The pressure in the tires of the car should be the same as recommended by the car manufacturer. The data with the required tire pressure figures are written in the car's manual, and on the car itself they are usually located on the B-pillar on the driver's side or on the fuel filler flap on the inside.

The pressure should be measured only on cold tires that are located in the shade and on which the car has been motionless for at least 5 hours. Since car manufacturers allow the use of tires of different standard sizes on cars, the normal pressure in them can be different. In addition, the pressure in the front and rear can be different or the same.

Danger of low, high or unequal tire pressure.

Reduced tire pressure leads to increased deformation of the tire, more heat during wheel rolling, accelerated wear of the outer tread tracks. Even a violation of the integrity of the tire carcass is possible. This increases the consumption. If you hit a hole on the road, the likelihood of damage to both the disc and the tire is higher.

Increased tire pressure provokes overstraining of the cords, increased wear of the middle part of the tread. In addition, when driving on a bad road, the shock that is transmitted to the suspension and body will become more noticeable for the driver and passengers in the cabin. If hit in a pit, the probability of tire rupture will be higher. Not the same pressure in all four tires will lead during movement to the car drifting off a straight trajectory towards wheels with lower pressure.

Check tire pressure, seasonal fluctuations in tire pressure.

Check the tire pressure at least once a month, and always before long trips. Particularly careful monitoring of tire pressure is necessary during the off-season. In a confined space, the air pressure changes by approximately 0.1 bar for every 10 degrees of temperature change. This should be taken into account in spring and autumn, until a relatively stable temperature is established.

Especially seasonal fluctuations in tire pressure are noticeable on wheels of large dimensions with an air volume of 60 liters or more. For example, the air volume in a 225/75 R16 tire is approximately 65 liters. Therefore, having installed tires in October, with the first frost, you need to check the tire pressure again. Then check the pressure when the air temperature drops to minus ten, fifteen and minus twenty.

Tire pressure based on road conditions.

Some tire manufacturers recommend increasing the tire pressure by 0.2–0.3 bar before driving for long periods on highways. If the vehicle is overloaded, it is necessary to raise the pressure in the rear tires by 0.2–0.3 bar. If you find yourself on summer tires, and you need to drive a short distance on an icy road, then you need to reduce the tire pressure to approximately 1.6 bar.

Tire pressure when driving off-road.

If off-road the wheels of the car begin to fall into, snow or mud, then it makes sense to reduce the pressure in all tires to at least 1.2 bar. In a very critical situation, you can take a risk and reduce the pressure to 1.0 bar. On such tires, you should drive with caution, because there is a high probability of self-disassembly. Off-road, lowering tire pressure can also be useful for overcoming bias.

If, in this case, the pressure in the tires is reduced, then their height will decrease, there will be a chance for the suspended wheels to catch on the ground and overcome the diagonal suspension on their own. If the car has already laid down on the bottom, then it is useless to reduce the tire pressure, it will only interfere with pulling the car out.

UAZ vehicles produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant are well known in the post-Soviet space. Back in the late 40s and early 50s of the last century, the concern chose the production of off-road vehicles or, in modern terms, off-road vehicles as its main direction of activity.

In 1955, a model of the UAZ-452 minibus was proposed, which was popularly called "loaf" because of its similarity to a loaf of bread. More than half a century has passed, but the "loaf" is still used in rural areas as an emergency gang and ambulance.

In 1972, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant put the 469 into production. Development of the 469 model began back in 1962 - in appearance it resembled the famous American jeep. UAZ-469 was widely used in the army for a long time. The 469 had a removable soft top and 4 drive wheels. In 1981 the 469 "UAZ" was modernized. It is often found these days - it is widely used by off-road enthusiasts.

A newer version came in the 90s - UAZ-31514. It is already a full-fledged modern SUV, comfortable and reliable. 31514 "UAZ" had protective arches, kengurin, removable metal top - this version absolutely confidently meets all international standards.

The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant continues to develop a line for the production of off-road vehicles, offering new, more improved options. In 2003, a light SUV "Hunter" appeared... Car enthusiasts greeted the Hunter with enthusiasm, as did the Patriot SUV, which appeared in 2005.

UAZ Patriot: a little about tires and their parameters

It is quite obvious that the rubber of a car, like the parameters of tires, affects its cross-country ability, stability, as well as the durability of the chassis. Therefore, so much attention is paid to the competent selection of rubber, its correct installation and other factors, among which the pressure in the tires of the car is of no small importance.

By appointment, the following types of rubber are distinguished, which is installed on the Patriot:

• all-season;
• for dirt;
• for winter conditions;
• extreme option;
• oversized for low pressure.

Pressure table for standard UAZ "Patriot" tires

Remember the importance of proper balancing when installing tires. This is an important condition for the correct operation of the vehicle. It is also recommended to use special devices to improve performance.

Tyrlock is used to secure the tire at the edges of the disc. It prevents the tire from sliding off the disc, fixing it securely. Tyrlock is recommended for use on highways and public roads.

Bedlocks are also installed - mechanical rings, which are installed on the disc and do not allow the wheel to be disassembled in the event of side loads. A beadlock is a means of rigidly attaching tires to the rim board. Competitors use them to increase cross-country ability in extreme conditions.

Badlocks have the following benefits:

• help to avoid parsing;
• enable the use of low pressure tires;
• easy to install and maintain.

Patriot tire pressure must be monitored at all times

Among the disadvantages of bedlocks are the following:

• an increase in the mass of a car wheel;
• lack of the ability to accurately balance;
• the need for frequent pulling of bolts;
• they are not used on normal highways.

Optimal tire pressure of UAZ "Patriot"

Any motorist knows that the amount of air that is pumped into the wheels of a car is not taken from the ceiling. What pressure should be is determined by a special one, where all parameters for inflating tires are indicated.

Here is what the table says about the pressure in the tires of UAZ Patriot cars:

Tire pressure table for non-standard size UAZ Patriot

At the same time, there should be an optimal distribution of weight for Patriot machines:

• curb weight - 2125 kg / front axle - 1150 kg / rear axle - 975 kg;
• gross weight - 2650 kg / front axle - 1217 kg / rear axle - 1433 kg.

In this case, the imbalance of the assembled wheel should not exceed 1000 g / cm.

Experts advise to adhere to the following recommendations when inflating tires on UAZ Patriot cars:

Conclusion

UAZ "Patriot" is a very popular model of the domestic SUV. However, in order to ensure high cross-country ability, avoid premature wear of various components and safety on the road, it is necessary to adhere to the recommendations for the correct inflation of the wheels and the correct operation of the protectors. This is a very important and necessary condition for the correct operation of your machine.

The Ulyanovsk-made SUV UAZ Patriot left the assembly line for the first time in 2005, and since that time it has gained wide popularity among UAZ producers. Today, the UAZ Patriot SUV continues to be produced and every year it is supplemented with more modern and improved parts. In this article, we will consider such a detail as a tire, or rather, what should be the pressure in the tires of a popular SUV. Indeed, not only the correct operation of the car depends on the tire pressure, but also the safety of the driver and passengers.

Wheels of the UAZ Patriot car are those parts that are directly involved in its off-road capability. In addition, the tires make the vehicle more stable both on the road and on uneven terrain. Often, most owners of a popular SUV, after purchasing it, tend to replace the standard rubber with a more suitable one for their specific purposes. Among these actions, it is important to pay attention to the tire pressure of the SUV. After all, some are used to pumping the wheels up to 2 atmospheres or more, others, on the contrary, believe that a volume of 1.8 atmospheres is enough. But today we will not guess what the pressure in the wheels of the Patriot should be, but we will find out the real data.

Rubber for the UAZ Patriot SUV can be of the following modifications and purposes:

1. All-season, which can be used both in summer and winter.
2. Mud, intended for vehicle operation in off-road conditions.
3. Winter, which is intended for use only in winter to be able to overcome various snow-covered areas.
4. Road, used in summer, for driving on asphalt roads and in the city. Useless in winter and off-road conditions.

There are also such types of rubber as extreme - rubber of an increased size and low pressure. In addition, rubber differs from each other in parameters, the most common of which are:

• rubber width;
• profile;
• tire diameter.

Depending on these parameters, you should carry out the appropriate inflation of the wheels. So, the tire pressure on the UAZ Patriot must correspond to the following parameters given in the table below.

Tire pressure, atm	Engine capacity 2.7	Engine capacity 2,2d
for front wheels:
225/75 R16	2	2,2
235/70 R16	1,9	2,2
245/70 R16	1,8	1,9
245/60 R18	1,8	1,8
for rear wheels:
225/75 R16	2,4	2,4
235/70 R16	2,2	2,2
245/70 R16	2,1	2,1
245/60 R18	2	2

You need to take care of the wheels of your car first of all, since they are the elements and parts on which the safety of the car's movement depends. There are some guidelines to follow. These guidelines have the following characteristics:

1. It is recommended to use all four wheels of the same width, diameter and model on the car, or install them in pairs, that is, the same at the front and the same at the rear.
2. When checking tire pressure, measure it on all four wheels, not just one.
3. To find out if the nipple is leaking, you need to test it with soapy water. If air is bled, then a special cap should be installed or the nipple should be replaced.
4. Front wheels tend to wear out faster, even on 4WD SUVs. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically (every 10,000 km) install them on the rear axle.
5. After running-in on new tires, it is imperative to balance it. The approximate run-in run for balancing is about 500 km.
6. The tire pressure of the UAZ Patriot SUV directly affects the service life of parts such as the engine, transmission, differential and axle. In addition, it also affects fuel consumption, which is a significant parameter.

Optimal pressure parameters

The optimal amount of air that should be in the tires of an SUV is calculated at the factory, and therefore if you decide to pump a wheel, then it can threaten it to burst. Otherwise, when moving on over-pumped wheels, there will be a noticeable deterioration in comfort. Why? Because the tire will lose its shock-absorbing properties and even the slightest pits, stones and bumps will be transmitted by impacts on the body.

A more detailed table showing the optimal tire pressures for the UAZ Patriot is given below.



The curb weight of an SUV plays a significant role, which must meet the following parameters:

• gross vehicle weight is 2600 kg;
• the front axle has a load of 1217 kg;
• the rear axle has a load of 1430 kg.

When inflating or inflating tires, it is important to observe the following list of important recommendations:

1. During pumping, it is necessary to take into account the type of rubber; often the manufacturer himself recommends the optimal pressure value.
2. With a decrease in tire pressure, the effect of increasing the cross-country ability of an SUV is observed.
3. If the pressure in the wheels decreases, then this negatively affects the transmission, and also an increase in fuel consumption occurs. Many people notice that with slightly flat wheels, the car becomes more comfortable when moving over bumps, but in fact, in such a situation, all negative factors on the disc and rubber of the car are multiplied.
4. On an SUV, it is important to turn on the front axle only when there is a need for it, otherwise operation in all-wheel drive mode for a long time entails failure of the transfer case and increased wear on the front tires.
5. Inflate and check the pressure in the tires of an SUV should be at a temperature not higher than 20 degrees and not lower than 0, otherwise the reading error will exceed 10% and higher. Why? Because under the influence of sunlight, the rubber heats up and the air in it expands, so there is a risk of pumping it over. In winter, on the contrary, the rubber narrows and the pressure drops.

UAZ Patriot tires quite an interesting topic, since the pressure, size and type of rubber seriously affect the behavior of the car. It should be borne in mind that winter tires or UAZ Patriot mud tires should be installed taking into account the operating conditions and the tire manufacturer's recommendations.

Tire pressure for UAZ Patriot affects handling, fuel consumption and even transmission performance. Often, an increased hum from a Patriot transfer case may indicate abnormal pressure in the front and rear wheels. Over-inflated tires save on fuel, but negatively impact comfort and kill the suspension. Under-inflated tires lead to increased tire wear, poor handling and increased fuel consumption. It should be borne in mind that in winter the tire pressure is always lower due to low temperatures, and on a loose surface it is better to ride on flat tires.

Initially, we will tell you about the native, factory tires of the UAZ Patriot and about the pressure that the manufacturer himself recommends for different types of tires. Today, the new Patriot is equipped with 16 and 18-inch wheels. At the same time, 16-inch wheels have steel wheels and light-alloy wheels of different sizes.

Let's start with the base steel rims, which are 6.5J x 16H2 for the Patriot and come with 225/75 R16 tubeless radials. The pressure on the front wheels should correspond to 2.0 kgf / cm2, on the rear tires the pressure is 2.4 kgf / cm2. Since the diesel version of the Patriot is heavier in the front due to the weighty engine, then for this version the pressure should be slightly higher in the front - 2.2, at the back the same indicator is 2.4 kgf / cm2. If you are going on a serious off-road raid, then this type of tubeless rubber can seriously fail, so look for a more advanced version of mud tires.

The 16-inch light-alloy wheels on the Patriot are 7J x 16H2 and the tire size is different - 235/70 R16. The front and rear pressures also differ by 1.9 and 2.2, respectively. The diesel Patriot has 2.2 and 2.2 kgf / cm2 front / rear.

The most expensive configuration of the UAZ Patriot today is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels. The size of the disc itself and the tires are as follows - 7J x 18H2 and 245/60 R18. The tire pressures of the Patriot with such wheels must correspond to 1.8 at the front and 2.0 for the rear wheels. The diesel version with such wheels has the same parameters at the front and rear.

On the appeared special versions of the UAZ Patriot, new tires 245/70 R16 also appeared, for the gasoline Patriot the tire pressure in the front must correspond to 1.8 kgf / cm2 (for the diesel engine 1.9), on the rear wheels 2.1, that of the gasoline modification, that of the diesel. Below is a table of dimensions and tire pressure parameters for the new UAZ Patriot from the manufacturer for clarity.

It is worth noting that the different pressure in the front and rear wheels of the Patriot must be maintained, due to the different load on the front and rear axles, which affects the transfer case. After all, different speeds of rotation of the wheels in front and behind, with 4x4 all-wheel drive, can lead to an imbalance of the entire transmission. There are frequent cases of transmission breakdown precisely because of the difference in tire pressure. Therefore, before buying "non-native" tires for the Patriot, winter and mud, very carefully read the instructions on the permissible values \u200b\u200bof tire pressure, taking into account the axle load.

Dear patriot leaders, today we are again raising the topic of security. This time we will consider how the tire pressure of the UAZ Patriot affects the safety aspect. It is also clear that the inflation rate of a tire is inextricably linked to performance. Tubeless tires, which are now so popular, are especially sensitive to pressure levels. 30% tire wear means that there is no longer any question of safety and the car starts to behave unpredictably on the road.

How to determine what is the optimal tire pressure for UAZ Patriot? For this, there are special tables with recommended pressure for the front and rear wheels. Tire manufacturers indicate recommended pressures, and there are logical reasons why you shouldn't deviate too much from these numbers.

Every motorist knows that an over-pumped wheel can simply burst on the way, which will clearly create an emergency. But too low tire pressure will provoke increased fuel consumption and wear of the same rubber. The only exceptions are special low-pressure tires with increased width, which are designed for driving on snow. It is especially important to take into account changes when replacing standard tires with other types of tires.

It should be borne in mind that alloy wheels are very sensitive to impacts, therefore, tire pressure should not be reduced to an extremely low level.

Modifications of tires suitable for UAZ Patriot

Depending on what kind of coating the rubber is intended for, the pressure indicators will be different.

• Road - for good roads and highways where there are no off-road sections. Ideally suited for dry dirt roads. For such rubber, the pressure can be slightly increased relative to the standard one - literally by 10%. As a result, the speed potential will be extinguished significantly less.

• In summer tires, the pressure can also be slightly increased, but due to operation at high temperatures, it is better not to increase it by more than 5-7%.

• Winter tires are designed to handle difficult road sections with uneven coverage and a high risk of slipping in snowdrifts, so the pressure in winter tires should be low. The gap between the standard pressure and for winter tires can be up to 12%.

• In principle, for the so-called mud tires, on which it is easy to go off-road, the tire pressure indicator should also be the same as in winter. The record low pressure level in such tires can reach 15% of standard values.

Inflating tires with a compressor or lowering the pressure in them, it is impossible to achieve ideal driving performance. What's the secret? In the end - no, because there are still factors related to tires that affect the behavior of the Patriot on the road. Before experimenting further, we suggest answering the following questions:

• Do you measure the pressure in one, the so-called control tire, or in all? If the car “goats” and loses control, or vice versa, slows down during acceleration, then it is likely that in one, or even in all tires, the pressure is very different. This means we measure and pump up one level in the front and rear tires.

• Have you already covered 10,000 km in your Patrick? It is time to re-mark the front and rear wheels to balance the wear. Traction 4WD cars love to eat up the front tires.

• Is all rubber the same size? Only a small run-up is allowed for a pair of front wheels relative to a pair of rear wheels. And that's all, i.e. different wheels should not be in front or behind.

• Have you done balancing for a long time? If you can boast of a brand new rubber, then after 500 km of running-in you will go to the service station, if you are not going to install a new one yet, then look at balancing at least once a quarter.

If you follow these simple rules and guide the UAZ Patriot recommended tire pressure table below, you will be able to insure the transmission, axle and engine against premature wear, as well as adequately save fuel.
