Pros and cons of a white car

Advantages of painting a Priora white hatchback car:

• Of course, a chic appearance! White color can visually increase volume. Therefore, clean and sparkling in the sun, as if from a picture, the white Priora hatchback always has an impressive and at the same time elegant appearance.

• In dry weather, dust and dirt are much less visible on it than on cars with a dark color. Pollution becomes noticeable only from a close distance, but from a distance the car appears clean. Accordingly, cleaning costs are reduced.

• White color tends to reflect sunlight. This is especially felt in the summer heat. The white Priora hatchback (photo below) heats up much less.

• It is clearly visible on the road, including at night. This most likely determines the statistics of accidents - white cars get into them much less often.

• The purer the white color of your Lada, the less susceptible it will be to fading. In case of repairs and the need for touch-up, it will be much easier to choose a shade that best matches the original one.

• Small scratches and chips are much less noticeable. This is because paint primer is usually white. Therefore, if the scratch is shallow, then it is not visible.

• White Priora hatchback lends itself very well to modernization. Tuning (pictured), which will make your car original, can be done with your own hands.

Stampings

Stampings on Priora R14 are designated by catalog number 21700-3101015. Original steel stamped parts are produced by Mefro and TZSK LLC. The part is painted in one of the following colors:

Black.
Grey.
Silver.

Lada Priora with r14 stampings are often found, since steel wheels were installed on most inexpensive trim levels, also due to the low price of stampings. Wheels on Priora - R14 stamping cost 800-900 rubles.

Review of the best summer and winter tires

For Lada Priora, stores offer a large selection of different tire models. Since models marked R14, R15, R16 are used on most modern cars. It won’t be difficult to choose suitable wheels for winter and summer – separately.

A good solution for summer travel will be the Toyo Proxes CF2. The cost of one tire of this model is no more than 2,200 rubles. Allows you to easily take sharp turns and provides excellent maneuverability.

Conti Premium Contact 5 is the fifth generation of the Continental series. The cost of one such tire is approximately 2,700 rubles. The main advantage of this modification is the ability to travel at speeds of more than 190 km/h and a short braking distance even on wet asphalt.

Nokian Hakka Green is a good option; it will cost the buyer only 2,400 rubles. The tires of this model are perfectly balanced and have a rigid central rib. It provides good maneuverability.

You need to be especially careful when choosing winter tires. The budget solution will be NEXEN 175/65R14 WG ICE PLUS. There are no thorns on it. However, the deep tread will allow you to feel confident on any, even the most difficult road.

SAVA 175/65R14 ESKIMO S3 also do not have studs. However, deep tracks in the tread allow for excellent water drainage from the contact patch. This eliminates hydroplaning. Rigid sides make the car well controlled on any road.

GISLAVED 175/65R14 NORD FROST is equipped with a large number of studs - which significantly simplifies the procedure for moving on icy roads. Even bare ice will not be a hindrance. Steel spikes perfectly hold the car on the road surface.

PIRELLI 175/65R14 WINTER FORMULA is a balanced tire designed for a maximum speed of 190 km/h and a load of up to 475 kg. The presence of studs evenly distributed over the surface allows you not to worry about braking.

GOODYEAR VECTOR 4SEASONS GEN-2 will cost relatively inexpensively - just over 3,500 rubles. Weather Reactive technology was used in production. Thanks to it, the wheels can easily adapt to any, even the most difficult conditions.

It is important to use suitable tires - this will make the car easier to drive and prevent an accident. Installation of non-standard wheels is allowed. However, in some cases, modifications are required.

Advantages and Disadvantages: Dies and Casting

Basically, cars are operated with two sets of tires: winter and summer. Therefore, in order not to waste time and money on seasonal tire fitting, purchase a second set of wheels. The wheels on the Lada Priora are either stamped steel or light alloy cast, and the car owners decide what type of elements to buy.

Differences in steel stampings:

Low price.
Maintainability.

The main disadvantage of stampings is their high specific gravity. The disadvantages also include low resistance to deformation and the fact that they are monotonous in appearance and not interesting. But a bent steel stamping can be easily straightened even by hand, and when deformed, the wheel absorbs impact energy, protecting the suspension from damage. Therefore, this can be a plus to some extent. The design can be improved by installing wheel covers, but some people like the look of a car with stamps.

Casting looks more beautiful, weighs lighter, since light alloys are used in its manufacture, and almost any design can be cast. Improving the design of the car and reducing sprung masses are the advantages of installing casting. The main disadvantage is the high price. Casting is three or more times more expensive than dies of the same size.

The strength of alloy wheels is higher than that of stamps, but this advantage has a downside. Yes, the casting can withstand light impacts, but after a serious impact, for example, falling into a hole at high speed, the casting can no longer be restored. The coating of most models is afraid of the aggressive action of anti-icing agents; this is the “scourge” of winter roads in large cities.

Therefore, stamps are better for winter - even if the steel rusts (which should not happen with high-quality painting), the wheels are easy to tint and inexpensive to replace. The almost continuous design of the stamping sidewall better protects brake system parts from snow and mud.

Care

In dry, sunny weather, cast aluminum wheels are least susceptible to external damage. But in slush, ice, when the road is strewn with various chemicals, the rim is most susceptible to corrosion. This provokes paint peeling and destruction of the molecular composition.

Wash your wheels as they get dirty. Since it is unlikely that you can clean it properly with a rag, use high-pressure compressors. Equipment of this class is available at many service stations, workshops, and service centers.

Systematic polishing allows you to get rid of scratches and burrs. First clean the wheel from dirt, dry it thoroughly, and then treat it with a chemical. Wipe several times with a microfiber cloth.

Store the wheels in a hanging position without touching each other. Pre-clean them, dry them, and wrap them in cellophane.

Some motorists practice applying an aerosol to the surface before preservation. However, this is a purely personal decision of the owner.

Wheel sizes: what wheels can be installed on Priora

Wheel arches of Lada Priora accommodate wheels not only of standard size. Without modifications, the Lada Priora can accommodate wheels with a diameter of 15 and even 16 inches, naturally, together with lower-profile tires than the standard ones.

It is permissible to install rims with a width of 5.0–6.0J. For non-standard wheel configurations, wider ones are used: 6.5–7J. Overhang within ±5 mm. That is, wheels with an offset of 30 to 40 mm are suitable. The use of spacers allows you to install a disc with a different offset.

A large assortment of both stampings and castings allows you to select wheels for the Lada Priora in full accordance with the wishes and capabilities of the owner. The main thing is to use high-quality wheels that fit the size and the appropriate tires.

What is the tire pressure

The consequences of too high or too low tire pressure are serious - it is necessary to operate the car with well-inflated tires. Regardless of the load, rubber used and diameter, the nominal pressure is considered to be 0.2 MPa. The width of the rim (5J, 5 ½, 6J) does not matter.

Using tire pressures above the minimum has the following consequences:

quick grinding of the central part of the tire;
poor handling;
There is a high risk of the wheel exploding.

Moreover, if a tire bursts while you are not driving, this can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences. For example, if the front wheel on the driver's side fails, the car may drift into the oncoming lane. Which will lead to a serious accident. Tire pressure should be checked before each trip. It is best to use a special device for this - a pressure gauge. It can be mechanical or electronic.

Many owners specially inflate tires to 1.7-1.8 atm. The main reason is greater ride comfort - thanks to the low pressure, shocks to the suspension are practically not transmitted to the passenger compartment and to the steering wheel. However, low tire pressure causes:

rapid wear of the tread - it wears down at the edges an order of magnitude faster;
increased fuel consumption - for every 100 km of travel, gasoline is consumed by 5-15% more.

Operating a vehicle with half-flat tires is dangerous. It is advisable to avoid such practices.
