What is the tire pressure on Kalina
There is debate among car enthusiasts about what pressure should be on a Lada Kalina, Grant or any other model of this Russian manufacturer. Some look at the passport and inflate the tires in accordance with standard values, others try several options for tire pressure.
We can definitely say that the pressure in the Grant, Kalina or Priora tires affects the chassis, affects fuel consumption, and also promotes or prevents rapid tire wear.
Standard values of tire pressure
There are 3 options for the state of tire pressure in a Lada:
- understated. There is an increase in the contact of the surface of the Grant, Priora or Kalina wheel with the road surface, which accelerates the wear of the product. Fuel is consumed faster and braking distance increases;
- overpriced. The wheels of the car are in less contact with the road surface, which increases the likelihood of a quick repair of the chassis. The rate of wheel wear also increases. At the same time, the car's handling deteriorates at high speeds or sharp turns. Passengers and the driver feel that traveling in the car is becoming less comfortable - the car bounces even on small bumps;
- normal. By this pressure we mean an indicator that is in the range of 5-15% of what is indicated on the car or in the passport. In this case, the tires wear evenly. Staying inside the car while driving on uneven road surfaces or off-road is comfortable.
Features of wheel inflation
To ensure comfortable and safe driving of the Kalina in winter and summer, it is necessary to measure the degree of tire inflation with a mechanical or electronic pressure gauge.
You can find the recommended tire inflation value on a Lada on the body on the driver's door or on the glove compartment door.

You will also see the optimal inflation mode in the table given by each tire manufacturer. The values in it are adjusted depending on:
- number of passengers, luggage;
- car model (indicators for Grants, Priora and other Lada models differ depending on their weight).
Remember that the same pressure must be maintained in both winter and summer.
Recommended tire pressure for Lada Granta cars
However, there is a nuance: if the Lada Kalina is parked for a long time in a warm garage or service station, prepare for a slight decrease in tire inflation after driving out into the cold.
Thus, you will have to inflate your car tires more often during the cold season.
The standard value of pressure in the front and rear wheels for the Lada Kalina should be as follows:
- for the VAZ-1117 model - 1.9 atm on the front and rear wheels when partially loaded, as well as 1.9/2.1 on the front and rear wheels when fully loaded;
- for the VAZ-1118 model - 1.9 or 2 atm at partial load, as well as from 1.9 to 2.2 atm at full load on the front and rear wheels, respectively;
- for the VAZ-1119 model - 2 atm at partial and 2/2.2 atm at full load on the front and rear wheels, respectively.
Allowable air pressure in the tires of the Lada-Kalina
Experts call a partial load of a Priora, Granta or another Lada model when up to 3 people are in the car, provided the trunk is unloaded. Full load - the maximum possible number of passengers in the car and cargo in the trunk (with a weight of less than 50 kg).
If you want to know the tire inflation levels, wait until they cool down (after a long ride or exposure to the sun). This will make the pressure gauge results more accurate.

Optimal tire size for Lada Granta
As for how to make driving on rough roads more comfortable with tires, it is best to choose those that have the highest profile. Due to this, the wheels will be able to absorb large irregularities.
In this case, the best option for the Lada Grant is tires with size 185/60R14.
The question “which tires can be supplied on a grant” cannot be answered unambiguously. As with other cars, choosing tires and wheels is a priority for every driver, since the correct selection will ensure a comfortable and safe ride.
In order to choose the right size and find out which tires are best for the Lada Grant, you should look at many factors that directly influence the choice.

Any owner of a Lada Kalina has thought about what pressure should be in the tires of his “iron horse”. This is due to the fact that as the vehicle is used and loaded, it decreases and also requires regular pumping. This can be done at a tire shop or yourself.
Recommended tire pressures
A visual diagram of tire pressures and their effect on the condition of the tires
As practice shows, the recommended tire pressure on the Lada Kalina, with standard factory tires, must correspond to the manual, which clearly states: front wheels - 2.2 bar, and rear wheels - 2.3 bar. The majority of Kalinovods agree with this statement.
Excerpt from the instruction manual for Lada Kalina
But, from experience, motorists use different pressures for different times of the year. For example, in winter the following indicators are set: front tires - 2.0 bar, rear tires - 2.2 bar. But for the summer, the best option is: front tires - 2.1-2.2 bar, rear tires - 2.2-2.3 bar.

Tire options and pressures
Non-standard tires have their own tire pressure options. So, for wide-profile tires, the standard indicator is: front tires - 2.4 bar, rear tires - 2.5 bar. If the tires are narrow or low profile, then the pressure in the front tires will be 1.8-2.0 bar, but the rear tires will be 2.0-2.2 bar.
conclusions
Tire pressure on the Lada Kalina plays an important role. Thus, it can increase or decrease traction on the road surface, and also affect vehicle control on wet or snowy roads. The controllability of the car also depends on the pressure indicator. So you need to monitor the pressure in the tires, and also remember to pump it up if necessary.

№ | Positive |
1. | Vasily: KAMA tires are of average quality, a little noisy, but they suit me. I'm not going to change it. I think 2-3 seasons will be enough. |
2. | Kirill: I have Kama-217 from the factory, no complaints, the tires are of average quality. I'm not going to change it, let it last for a few seasons. |
3. | Vladimir: I heard negative reviews about the Lada Granta Liftback tires. Not the best, but you can use them, let them go. The car is only ten months old. |
4. | Ignat: I bought a Granta a year ago, and as part of the promotion I also bought four Kama Breeze 175/65 R13 winter tires. Handling on snow is average, the main thing is not to overdrive. |
5. | Vladislav: since I drive no more than 85 - 90 km/h, factory tires suit me. A little noisy, but tolerable. |

1. | Victor: since the factory tires are of poor quality, after buying the car at the dealership I immediately changed to a set of new ones. Additionally, I bought four winter stingrays. |
2. | Ivan: factory tires are no good, already at a speed of 80 km/h they hum, vibrate, and send vibrations to the steering wheel. Balancing and wheel alignment did not help eliminate the vibrations. I will exchange it for foreign analogues. |
3. | Vitaly: after buying the car I immediately changed to Toyo shoes, and additionally bought a set of winter tires on sale. |

Conclusion Installing factory winter tires on the Granta Liftback is not the best solution, because you cannot expect something luxurious from a car in the budget segment.
Each owner independently chooses the type of tire to purchase. Do not buy all-season tires, since the range of temperature conditions is significantly limited from specifically winter to summer.
