10 best tires for UAZ Patriot

Many UAZ Patriot owners consider these tires to be the most versatile. And they have every reason for this, because this summer tire is optimal when driving on light off-road. There is good control and excellent interaction with any surface, as well as wear resistance and good load capacity. The applied technical solutions allow the tread grooves to self-clean quickly, which ensures a high level of safety and grip when driving on gravel or wet roads. There is also a low noise level during road trips. True, there are often reviews that sometimes weights of at least 80 grams are required to balance tires.

Despite the relatively high price, this summer tire is popular with drivers of all-wheel drive SUVs, including owners of the UAZ Patriot. In this tire model, the best technical solutions from the company's prototypes are collected and the most advanced technologies are applied. As a result, the strength of the sidewalls has increased markedly, which allows you to confidently drive on heavy off-road and rocky soils. In terms of ride quality in deep sand, the Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 has proven to be one of the best. But on wet soil and in mud, the tread of summer tires quickly becomes clogged with viscous soil, which seriously reduces the car's patency.

Owners of the UAZ Patriot, who put these summer tires on their car, note that the rubber works equally well both off-road and on asphalt. This functionality was achieved by the developers through the design of the tread with hook-shaped blocks. The result was the best grip on any surface. Due to the special shape of the shoulder blocks, the tread is effectively cleaned of adhering clay and dirt - the car easily breaks out of the swampy track. The sidewall of the tire is quite thick, which gives the rubber additional strength. But there is a downside - you have to pay for this with an increased weight of the cylinder and a load on the suspension units.

These winter studded tires belong to the budget class only because of the low price. According to the reviews of UAZ Patriot drivers, rubber has characteristics that are not much inferior to more expensive counterparts. The developers have created a universal tread pattern that works equally well on different surfaces.The best compromise has been found for good performance in both mud and deep snow. Low rolling resistance leads to lower fuel consumption, and the silica-based rubber compound maintains excellent flexibility in cold weather. But many drivers note an increased noise level during high-speed driving.

These studded winter tires were originally designed for confident driving on loose snow and ice. In Russia, they were appreciated by the owners of UAZ Patriot cars - the combination of a wear-resistant rubber compound and four-sided studs allows you to be confident on any road. In addition, this design of the rod gives effective grip in turns in icy areas. The carefully calculated tread pattern allows you to go through deep snow and slush, quickly self-cleaning in the process due to polished grooves. Efficient operation on bare pavement was achieved by twin blocks in the central part. At the same time, some drivers express dissatisfaction with the increased noise during movement, which is typical for studded tires.

UAZ Patriot drivers recommend that owners of similar cars pay attention to these non-studded winter tires. Those who have already managed to test the rubber were convinced of the high-quality grip and effective braking. This was achieved due to the abundance of multi-directional 3D lamellas and the best stud pattern (installed at the request of the customer), created using computer modeling. The special tread geometry with a broken central block was also pre-calculated. The seat of each metal rod is multi-layered and leads to increased grinding of the spikes when driving on asphalt. For the same reason, many i*pike RW11 owners are in no hurry to change their shoes at near-zero temperatures.

The installation of these non-studded winter tires on the UAZ Patriot, many owners find it difficult to call it anything other than a pleasure. The developers have done a great job of optimizing the tread pattern and, as a result, applied spectacular technical solutions, ensuring an even distribution of the load over the rim area. As a result, it was possible to reduce the propensity of rubber to slip on a winter road and improve the dynamics of acceleration. Also, the efficiency of water removal to the tread periphery from the contact patch has been increased - resistance to hydroplaning is observed for almost the entire life of the tire. At the same time, drivers note a certain tendency of Velcro to go off course and side skid on ice at the wrong speed.

The designation of these non-studded tires includes the symbols MT (mud terrain), which refers them to tires for summer off-road. However, the manufacturer positions the product as an all-season. The owners of the UAZ Patriot, who successfully operate tires all year round, fully agree with this. The versatility of rubber has been achieved by combining the most advanced technologies. The sidewall is securely reinforced with Kevlar, which is well able to withstand impacts on the curb or rocky ground. The design of the outer tread blocks is optimized for off-road driving. At the same time, many drivers are unhappy with the high price of tires, but, according to other users, it more than pays off with a long service life, which in some cases exceeds 6 years.

These non-studded tires are designed for use on SUVs as both summer and winter tires. Only one size is available - 225/75 R 16, but it is the best fit for the UAZ Patriot car.The choice is largely facilitated by the interesting cost of the tire. The tire has a combined carcass and breaker, but is not designed for use in winter on light trucks. Otherwise, it behaves quite confidently in the off-season, copes with light off-road and icy porridge. Some users note that when driving on half-flat tires, cylinder damage is possible, and the quality of grip only worsens.

Studless all-season tires from the North American manufacturer have proven themselves well in any weather. UAZ Patriot owners equally successfully operate them in the city and off-road and speak of them in the best way. The frame is reinforced, made on the basis of three steel cords. At the same time, excess weight is a small price to pay for reliability and resistance to shock loads. The tread pattern provides stability on the highway and excellent handling in all conditions. Numerous lamellas in the form of broken lines contribute to the softness of the course on any surface.Despite all the advantages, drivers note the excessive rigidity of the sidewall of the tires, which is why high-speed control requires concentration and attention from the driver.
