Choose the wheels on the "Niva"

Undoubtedly, Viva Niva is an off-road vehicle that has far more passability than its "glamorous" competitors from France and Germany. You can talk for hours about what kind of pits and fords can be overcome by the Niva. However, if it is not prepared for it properly, even on asphalt it will be dangerous to exploit it. One of the main aspects that affect the passability of the Niva and the safety of the traffic as a whole is the condition of the tires. On the "bald" rubber you will not go far, and this can be understood without any explanation. But how to proceed when choosing a wheel for the "Niva"? In this matter, we will just help you figure it out.

Choose the type

First of all, when buying, you should decide which tire this will be - just a highway or off-road (it's also called mud). The first type of tire is designed for comfortable movement of cars on asphalt terrain. Such tires are more suitable for driving around the city and country road. The mud wheels on the "Niva" are installed only in the event that this SUV participates in trophy raids. Also, an off-road tire is especially relevant for hunting and fishing enthusiasts. In the question of what wheels to put on the "Niva", it is important to remember that the mud tires are not adapted for driving on a simple asphalt. They wear out quickly, and the car itself loses control. The car at a high speed throws from side to side, and in the cabin you can hear a terrible rumbling and vibration. Therefore, if you need this car just for driving around the city, buy and install road wheels on the "Niva". Mud tires are mounted only when the SUV is mostly used over rough terrain.

If on weekdays you use "Niva" for trips around the city, and on weekends you leave off-road, get just two sets of tires - mud and highway. And to make it easier for you to install them, change them together with the disks.

Tread

Regarding the protector, we should note that the highway wheels to the Niva should be good for draining water, that is, to have good drainage properties. Although for an SUV like the VAZ 2121 this is not so important, as, for example, for the passenger "seven", as under the weight of the jeep the pressure on the working surface increases. Accordingly, the water itself will be removed from under the protector. The mud tires do not have such a requirement - they should excrete the mud outwardly. Remember that the more massive lamellas and checkers, the more dirt they will grab. Accordingly, on their characteristics will depend on the permeability of the car on a primer or other roadway.

What wheels should I put on the Niva? Select a manufacturer

We will not agitate for specific firms, but only note the fact that domestic tires in terms of quality are very much inferior to imported ones. Therefore, when choosing wheels for "Niva", pay attention to foreign products. And one more thing - buy tires only from the world's leading manufacturers, since, having overpaid an extra hundred rubles, as they say, "for a brand," you exclude the possibility of buying substandard or defective rubber.
