The maximum speed to which this car can accelerate is no more than 181 km per hour. It accelerates to 100 km per hour in about 14.2 seconds.

Such a car needs tires that will not worsen these indicators, will provide the proper level of handling and reliability.

What standard sizes of tires and wheels for the Datsun Mi-Do car does KOLOBOX recommend?

Before selecting the required sizes of tires and wheels for this car brand, you need to understand the year of manufacture and modification of the car. Produced since 2014, Datsun mi-DO has one modification.

The table below shows the characteristics of its wheels (the left part is responsible for the tires, and the right part is for the disks).

KOLOBOX has a wide range of summer and winter tires for this vehicle, cast and stamped wheels.

Datsun is equipped with tires with diameters of 14 and 15 inches. Moreover, their width is 185 mm, and the profile is 60 and 55%. The manufacturing plant selects these dimensions depending on the needs of the car, which means that it is with these parameters that the proper level of reliability, safety and comfort while driving is guaranteed.

We select winter tires for the Datsun mi-DO car

For the cold season, the following tire options are possible for this car:

• NShZ KAMA-505 with a diameter of 14 inches, a width of 185 mm and a profile of 60%. The manufacturer claims that this rubber exhibits high performance on ice-covered roadways. Studding in twelve rows provides high-quality vehicle handling, and the noise level while driving is reduced. Owners of these tires note that this is the most budget-friendly option from which you shouldn't expect much. Metal spikes quickly leave the rubber during operation, and trips on ice are by no means reliable.
• YOKOHAMA IG35 with the same dimension as the previous version can boast of positive reviews. Due to the sipes, these tires provide a high degree of controllability both on ice and on snow.

Other rubber options for the cold season are presented below.

We select summer tires for the car Datsun Mido

For summer use, the following tires can be installed on Datsun mi-DO:

• NSHZ KAMA-BREEZE 132 with a diameter of 14 inches, a profile of 60% and a width of 185 mm. These tires allow water to drain quickly, which is beneficial for the safety and confidence of the driver and passengers. Reviews are fairly neutral. Many owners of these tires say that this is a decent option at this budget cost.
• With the same parameters in the middle price category, NOKIAN NORDMAN SX are presented, which also differ in their timely fight against aquaplaning due to the tread pattern. Consumers emphasize the rapid wear of this rubber and the low level of sidewall protection.

Choosing wheels for Datsun mi-DO cars

Standard versions of Datsun mi-DO are equipped with 14-inch tires, in contrast to the maximum configuration, which assumes 15-inch wheels.

The bolt pattern of the discs corresponds to the characteristics of the Lada Grants: four mounting holes on a circle with a diameter of 98 mm.

The rim widths range from 5.5 to 6 inches and the offset (ET) is 37 mm. The diameter of the central hole of the disc is 58.5 mm.

What pressure must be maintained in the tires of a Datsun Mi-Do car?

Normal load obliges the front and rear tires to maintain pressure at 2.0 atmospheres.

With an increase in the load in the front tires, the pressure remains at the same level, and the rear rises to 2.2 atmospheres.

How does the size of tires and wheels affect the performance of a car?

Japanese models Datsun on-DO and Datsun mi-DO are equipped with different rims and tires, depending on the specific modification. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully inspect the condition of tires and wheels, as they directly affect handling.

Size of wheels and tires Datsun on-Do and mi-Do

For Datsuns, various options for tires and wheels are used:

1. 185 / 60R14 82H;
2. 185 / 60R15 82V;
3. 175 / 65R14 82T, H;
4. 185 / 60R14 82T, H.

The original wheels for Datsun are 14 and 15 inches.

At the same time, the landing diameter, measured in inches, differs for them:

- 5J - for 185 / 60R14 82H, 175 / 65R14 82T, H and 185 / 60R14 82T, H;

- 6J - for 185 / 60R15 82V.

Outreach (ET) * 2, (mm) for all wheels is 35 units.

Types of tires

1. Summer;
2. All-season;
3. Winter.

Winter studded tires for Datsun.

When installing a new kit, you need to make sure that they all belong to the same category. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the purchased tires may have lower performance characteristics, in comparison with those that Datsun on-Do was equipped with from the factory. In this case, the maximum speed of the car should be calculated based on the "rubber" indicators.

Pressure

This aspect must be strictly observed. The operating manual contains data on tire pressure in different conditions - both at partial and full load:

1. Partial load (mPa (kgf / cm2) - 0.2 / 0.2 (2.0 / 2.0) for sizes 185 / 60R14 82H and 185 / 60R15 82V. 0.2 / 0.2 (2.0 / 2,0) for sizes 175 / 65R14 82T, H and 185 / 60R14 82T, H.
2. Full load (mPa (kgf / cm2) - 0.2 / 0.22 (2.0 / 2.2) for sizes 185 / 60R14 82N and 185 / 60R15 82V. 0.2 / 0.22 (2.0 / 2.2) for sizes 175 / 65R14 82T, H and 185 / 60R14 82T, H.

Pressure is one of the most important indicators.

Partial load for a Datsun on-DO is defined as having 3 adult passengers with no cargo in the hold. Full load - there are more than 3 adult passengers in the cabin, or three adults with 50 kg of cargo in the luggage compartment.

Max permissible speed when driving with a spare wheel - 120 km / h.

Pressure level

Incorrect pressure readings negatively affect the handling of the Datsun. The pressure measurement should only be carried out when the tires are cold. They are considered as such if the car has traveled no more than 1600 meters or stood motionless for 3 hours or more.

The pressure level must be constantly monitored.

If the pressure is insufficient, the tire may overheat and damage its carcass. In addition, driving at high speed with under-inflated tires leads to tread peeling. Destruction of the tire is not excluded.

Anti-skid chains

Snow chains are only allowed on the front wheels of Datsun models. With them, the speed of movement should be reduced in order to avoid deformation of the tires, as well as damage to other components of the car. Installation must be carried out taking into account the manufacturer's recommendations, and the free ends must either be fixed or left removed in order to protect the wings from damage.

Snow chains must be correctly secured!

Do not ride with snow chains on a clean, hard surface.

Nuances

After the first 1,000 km, the wheel nuts must be tightened. It is also recommended that every 10,000 km be sure to rearrange the wheels, while checking the tire pressure. It is also worth considering that tires age over time, and this worsens their performance. Therefore, it is not recommended to install tires more than 6 years old on cars, even if they have not been used all this time. And according to the wear indicators, it is worth periodically inspecting the condition of the tread.

Tire wear must be closely monitored.
