Native tires UAZ loaf. Tires for UAZ loaf

09.12.2021

Buhammers are excellent vehicles for hunting, fishing and for those who live by the "gifts of the forest" - they collect mushrooms and berries for delivery. Space in the back is simply immeasurable, it is easy to take 5-7 people into the wilderness. However, from the factory, absolutely inappropriate tires are installed on the car - the all-season Kama-219. In fact, this is neither fish nor meat - it is not normal to drive through the mud, nor on the highway or on a winter road.

Well, if you want to get deeper into the forest off-road, the tires will definitely need to be changed. Therefore, in this article we will make a selection of minimum and maximum size mud tires that can be installed on the Loaf.

So, the stock tires are 225/75 / R16, in inches it will be 29.3 ″. Thirty inches for a loaf is just tears, it is highly desirable to make at least a minimal revision of the car in order to install at least 32 ″ tires. And as soon as it goes, you will reach 35 ″ - this size is more than optimal, the ground clearance will increase very realistically. But for now, let's not talk about the elevator and cutting arches, for a start we will consider what kind of rubber there is in the size of 225/75 / R16 and close to this, but does not require modifications.

Cordiant Off Road

The all-round mud rubber that revolutionized the off-road world. Completely won the lowest price segment, because there are practically no competitors. Available in the size of 225/75 / R16, for the money everything is fine here, the tires are worth their money completely.

For the initial off-road and go fishing this size and this rubber is quite enough. This is purely mud tires, and it is highly discouraged to ride on it in winter. Rows smartly in the mud, however, the "slippers" are extremely oak and it will be uncomfortable to pick out on a specific off-road. In general, it can be recommended for those who do not want to bother with car modifications. As they say - put it on, sat down and drove off. You will go much further than on Kame-219.

Contyre Expedition

One-to-one tread pattern with Cordiants, as well as with the first goodrich. Also available in the standard Bukhanov size. However, the Kontyres are really better than the Cords, because they are noticeably lighter and softer. However, the size here is a little less than the declared one, so in comparison with Korda you will lose about half a centimeter in clearance. For the standard tire size, this is not critical at all, so instead of Cordov it is quite possible to put a Contair Expedition.

Cooper Discoverer STT

This is a chic American mud car, but quite expensive and it is highly discouraged to put such an expensive rubber in such a small size. If you have already decided to put Cooper, then here is the normal size for a Loaf - 265/75 / R15, in inches it is 30.6 ″.

To install everything, you will need to cut the arches, you won't even need to do any elevator. Nevertheless, if you decide to set the standard size - there is also a Cooper 225/75/16. However, size 265 is essentially optimal. If we increase the size even more, then we look towards the increase in the profile - 80 and 85.

On the 16th discs there are tires of excellent size, for the installation of which you will have to prepare the machine a little. Elevator or cutting arches, and even very large sizes - both.

Omskshina Ya-192

Legendary "pyataks", purely Oazovskaya rubber for tru uazovodov. The size is unusual - 215/90 / R15 (in inches it is 30.2 ″). A narrow and tall tire, very often seen on Loaves, Hunters and 469s. Classics of the Oise genre. Excellent rowing of dirt, and if you cut it, it starts digging like an excavator. It is installed without any alterations at all, put it on and went. Great budget option. To whom the already excellent cross-country ability of these tires is not enough, they may well cut the "nickels" through one side block - there will generally be fire!

Omskshina Ya-245

Another classic of the genre, by the tread pattern you certainly cannot say that the tire is passable, but the Uazovody are an enterprising people, and therefore they manage to make an "all-terrain" out of such rubber - for this it is enough just to cut the tires correctly. The cut Ya-245 is really similar to the Simex Jungle Trekker 2. The size of "Yashek" - 215/90 / R15 (30.2 "), it is most often bought" for cutting "- a great option, how to put extreme rubber on Buhammer at a low price. We highly recommend it.

BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T / A KM2

A new model of goodrichs, which replaced the T / A KM. An excellent size for Buhu - 265/75 / R16, in inches it is already 31.6 ″. To install such good rubber, you can only limit yourself to sharp arches. Goodrich of this modification is specially designed for mountainous terrain, for stones and serpentines. However, it kneads dirt well, but if you compare it with extreme rubber, then the difference will be just colossal. Considering that this size of Goodrich will cost you a very serious amount, it is better to add a little more and put Simex (about them below).

For off-road fans who have decided to prepare the Bukhanther more seriously, we recommend paying attention to the R15 rubber, there is a lot more choice here. However, let's agree right away - we are not afraid to cut the arches and set the cut to 30-32 ″)) In this part of the selection, we will consider rubber in the amount of 30-32 ″ on R15 disks.

Federal Couragia M / T

Available in sizes 265/75 / R15 (30.6 ″) and 255/80 / R15 (31.1 ″). Who needs it, there are also large sizes.

It is optimal to take the second one - a little more clearance, and the improvements are exactly the same - just cutting the arches. Those who do not want to cut arches can make an elevator, but remember that out of 2 evils (cutting or elevator), the elevator is several times worse, since the controllability and safety on turns and rolls deteriorate.

Dried apricots are a serious MUD rubber, not extreme, but much better than Goodrich in cross-country ability. Very soft, and therefore perfectly flattened off-road. Still, it's rare to get into the wilderness without the grass of the wheels. Couragia M / T is not pop music, it is serious tires, on which offroaders on the Oise won the competition, making even cars with extreme training and the same tires.

And, of course, consider the "extreme" class rubber in large sizes - only for prepared cars. Cutting arches, lifting the suspension or bodywork - all this will need to be done in order to install these "chic" sneakers, which also stand quite well.

Forward Safari 500

The analogue of the famous Simex is purely extreme rubber, our domestic, and therefore very cheap compared to imported analogs. The only size is 265/75 / R15. From the pros - gorgeously digs dirt, clay, does not get washed out, inexpensive. Of the minuses - very oak and azzy heavy. As a budget option for those who want to seriously increase cross-country ability without critical investments.

Simex Extreme Trekker 2

Size 275/80 / R15 - in inches it is as much as 32.3 ″. Serious size, and the rubber itself is just fire. A classic of the off-road genre, everyone wants to put it on, but not everyone has the financial capabilities, because the rubber itself will cost from 50k per set, and even the preparation of the car will result in certain monetary expenses.

Simex Jungle Trekker 2

Jungles are a very desirable rubber, just top class. In the mud, they are really good, pure extreme class. The side lugs are simply monstrous, thanks to them it gets out of the rut without any problems at all. There are simply not many advantages, but there are no disadvantages at all. So if you are looking for extreme all-terrain tires for Loaf - pay attention to Jungle Trekker. The only thing - keep in mind that the dimensions here are really huge. The minimum is 31 × 9.5-16, the minimum for R15 is 31 × 9.5-16. Therefore, in order to put the Dzhangly - Loaf, it will be necessary to specifically refine it. However, if you do this, you will be able to leave in such a jungle where no one but you will reach))

The UAZ is a beast car, especially if it is 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 good, 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.

The UAZ is a domestic car, right? 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.

That is why I offer you a selection of proven rubber of a domestic manufacturer. Some of the slippers can be cut and significantly 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 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 rowing like a tractor and getting 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, 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 as any other rubber with a large tread.

The size of the rubber is ideal for a 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 bit more can cut it. There are also several cutting options for I-192, here are a couple:

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 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 up its drawback - the Yashka is narrow, and the F-201 is wider. The side lugs are solid, the tread pattern is very large. For mud, 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.

There is simply no mud in a swamp and liquid mud, 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 terms of 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 UAZ, 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))

Some car enthusiasts are accustomed to driving not only in small, maneuverable cars, which are ideal for driving in a large metropolis. A small car is easier to park, since it does not require too much space and is cheaper to maintain (small engine displacement), but having in addition such a car as a UAZ, huge opportunities open up for the car owner. A car like this can rightfully be called a beast car. Not a stock properly pumped car, which has tires of normal cross-country ability, is able to cope with any off-road conditions.

Rubber "Goodrich", which is chosen by many owners of a UAZ car, naturally has excellent characteristics, however, such tires are quite expensive. In turn, at the car market you can buy various Russian tires, which are no worse than foreign ones, especially since the rigid structure of the UAZ suspension is able to withstand different loads. However, like any other product, the rubber on the UAZ has its own advantages and significant disadvantages; in the material below, the principle of the correct choice of the optimal rubber for the domestic UAZ car is considered.

UAZ "Patriot"

Features to consider when choosing tires for UAZ

Naturally, the main criterion according to which the choice of tires for a UAZ car will be made is the conditions in which the car is operated. It is no secret that tires, which will be an ideal option in strong off-road conditions, helping the car owner to overcome any obstacles during a hunting or fishing trip, will be different from regular tires. In the first case, you may need tires of special cross-country ability, while in the second case, it is enough.

As practice shows, on the UAZ car, which has retained its primary appearance (the factory car) and has not subsequently undergone alterations, rubber with a height of 29-31.5 inches is installed. Most often, in car markets and in relevant stores, you can find tires that have dimensions:

  • 215 / 90R15;
  • 235 / 85R16;
  • 240 / 80R15.

It should be remembered that it is wise to “dress” the UAZ wheel. In the event of even minor overloads and while driving at high speed, the car's suspension touches the arches. In connection with this feature of the domestic car, when operating the UAZ in medium off-road conditions, it is advisable to worry about raising the suspension by 6–8 cm. Thanks to this simple maneuver, the car owner will be able to "shoe" his car in rubber with greater cross-country ability, for example:

  • 265 / 80R15;
  • 265 / 85R15;
  • 265 / 90R15;
  • 285 / 750R16;
  • 290 / 80R15;
  • 290 / 80R16;
  • 320 / 70R15.

Among other changes that can be overtaken by a UAZ that is regularly operated in strong off-road conditions, it may be necessary to trim the arches. It is worth noting that those car owners who will subsequently drive their UAZ through the wilderness of impassable mud will have to first remake their car, the body, suspension and transmission will be subject to global modifications, first of all. If the owner of this large, ubiquitous car makes all the changes correctly, he will be able to equip his vehicle with tires measuring 35-39 inches.

Rubber, which is suitable for a UAZ car, like other cars, can be summer and, accordingly, winter. In turn, these types are subdivided into the following types:

  • universal (can be used in almost any conditions);
  • mud (ideal for medium off-road);
  • extreme (as the name suggests, they can be used on any off-road, where there are no paths or tracks).

Rules for choosing tires for UAZ cars

Any rubber, both mud and universal, must comply with several interrelated factors. The first thing to consider is the SUV model. In practice, completely different tires will be optimal for different car models, the size of which will directly depend on the angle of rotation of the wheels, suspension travel, gift space, strength and power of the gearbox. In practice, many UAZ car owners are trying to do everything possible to remove the restrictions provided by the manufacturer, however, this may require impressive capital. For example, the easiest way to modify the UAZ "Patriot", since it is on it that you can easily and simply install larger tires. Together with the size of the rubber, the ground clearance of the car increases at the same time, in view of this circumstance, it is advisable to "shoe" your vehicle in tires of the maximum size.

Especially in mud, it is very important to pay attention to the level of preparation of the car for off-road conditions. The car owner should be careful about the design and tread pattern of the tire, since these factors determine the "strength and depth" of the off-road, on which the car will be able to drive in the future. It is advisable to choose a larger tread pattern (most experienced drivers purchase a herringbone pattern, considering it the most suitable choice). For example, when driving in swampy and muddy terrain, it is best to buy the softest mud tire. This type of tire makes it easier to drive, as it does not tear the turf and easily overcomes bumps, taking advantage of the additional grip. A good choice is tires that have diagonal grooves that can remove dirt by pushing it out as the wheel rotates.

By no means the last factor that you should pay attention to when choosing tires for UAZ is the cost of the product, which, in turn, will depend on the manufacturer (brand promotion), tire size, design and tread pattern.

It is worth noting that it is better to take care of buying the optimal pair of tires in advance, as practice shows, quite often only the most popular models are on sale, many tires may simply not be available, since they are sold exclusively by prior order.

Purchase of tires for UAZ "Bukhanka"

UAZ "Loaf"

Many years ago, the UAZ "loaf" car produced by the domestic auto industry belongs to the class of Russian off-road vehicles. During its existence, the car fell in love with many car owners. Even now, the car is justly popular. Most likely, attention to such a vehicle was drawn not only by private drivers, but also by large organizations, because of the good passability of the "loaf" and its reliability. You can meet such a car at the forestry staff, the "loaf" is used in agricultural work, it helps the Emergency Situations Ministry and the ambulance service. These cars do an excellent job with off-road country paths, where it is especially important to choose the "right" rubber, which depends on the season.

Selection of winter tires for UAZ "Bukhanka"

If the priority of the car owner is to purchase, he must proceed from the technical characteristics of the car. Such rubber should be universal, on which the vehicle owner should easily pass off-road and impassable mud, and flat sections of the road covered with asphalt.

Most often, UAZ "loaf" car owners opt for domestic tires, for example, such as Ya-192. This rubber belongs to the military type tires, which have an aggressive tread. True, in severe frost, such rubber begins to slip, depriving the car owner of safe movement. However, I-192 perfectly show their characteristics on sections of the road with deep mud in the spring and autumn periods.

K-151 tires, which belong to all-season tires, are of good quality. They have an aggressive tread, at the same time, such rubber is relatively soft, thanks to which the "loaf" will be able to ride on it even in cold weather.

Choosing winter tires for a "loaf", it is necessary to start from two criteria: firstly, the car should be easily controllable, and secondly, not to slip on the icy road surface. Great stability in winter provides a small traction patch. When buying spike tires, you should choose those models on which the spikes are located in a chaotic manner. The possibility of self-studding of tires is not excluded, however, not all rubber is suitable for this manipulation.

The choice of mud tires for UAZ "Bukhanka"

UAZ "loaf" is considered an ideal vehicle for hunting or fishing trips. This assistant will be indispensable for those who often go to the forest to pick mushrooms and berries. In addition, the car itself will fit about 5–7 passengers, the car will easily deliver everything collected by these people to the house. All-season rubber Kama-219, which is equipped with a car at the factory, is not suitable for driving on complete off-road, it is impossible to drive it with complete confidence on the highway in severe frost.

If the car owner plans to travel on off-road or snow-covered forest trails, then he should know how to choose the right mud tires for his "loaf".

A good option for mud tires is the Cordiant Off Road tires, which are all-round tires from the lower price segment. A little more expensive is Contyre Expedition rubber, which has the same tread pattern as the previous version. The advantage of Contyre is their lightness and softness. You can opt for the Cooper Discoverer STT model, which belongs to the American manufacturer. However, the cost of such tires is much higher than other options.

Mud tires

Selection of summer tires for UAZ "Bukhanka"

When choosing, a car owner who is looking for rubber for a "loaf" must take into account the peculiarities of such tires. Summer tires are somewhat tougher than winter tires. This type of tire is able to withstand high temperatures, giving the driver good handling on hot trails. It is preferable to opt for models with an asymmetric tread pattern, due to which good grip will be provided. The depth of the purchased rubber will only affect the level of wet grip. You should carefully study the labeling of the tire to find out about the quality of the rubber and the properties of the tire.

Conclusion

When choosing rubber for a UAZ car, many factors must be taken into account. First of all, you need to make sure that the specific tire model fits the car. The correctness of the choice made will also depend on the selection of the optimal width and size of the tire. Before buying, you need to read the information provided by the car manufacturer in the documents, and, in accordance with the recommendations, purchase the required pair of tires.

Created on the basis of an off-road vehicle, a car with a minibus body UAZ-3962 (3309), in colloquial terms - UAZ loaf, has received the widest distribution. Despite the unprepossessing appearance and technically outdated design, due to its high cross-country ability and reliability, the machine is used as a workhorse and is currently being produced. Ambulance service, Emergency Situations Ministry teams in forestry and agriculture - all this applies to this vehicle.

Taking into account the difficult conditions, increased requirements are imposed in those conditions when tires are selected for a UAZ loaf. The conditions when the machine mainly works on urban asphalt roads differ significantly from the conditions of rural off-road. In addition, rural roads vary significantly with the seasons.

Wheel size for UAZ

The standard tires on the UAZ loaf are installed with the following size: 225/75 R16, and in some periods the car was equipped with 235/74 R15 tires. In any case, it must be borne in mind that the staging diameter of the disc must be within the range of 29-33 inches. This dimension does not lead to additional changes in the vehicle design. Additionally, the steel disc must meet the 5x139.7 mounting size requirements.

There are known cases when tires were used on a wheel size R17, but with the very tire of a low profile. However, due to the large selection of standard rubber of any model, this practice has not become widespread.

In the event of an overloaded vehicle or at maximum suspension travel, even when the tire is set to the normal dimension, the rubber touches the wheel arches. This situation is not critical and there is no serious destructive effect on rubber.

Taking into account the prevalence of the car and the most varied operating conditions, a wide variety of tires are provided for installation on a UAZ loaf. The market presents not only the categories of domestic, but also imported rubber for UAZ. There are 3 main categories:

But any owner must choose for further use exactly the model that suits the performance of specific tasks. Since it is hardly possible to have fun driving around on noisy mud tires, while at the same time with a significantly increased gas mileage.

Line of domestic tires

Among the domestic rubber options, the following brands are considered mass models.

Universal tires for UAZ:

  1. Bel-24 235/75 R15. The Belarusian analogue has good average characteristics in all respects, fully justifying the purpose of the tire as a universal one. High wear resistance is noted, and operating experience allows us to speak of a resource of 60 thousand km.
  2. "I-502" has a size of 225/85 R15. The lifting capacity is 950 kg, and the maximum speed is 150 km / h.
  3. "Ya560" allows a maximum speed of 180 km / h.
  4. "Ya-357A". This is a radial version of the above mentioned rubber, which is distinguished by better speed and is able to withstand a large permissible load up to 1060 kgf. This type of tire is somewhat softer and, with a similar pattern, tolerates movement on soggy mud much better. Good directional stability on the road can also be noted.
  5. "Ya245" and "Ya245-1" has a size of 215/90 R15. This tire brand has a low maximum speed of 110 km / h and a relatively low weight of 775 kgf.

Rubber for use on mud

Among the requirements that can be set when choosing rubber for use on bad roads are:

  • developed lugs;
  • weight not exceeding the permissible value for the car;
  • permissible width is not more than 250 mm;
  • affordable price;
  • tire sidewalls resistant to external influences.
  1. "I-502". It has a number of advantages: low noise level, good maneuverability on any roads and low rolling resistance under good road conditions. This model copes well with resistance to mechanical damage.
  2. "I-506". It has good resistance to longitudinal displacement and excellent directional stability. It has a low noise level, and additionally allows the screwing of studs for the winter period. The only gripe is some wheel stiffness.
  3. "I-520". Another worthy representative of rubber for UAZ. This tubeless model allows the car to hold the road with confidence and handle in a variety of conditions. Rubber noise does not exceed transmission sounds. This tire has good self-cleaning properties, which is important enough for an off-road tire. It is noteworthy that for this model it is easy to find snow chains.
  4. A relatively new model was the Y471 model. The tire provides a smooth ride, slightly swallowing minor irregularities. Good directional stability and low noise level are provided. Decently behaves not only on muddy roads, but also in the sand. Notes on this model include difficult balance.
  5. An excellent rubber for bad roads is the Y192 tire. This is one of the best mud tires available. However, the model is somewhat noisy on asphalt and does not differ in smooth running.
  6. "Ya409". This rubber for UAZ is suitable for use at any time of the year. The model copes well with mud, but also feels comfortable on snowy roads. Performance on clean ice is slightly worse, but the car can be handled while driving.
  7. The Y358 model is designed primarily for installation on the front driving axle. This bias tire is not very fast. But it does an excellent job on rough roads, with the exception of swampy areas, where it is capable of self-burying.

Import

Among foreign manufacturers, you can name a very large number of models that fit the UAZ loaf. Among the tires for standard operating conditions alone, there are more than 3 dozen models. All of them are located in the price range from 5 to 13 thousand rubles.

Among the most attractive purchase options in terms of price-quality-performance ratio is the Bridgestone 694 235/70 R16 model, which is optimal for roads with good coverage. But the off-road performance of this tire is low. The cost of this model is within 7.7 thousand rubles.

The range of mud tires is available in 30 different models. All of them fit into the price range up to 9 thousand rubles. One of the worthy representatives of such models in the Standard class is the Dunlop MT2 225/75 R16. This model will cope with most of the bad roads and only in sticky clay can it fail. Possesses good self-cleaning ability. Can also be used on asphalt without any problems. Of course, the acoustic comfort will not be the best. The price of one wheel will not exceed 8 thousand rubles.

Norm for an all-terrain vehicle

One of the most requested tires is the Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT 225 / 75R16E. This model combines not the highest cost (about 9.7 thousand rubles) with understandable behavior on rolled snow and ice.

Pressure indicators

Compliance with the level of air pressure in the tires affects, as is known, not only the wear of the wheel tread, but also the performance of the machine as a whole. An important note is that the tire pressure parameter is monitored on cold tires. After an insignificant mileage, the controlled parameter may differ by 2-3 tenths from the norm.

The recommended tire pressure for off-road tires on the front wheels is set within 1.7 atmospheres for rubber with an index (Yaroslavl) and 1.9 for other manufacturers. For rear tires, tire pressure is set in the same way - 2.2 for Yaroslavl tires and 2.4 - 2.5 for other manufacturers.

Motorists who choose UAZ vehicles, first of all, value their cross-country ability and reliability. All UAZ models, shall we say, are spacious, but sometimes this is not enough. For such cases, the UAZ Loaf model with increased capacity is provided.

In addition to the fact that the car includes an increased volume of cargo, it can accommodate more than five people. Accordingly, tires for UAZ Bukhanka need powerful tires that can withstand the expected load.

In addition to the UAZ-452, the Loaf includes the following models:

Alternative names - Tablet, Baton.

Tire pressure and dimension

To maximize the potential of this SUV, you will need to select tires of optimal parameters and maintain a certain pressure in them.

Regarding the pressure, it is worth noting that it should not exceed 2.5 atmospheres. At the same time, in the front wheels it is recommended that the indicator be slightly less than in the rear.

So, let's consider the optimal mud tires for the UAZ Loaf.

Cordiant Off Road

These Russian tires are the most budgetary option, but because of this, their quality still does not suffer. For small off-road conditions, these tires are quite suitable. Their wide tread grooves keep dirt out.

However, due to the fact that the blocks are made of hard rubber, on strong off-road conditions, the car equipped with the Cordiant Off Road feels insecure. They are best suited for summer season and country road use. In winter, the rubber becomes overly hard.

Contyre Expedition

This model has the same tread pattern as the previous one. Therefore, self-cleaning from dirt is also good.

However, the Contair Expedition tires, also produced in Russia, are better because they are made of softer rubber. Thanks to this, it became possible to conquer off-road more seriously. But on the pavement, they are also noisy and poorly controlled.

Cooper Discover STT

These tires from the American company Cooper significantly outperform previous models. However, their main disadvantage is their high cost. UAZ Bukhanka is a budget car, and not every owner is ready to put such expensive tires on it.

The rest of the tires are excellent. The central rib provides good handling, the side blocks are reinforced, so when hitting an unevenness, the tires do not deform. The passability of a car with Cooper Discovery CTT increases markedly.

BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T / A KM2

This American model is still a novelty, so it has few competitors. It is recommended to install such tires if the UAZ is supposed to move around mountainous terrain, stones and serpentines.

Also BF Goodrich Mad Terrane are also suitable for off-road driving, since the grooves form whole channels that are well cleared of dirt.

Of the shortcomings of this model, it is worth noting that when installing on a Loaf, you will need to cut out the wheel arches, albeit a little. Their cost is not the lowest, but tires are worth their money.

Omskshina Ya-192

Consider an option from Russian manufacturers. These tires belong to the budget, therefore they are often found on UAZ Bukhanka cars. They seem to be specially prepared for these machines, since they are installed simply and do not require alterations.

Thanks to the tread, the cross-country ability is excellent, on the mud they feel "at ease". If you need very inexpensive tires with good flotation, then this is ideal.

The body of the UAZ Loaf is more like a minivan, not an SUV, but nevertheless, thanks to its high ground clearance and reliable suspension elements, this car becomes a loyal companion when overcoming off-road terrain. To prevent the car from getting stuck, it is recommended to select high-quality tires for it that are unable to fail at a crucial moment.

If a Bosch fuel system is installed on the car, then it is better to order high-quality diagnostics and repair of Bosch injectors from professionals who are able to identify even the smallest deviation from the norm.
