Loaded 1113 rears often need the sticker’s second column, not a copy of the front 32-35 psi figure. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a 1113; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.

VAZ 1113 placard versus sidewall

If the VAZ sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/45R17 and others)

If your VAZ 1113 no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 225/45R17 or 205/60R16 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Pressure against load

Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.

ConditionFront (est.)Rear (est.)
Driver only34 psi / 2.34 bar34 psi / 2.34 bar
Full occupancy35 psi / 2.41 bar36 psi / 2.48 bar
Motorway + luggage36 psi / 2.48 bar38 psi / 2.62 bar

A family passenger car with a boot full of luggage should use the laden rear figure if Ford, VW or Mercedes printed one. Otherwise the modest steps in the load table are only a sketch for this 1113.

How to set the 1113

  1. Park the VAZ 1113 for at least three hours (cold tyres).
  2. Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
  3. Set the placard for that axle — about 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
  4. Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive 1113 is enough to feel a pull.
  5. Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

VAZ notes

No special VAZ exception: the 1113 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the VAZ 1113 usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.

Keep the VAZ 1113 on the printed band; use 225/45R17 and 215/55R16 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Other VAZ models

Questions about this 1113

What PSI if I plus-size toward 215/55R16?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/45R17, 205/60R16 and 215/55R16 as a planning band.

Is the sidewall number correct on a VAZ 1113?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The 1113 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

What is that in bar and kPa for the 1113?

Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.

How often should I check a 1113?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.

Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?

No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.
