from 5 cm, suspension lift, usually 6 cm front suspension, 6-8 cm rear suspension. For such customers, there are many types, sizes of rubber, we will focus only on off road wheels on UAZ.

Ulyanovsk SUV UAZ Patriot standard configuration equipped with wheels of 16 diameters, the tire width of which is 235 mm, and the profile is 75% of this width. Such wheels are excellent option when the vehicle is used primarily on urban asphalt roads. But when you go off-road, then immediately, you realize that the car lacks large and powerful wheels.

Therefore, in this case, there are two options for getting out of this situation:

Install large wheel disks 18 inches, which will entail the installation of the appropriate rubber.
Set the rubber to 33 inches.

So, let's figure out the principle of how 33 is installed inch rubber on the UAZ Patriot SUV, and find out what improvements will be needed in this case.

Installation by lifting

Before proceeding to consider the process of installing rubber with a size of 285/75, we will determine what improvements will be required on the UAZ Patriot SUV:

Install spacers under the springs in the area rear suspension.
Install the reinforced springs on the vehicle's front suspension.
Replace the standard shock absorbers for products with a length of +5 cm.

So, let's get down to work and carry out the installation of all additions and spare parts purchased earlier:

Having carried out the installation of all these parts, the total cost of which is about 10 thousand rubles. Now you can install 33-diameter wheels that fit into the wheel arches without any problems.

The only point that should also be taken into account is the possibility of rubbing the tires on the plastic wheel arch liners during strong steering turns. In order not to wait until friction occurs, it is recommended to immediately carry out the following types of improvements:

But besides this, there is another option to install 33 wheels - this is a rework wheel arches... In this case, there is no need to redo the suspension and carry out the lift. But if you strive to make a real crook out of an SUV, then you cannot do without an elevator.

Widening the wheel arches

So, the second option, which allows you to install 33-diameter wheels on the Patriot:

To begin with, you should use a grinder to trim the wheel arches. To make sure where you really need to trim the arches, you need to try on the wheels and turn the steering wheel.
After trimming the excess part of the arches, it is necessary to straighten, putty and be sure to treat it with an anti-corrosion agent.
After such modifications on the left and right sides, it is installed new rubber 33 diameters, which will look just perfect on the UAZ Patriot SUV. We get such a car with new wheels.

After installing new wheels, you can test your steel horse and feel how much more confident he holds the road and overcomes various obstacles, even without the need to turn on all-wheel drive... At this stage, we can summarize and note that the installation of new 33-inch wheels is not mandatory, but cars with such tires can only be appreciated by true off-road car enthusiasts.

You can check your MSC and reduce it if needed!

The UAZ is a beast car, especially if not stock, but properly pumped and, most importantly, the tires have normal cross-country ability. Of course, I understand that all sorts there - it seems to be not bad, 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.

UAZ after all domestic car, So? 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.

Therefore, I offer you a selection of proven rubber domestic manufacturer... Some of the slippers can be cut and several times 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 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 row like a tractor and gets 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 one - 2800 rubles

Unlike the first one, there is no need to cut anything here, 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 in as any other rubber with a large tread.

The size of the rubber is ideal for the 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 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 do not 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 tractor VL-30)
Delicious price - 2800 rubles per bottle

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

In a swamp and liquid mud, there is simply no, this is its main jamb, all because it is oak and does not crumple even at zero pressure. For the swamp, save up for boggers or at least Simex)) And so the eff is very credible in 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 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 Oise, 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 into one - he doesn't need anything else, in his words))

Off-road tests

All owners of a UAZ car at least once in their lives, but faced with the fact that they needed to buy excellent rubber for their car, with which their "favorite" could overcome all the bumps and swamps. It is worth noting that everyone wants to find a versatile rubber that is ideal for both sandy roads and snow-covered trails.

The most important thing is not to be mistaken with the choice of the quality of rubber and to know the exact size of the tires on the UAZ, because you want them to serve not one season, but several years.

Classification of rubber

The first thing to do is find out what kind of mud grade the rubber has. This can be done by looking at the label on the bus. It should consist of three letters: MUD (MUD), which means "dirt". This abbreviation means that a car with such rubber will easily overcome clay, swamps and swamps. But you need to take into account that sellers love to praise goods you do not need, so find out exactly what you need for your car, because not every tire is good.

The types of rubber marked with the MUD mark differ from each other... The main difference lies in the tread pattern. There are two types of such rubber: swamp and sand. If the tires have clear tread contours with rigid side lugs directed towards the shoulder of the wheel, these tires are ideal for riding in mud. This type of rubber can be self-cleaning, as a result of which it passes better through the mud. This type of tire includes the following brands:

Kumho Road Venture MT KL71;
Federal Couragia M / T;
Maxxis MT-762 Bighorn.

Interco Super Swamper Bogger tires on UAZ

But the best, most suitable option is the Interco Super Swamper Bogger tires, which have high cross-country ability. Because of their high quality, these tires are more expensive.

Considering domestic tires, then the preference is usually given to Safari Forward 500 and Cordiant OFF-ROAD. In fact, this rubber has much worst quality than overseas, so it is better to avoid buying tires Russian production... For UAZ-464, such rubber will not work, something more serious is needed here.

Should you trust a brand?

Everyone knows perfectly well that the more good reviews about rubber and tires, the higher the demand for these types of products. But if you look at it from the other side, you can learn a lot. Advertising plays an important role, and a good marketer can always identify the most profitable market and special ways of selling in it, focusing on the brand to increase his revenue.

Tire tread

It is very sad that conclusions about the quality of rubber can only be drawn from our own experience. But further some tips will be presented on how to make sure not to be mistaken in your choice.

Research and compare the prices of each of the companies in question, but keep in mind that the cost does not always correspond to the quality, so the most expensive tires may disappoint you.

If you are unhappy with the tires you have, try another tire manufacturer. Don't be afraid to change them until you find what you want.

The most famous and demanded tires

Rubber option

Interco Super Swamper Bogger - in this case it can be argued that the price of the tires matches their quality. Both are at a high level. The disadvantage of these tires is their minimum size- 35 wheels. For UAZ-469 without changing the arches and the minimum of the lift will not work, but this rubber is ideal for the UAZ Patriot. Those who have such tires were able to improve them, increasing the vehicle's cross-country ability. To do this, you need to remove small lugs with a chisel or a hunting knife. This rubber meets all expectations, although its price is about 33 thousand rubles per cylinder.
BFGoodrich MUD-Terrain. Thanks to advertising, it is very popular. Most UAZ Patriot owners wish to purchase given view rubber without even thinking about the price. In fact, these tires are significantly overpriced. On average, 35 wheels from this manufacturer will cost you 10 thousand rubles. In terms of mud passability, the rubber is at an average level, as the dirt sticks and clogs the tread, it is very difficult to clean it. These tires will be suitable for driving on clay without extreme, and it is better to avoid getting into liquid mud.
4KING COBRA EXTREME is a rubber for extreme riding. Has a high cross-country ability on the track with heavy clay areas. 35 wheels are not rigid, frost-resistant and do not tan, in comparison with domestic rubber... Drives ideally on a bad road, the UAZ Patriot easily overcomes high climbs in wet weather. The price is pleasantly surprising, since it is much lower, so the tires are an excellent competitor to expensive brands, even surpassing them in some way.
Cooper Discoverer STT - tires from American manufacturers. The clearly defined tread pattern has very good properties that the UAZ Patriot needs, but there is a small drawback: when driving on clay, the pattern becomes clogged. The price range for 33-inch wheels is 10-12 thousand rubles. These tires are not suitable for extreme driving, but it is worth noting that they have high durability when the cars are driven on asphalt.
