- 5 rim width in inches;
- J symbol for the rim profile;
- 14 or 13 tire rim diameter in inches;
- H2 symbol for the shape of the rim landing flanges;
- ET symbol for rim offset;
- 35 rim offset in millimeters.
Warning! It is impossible to install on cars with engines 2112 and 21124 discs with a rim diameter for a tire of 13 inches due to the larger diameter brake discs installed on these cars.
Note. Rim offset (ET) - this is the distance between the plane dividing the rim of the disk in half (plane equidistant from the rim flanges) and mating (fixing) disk plane.
Cars are equipped with tubeless tires 175/65R14 82H, 185/60R14 82H (with discs 5Jx14H2 ET 35) or 175/70R13 82T,N (with discs 5Jx13H2 ET 35), Where:
- 185 or 175 profile width in mm;
- 65, 60 or 70 the ratio of the profile height to its width in percent;
- R designation for a radial tire;
- 14 or 13 tire diameter in inches (corresponds to the fit diameter of the rim under the tire).
- 82 load index (maximum allowable tire load 475 kgf);
- T,N speed indices (the maximum allowable speed is 190 and 210 km/h respectively).
Warning! Cannot be installed on cars with engines 2112 and 21124 tires with a speed index below H (210 km/h) due to the increased dynamic qualities of the car.
The maximum tire load is duplicated in deciphered form, along with an indication of the maximum allowable air pressure in the tire.
It is allowed to install wheels 5½Jx13 on cars (only for cars with engines 2111 and 21114!), 5Jx14, 5½Jx14 and 6Jx14.
Warning! The fit diameter of the tire must necessarily correspond to the fit diameter of the rim under the tire.
Giving recommendations in the choice of certain tires, the manufacturer proceeds from the conditions for ensuring maximum stability, handling, cross-country ability and safety of the car. So, discs with a long overhang can touch the parts of the brake mechanisms, and with a smaller one, they increase the load on the hub bearings and can lead to unpredictable behavior of the car during emergency braking or in the event of a failure of one of the brake system circuits. High-profile tires can touch body parts at maximum suspension travel, and wide tires can rub against the car's side member or fender at large turning angles. A tire with a lower load index may burst under the maximum load of the vehicle, and an underestimation of the speed index is fraught with destruction of the tire when driving at high speed.
Tires that can be installed on a car are divided into three types: summer, winter and all-weather. If the car is operated all year round, and the winter is snowy, then it is better to have two sets of wheels: with winter and summer tires. Winter tires are made of softer rubber and have narrow wavy sipes on their tread. This allows the tire to better cling to the roughness of the coating and not "petrify" at negative temperatures. Winter tires can be printed on the sidewalls "M+S" or "M.S". The possibility of using studded tires in winter depends on the specific operating conditions of the car. Keep in mind that studs are designed to improve the traction of a tire only on slippery hard surfaces such as ice or packed snow. In other cases, the spikes are useless, and on asphalt they even slightly worsen the grip of the tire with the road.
The use of a winter tire in the summer leads to intensive wear.
All season tires can be used all year round. From the rest of the tires they are distinguished by the inscription "All season" or "Tous terrain" on the sidewall. In terms of their performance, they behave satisfactorily in various weather conditions, but at the same time they lose in terms of technical indicators to summer tires in summer, and in winter to winter ones.
The tread pattern can be universal or directional and not regulated by the manufacturer's requirements. With a directional tread pattern, the inscription is printed on the sidewall of the tire "Rotation" and an arrow indicating the direction of wheel rotation as the vehicle moves forward.
