The choice of discs and tires for the UAZ 469 is the most important factor affecting ride comfort and safety. In general, the 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 indicators 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, this information is indicated by the tire manufacturer 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 transmission of the car.
Let's consider in more detail the standard sizes of wheels for 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 and sizes of rubber, we will focus only on off road wheels on UAZ.
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 of things there seem 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 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 to do 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 the 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 track 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 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 checked 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 flatten 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 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 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 me into this - he doesn't need anything else, in his words))
Reliable and practical cars UAZ are popular in our country. The lineup 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 UAZs. It is versatile and quite durable. It can be used both on the track and on bad roads. Off-road, it simply will not be of much use - mud models are 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 applies to performance characteristics... When choosing mud tires for UAZ, it is important to take into account the required size of the tire, its 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 tougher 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 an ornament 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 highway, road, universal and high strength products. Seasonal - 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. I took a similar type of product a little bit and from road modifications, and from generic versions. It must be remembered that they are also not intended for winter operation.
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 tire 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 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 is 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 off-road rubber. American production... 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, for the UAZ-469 car, as well as for the Hunter and Patriot, they are not recommended to be used. In this case, the tire is smaller than necessary. One should not expect much efficiency from them. But if you buy 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 in this rubber. The owners claim that it 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 summer, it is a reliable option, but in winter, all its effectiveness is reduced to zero. Also, those who 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 they 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 standard size wheels "Loaf" 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
Nokian SUV is an improved version of the previous model, which 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. Rubber released Korean manufacturer... The product is quite high quality and is offered by 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 shows itself perfectly 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 even on the road.
Conclusion
Here 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, and there are options for extreme lovers. There is even a good choice winter tires... Thus, your SUV will be on full alert all year round. You just need to choose the right tires and change your vehicles on time.
Ulyanovsk SUV UAZ Patriot standard configuration equipped with 16 diameter wheels, 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 need to be made on the UAZ Patriot SUV:
- Install spacers under the springs in the area rear suspension.
- Install reinforced springs on the front suspension of the car.
- Replace standard shock absorbers for items 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 it holds the road and overcomes various obstacles, even without the need to turn it 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!
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 that 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 High Quality such 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 very 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 lift will not work, but this rubber is ideal for 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 cross-country ability on mud, the rubber is at an average level, as the mud 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 - 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 well-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.
