More than half a century has passed since the world saw the first UAZ-452, popularly known as the "Loaf". The car received such a funny nickname for its uncomplicated shape, reminiscent of a loaf of bread. The “Loaf” owes its longevity to its all-passability - the minibus is equipped four-wheel drive... There are still more directions than roads in the post-Soviet space. The UAZ is also incredibly maintainable - it will be possible to repair it in the event of a breakdown even in the most remote village.

How to choose the right tire option

First of all, the owner should decide in what conditions the car will be used. UAZ "Bukhanka" was developed as a multipurpose vehicle. Even in the factory versions, there are more than a dozen of both cargo and passenger modifications.

UAZ "Loaf"

If a car will run on normal or country roads most of the time, and serious off-road conditions will only dream about, then a lot of native size is provided on the market alternative options... A wide price range will allow you to choose tires for every taste. Starting from budget domestic producers and ending with expensive imported ones.

Note!

The original size for the "Loaf" is already positioned as tires for SUVs.

It is worth understanding the labeling of such tires. Typically, manufacturers label as follows:

HT - half terrain or highway terrain. Such markings indicate that the tire is intended to be used more on asphalt and dirt roads. On the off-road, you shouldn't really rely on them.
AT - all terrain tires can already be used on light off-road. Asphalt and dirt roads for them - a native element, but if you go somewhere deeper, then such tires will cope with many tasks.
MT - mud terrain. They feature a powerful and aggressive tread pattern that allows you to move where ordinary rubber has long given up. Will be noisy on pavement, may be difficult to handle and have increased wear.

"Kama-219"

On modern modifications from the factory, the most unpretentious tires are installed on the UAZ "Bukhanka" - "Kama-219" with a dimension of 225/75 R16. These are all-season tires, which, according to the owners' reviews, do not differ. positive qualities... And if you drive off the road or wait for winter, you will immediately want to pick up tires for the "Loaf", corresponding to the operating conditions.

Earlier editions of the "Loaf" were equipped with rubber dimension 215/90 R15.

On a note!

At present, UAZ Bukhanka is especially popular among hunters, fishermen, and gatherers of forest gifts. All thanks to the high capacity and cross-country ability. Such users will definitely want to use the off-road capabilities of UAZ to the maximum. In this case, the choice of rubber comes down to mud.

If you do not have high requirements for cross-country ability, then off-road tires on UAZ "Bukhanka" can be supplied in their original size. It will be possible to drive them much further than on a standard all-season, but for more difficult driving conditions, you will have to ask yourself about installing more serious wheels.

Installation of mud rubber in its original size will not require additional modifications to the body and suspension, but it will significantly increase the "Loaf" passability. Among the domestic budget options, it is worth noting Cordiant Off road and Contyre Expedition. It is easy to confuse them by the tread pattern. According to the owners, "Contyr" is softer and lighter, but its physical size is slightly smaller than that of "Kordiant" rubber. At this size, losing half a centimeter of ground clearance is not critical, but the gain in comfort will be noticeable.

Mud rubber Silverstone 35

More economical options for diameter 15 - "Omskshina" Ya-192 and Ya-245. Among the "Bukhankovodov" they acquired the status of classics. Off-road permeability is high, it rakes well in mud. Often these models are purchased for further slicing.

When the blocks are cut correctly, an ultra economical extreme tire comes out. For craftsmen and lovers of experimentation, it is an ideal choice.

Often on the "Loaf" they put rubber 33 and 35 inches. Large mud tires on the "Loaf" confronts the owner with one problem. In order for the installation of such wheels to go without problems and further operation did not cause any difficulties, you need to either raise the body above the frame (make an elevator), or cut and weld new arches.

The “Loaf” lift for 33 wheels is needed so as not to radically change the body structure by cutting and welding new elements. You can carry out the lifting process with your own hands by installing spacers between the body and the frame. On sale there are spacers made of plastic, rubber and metal. You can find them in any car market or in shops specialized in UAZ. From the tool, you will need a regular jack and a set of keys to carry out the alteration. The procedure is simple, but it can take a long time.

It is worth remembering that the body lift is fraught with deterioration in handling. Also, the center of gravity of the car rises, and this threatens to reduce safety in turns or rolls.

Therefore, a safer modification of the body, so that the loaf goes on large wheels, is a rework of the wheel arches. This is a costly option, but does not in any way impair driving performance, which is very important off-road.

Tread cutting

In some cases, you cannot do without an elevator - you have to cut and lift.

The wear of off-road tires is a sore subject for motorists. In addition to uneven wear, you can often find sidewall damage - sharp stones in the mountains, sticking out branches in the forest. There is danger everywhere. And when driving on asphalt it wears out very quickly.

On long journeys, owners often face problems with uneven tire wear. This can be caused by unpleasant incidents. For example, when hitting, wheel alignment can fly off.

Off-road wheels are difficult to balance, especially those that are no longer new. All this can ruin a tire even in one trip. V best case her life can be extended as a spare tire.

With proper car care, you can avoid, if not all, then many cases in which uneven or premature wear of expensive tires occurs.

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.

UAZ after all domestic car, So? 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 - 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 of them:

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))

Buhammers - great cars for hunting, fishing and for those who live by the "gifts of the forest" - collects mushrooms and berries for delivery. Space in the back is simply immeasurable, it is easy to take 5-7 people into the wilderness. However, absolutely not installed on the car from the factory suitable rubber- 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, standard tires comes in the size 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 get to 35 ″ - this size is more than optimal, ground clearance will increase very realistically. But let's not talk about the elevator and cutting arches for now, 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 conquered the inferior 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. However, if you decide to put 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 ″). Narrow and high tire, very often you can see her 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” - great option how to put extreme rubber on Buhammer at a low price. We highly recommend it.

BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T / A KM2

New model goodriches, 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, this is serious rubber, on it offroaders on the Oise won the competition, making even cars with extreme training and the same tires.

Well, let's consider, of course, the "extreme" class rubber in large sizes- for prepared machines only. 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))

What discs and tires to choose for UAZ Bukhanka? Winter wheels on the UAZ loaf

Tires uaz loaf

As you name the car, so it will go. Familiar situation. True, without wheels, and even more so without tires, it already becomes problematic. In any car, tires are the strategically needed little thing.

Let's see what tires can be used if your car is UAZ "Bukhanka

Optimal tire pressure

Why is it important to consider the tire pressure level? An experienced driver knows that this affects tread wear and overall off-road performance.

The most optimal tire pressure, for example, for SUVs on the front wheels is no more than 1.7 atmospheres, if you have tires with an index (made in Yaroslavl) and 1.9 (if other manufacturers).

The rear tires contain 2.2 for Yaroslavl-made tires and 2.4 - 2.5 for other manufacturers.

Tire size

The next task for the car enthusiast is to choose optimal size tires. Which ones are needed?

Factory rubber on UAZ "Loaf" is installed with the size 225/75 R16, in some models the tires are 235/74 R15. It is important to remember here that the diameter of the disc is in the region of 29-33 inches.

Situations are known in history when tires with a R17 wheel were used, but this was not developed. If the maximum suspension travel is allowed, then the rubber will touch the arches themselves.

Thus, any modification of the Loaf is equipped with 16-inch steel discs with an index of 5 × 139.7. In other cases, they can be replaced with R17 and R18 wheels with the same numbers and tire size 225/75 R16.

Will all tires fit?

Now it is important for us to understand what tires can be installed on our "Loaf", which manufacturer, so that these tires serve us as long as possible? It is important to figure it out here.

If you are not too lazy to go to the nearest car market and walk through the stalls, then before your eyes a grandiose picture of the assortment and all kinds of tire options will appear. You will be literally overwhelmed by the choice, the variety of manufacturers.

So what do you do? The main factor will be the availability of conditions under which the machine will operate.

There are many manufacturers. But can everyone be trusted? For example, you can put universal tires: Bel-24 235/75 R15. Among the advantages: high wear resistance, resource up to 60 thousand km. “I-502 with size 225/85 R15. Model "Ya560 with increased maximum speed.

There is a variant of the Ya-357A installation, which is distinguished by the best speed and the ability to load up to 1060 kgf. Also suitable "Ya245 and Ya245-1.

Any driver who respects himself and others on the road must constantly take care of his car and do for him only what will be beneficial, not harmful.

What kind of rubber is better to put on UAZ

During the operation of the car, I tried a lot of what kind of rubber and for myself I have already made a choice, what kind of rubber is better to put on the UAZ. I don't experiment anymore. I tried it not only by manufacturers, but also by brands.

Manufacturers first. During the purchase of the car, there was no particular choice and it was necessary to take basically what was. And the rubber “Voltyre I-245” was distributed, while its quality was disgusting. During the year of the run, it could become covered with cracks, followed by a breakthrough of the side walls. At the same time, tires of this brand installed from the factory took several years to wear out.

Although this rubber is described as winter, but for me, it goes more like an all-season, as it goes well in mud and snow, and also holds the road. After wear and tear, Voltyre no longer returned.

Then I bought rubber from SIBUR - Omskshina OJSC of the same model Ya-245. At the same time, they have it like a summer one. And everything would be fine, but a hernia appeared on 2 out of 5 balloons. The rest honestly worked the entire term.

Then it was the turn of the rubber “Kama, back again, of the same model. Why back this one? I liked it. As I said, it holds the road well, it is not too bad in the mud, and most importantly, it is not very noisy on the asphalt. So far, there are no complaints about the quality, but it is understandable, since it is still somewhat more expensive. So if you have a question, what kind of rubber is better to put on the UAZ, try this one first.

But for off-road driving in heavy mud, it is better to buy something more serious. The last purchase of rubber for its UAZ a 3303 is "Contyre Expedition". Its marking is Expedition 215/65 R16 98Q. I put it only from late autumn to spring. You can't imagine better off-road tires for UAZ. The car goes confidently in mud and snow. The noise level on the asphalt is slightly higher, but not much higher. In principle, it can also be installed in the summer.

Excellent all-season for UAZ Contyre Expedition

I used to put Voltyre VS-5 tires for the summer. The car goes smoothly, but driving it in the mud is just awful.

Of course, my opinion may not be very objective, but I hope the article will help someone decide which one is better to install tires on your UAZ.

Selection of stamped discs and rubber for UAZ Loaf

UAZ Loaf (UAZ-452/2206/3741/3909/3962) - truly legendary car... Produced at the Ulyanovsk plant since 1965, it has not lost its popularity today. The car combines such qualities as increased cross-country ability and excellent capacity, which makes it indispensable for travel, hunting, fishing in off-road conditions.

But the car really reveals its merits after various modifications that allow expanding the range of its capabilities: self-blocks that improve off-road movement, springs and elongated shock absorbers that make the car's suspension softer, off-road tires with disks that increase the vehicle's cross-country ability, body lift, winches, bumpers, etc. All these modifications make it possible to turn an ordinary UAZ into a prepared off-road SUV.

But no matter what tuning is installed on the UAZ 452, it is necessary, first of all, to very carefully approach the choice of wheels. If you have decided on the size of tires, it's time to start selecting wheels. Every motorist knows that from the right choice wheel rims very important indicators of an SUV depend:

Safety while driving;

The ability to freely overcome rough terrain and off-road.

The optimal choice is steel off-road wheels for UAZ Loaf. They are great for driving in the most extreme conditions: when hitting various obstacles, they deform only at the point of contact. This damage is easily repaired by balancing or rolling the disc, which cannot be said, for example, with alloy wheels.

Today, Off Road Wheels steel rims for UAZ Bukhanka are produced different sizes, for any tires, with positive and negative departure... They are made from two stamped solid steel sheets that are welded together.

Before purchasing wheel disks, you can pre-compare in our calculator the compatibility of all characteristics with the parameters of rubber, technical features body, chassis. The possible behavior of your UAZ Bukhanka on off-road routes will depend on the observance of all these nuances.

We divide the choice of disks into two parts:

1. If you plan to bet disc brakes, then buy 16 "or 17" ORW discs at UAZ Loaf, suitable for bolt pattern (5x139.7).

2. If you do not plan to install disc brakes, then in addition to the discs described above, it is possible to install ODS discs of 15 diameter.

Their main advantage is that Off Road Wheels are stronger and more reliable than standard stock ones.

Today, many car owners tune the UAZ Loaf.

One of the first problems is replacing standard, narrow 215/90/15 wheels with wide off-road tires, which will significantly increase cross-country ability. To do this, you need to replace the factory stamped wheels with off-road wheels. Discs are selected depending on the rubber:

30 Inch.

Wheels 30x9.5x15 are installed on the car without modifications. Recommended drives:

16x8 ET +15, 15x7 ET0, 15x8 ET0, 16x7 ET +30, 16x8 ET 0

To install wheels 31 inches (265x70x16) you need to play with the parameters. We recommend metal discs for UAZ Loaf with negative overhang:

15x8 ET -19, 15x8 ET-25, 16x8 ET -19, 16x8 ET -25

32-33 Inches.

Next stage wheels 32-33 inches, involves the refinement of the car's suspension, body body lift, installation of arch extensions, and sprung, spring-loaded spacers, trimming of the arches. The classic size that many Bukhankovodov strive for is 33x10.5 (285x75x16).

15x8 ET-40, 15x8 ET-25, 16x8 ET-25, 16x10 ET-44

35 Inch.

35-inch wheels transfer very high loads to the drives, axles and Loaf box. To install them, portal bridges and discs with a badlock are often used, for example, 15x8 5x139,7 ET-40

Whatever ORW wheels you choose for your UAZ Loaf, they are guaranteed to ensure your safety, increase the stability of the car, and also give it a stylish appearance.

From the UAZ factory "loaf" is usually produced in standard configuration, on disks of 16 "size and with rubber" Kama-219 "- 225/75 R16.

The UAZ plant installs two types of discs on the "loaf":

the first - with front drum brakes (on Timket axles) with round holes, white 16 "ET +22;
the second - with disc front brakes (Spicer axles) with triangular holes, silver 16 "ET +40.

For normal driving, this equipment may be sufficient, but for off-road and other difficult conditions, this rubber, to put it mildly, is not suitable. Kama-219 is generally a bad option. Being all-season and versatile, it is too hard, which is why it "floats" on the asphalt. In winter, for the same reason (poor elasticity), it slides on the first ice, but it “gets washed out” through mud and skids, even on wet grass.

On standard equipment"loaves", you can install wheels up to 31x10.5 "without cutting and lifting *.

So, here's a small selection of mud tire models that you can install on your car without modifying it:

Yokohama Geolandar A / T-S G012 255/65 R16 109H

BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T / A 235/70 R16

BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T / A KM2 235/70 R16 104 / 101Q

Non-standard tire options for UAZ "Bukhanka"

With minor alterations of the UAZ "Bukhanka" car, it becomes possible to install wheels of a larger diameter and width, which is very helpful when driving through mud, stones and all kinds of off-road conditions in difficult conditions.

With a lift * or trimming arches, you can put:

COOPER STT 33 R15

BF Goodrich mud terrain 265/75 R 16

BF Goodrich 33x10.5 R15

BF Goodrich MT 255x85R16

BF Goodrich 35x12.5R15

Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ Radial 35 / 12.5 R15

A couple of specific examples:

Fitting rubber size 285/75 R16 requires a 75mm body lift and a 30mm suspension lift.
To install rubber 35x14.50 R16 (for example SUPERSWAMPER Bogger) on 16-inch discs 10 inches wide, you need to: make a suspension lift and a body lift, on the rear stretcher and front spacers. With such a combination, the rubber does not rub over the car body, even with the highest articulation and an inverted steering wheel.

When deciding whether to lift a car, remember: "Loaf" has a high center of gravity, so a suspension lift is not very desirable, a body lift can be considered a little more acceptable, but this will in any case affect the stability of the car on bends and various inclines.

About the elevator

Let's briefly note some of the features:

the smaller the lift, the better.
make a body lift better than a suspension lift.
at first it is worth cutting the arches as much as possible and after that, if necessary, lift them.
it does not matter for the frame whether the body is lifted or not.
lifting with rubber or something springy can lead to the body's control and breakage of the bolts of its fastening on the pits and bumps. Bolts of strength 8.8 are required together with rigid spacers.
you need to trim the arches as much as possible: the lower the elevator, the greater the stability of the car and the better handling.
there should be at least 14 cm of free space above the wheel. Up to the arch, otherwise it will rub during articulation.
the rear arches are very easy to cut.
by cutting the arches in front, you can win a maximum of 5 cm, if you do not be smart with the body number and leave room for the door seal. If you cut it by 7cm, you will have to remove the seal.

* Lift is the installation of discs and tires with a diameter larger than that provided by the manufacturer. To do this, small changes are made to the vehicle design, mainly designed to increase the "axle-body" distance.
