Vehicle model
LADA Granta
The LADA Granta is an entry-level economy compact launched in the early 2010s, available as a three-box sedan, a hatchback (liftback and hatchback), and a taller Cross version. It is aimed at customers looking for a new car at the lowest possible cost, on a mostly Russian market. After 2022, the Granta was one of the first models whose production resumed, sometimes in a simplified form to cope with the shortage of electronic components. Rugged and easy to maintain, it favors function over refinement. When it comes to tires and wheels, the Granta, like most compacts of this size, uses small diameters (on the order of 14 to 15 inches) with narrow fitments; any example driven in Quebec should be fitted with approved winter tires, with the exact sizing to be verified on the vehicle's placard.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
The Granta is based on a platform inherited from the AvtoVAZ legacy and is fitted with a 1.6-liter gas engine of about 89 to 90 horsepower, most often paired with a five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, in a logic of cost and simplicity.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme LADA n'est plus distribuée au Québec, son intérêt concerne surtout les rares Niva, Granta ou Vesta importées. Ces véhicules compacts utilisent généralement de petits diamètres de jantes, souvent de l'ordre de 14 à 16 pouces, avec des montes étroites adaptées à des autos légères. La Niva, plus orientée tout-terrain, peut recevoir des pneus plus hauts et des jantes typiquement de 16 pouces. Le bon dimensionnement doit toujours être confirmé d'après la plaque du véhicule, car l'entraxe (bolt pattern) et l'alésage varient. Comme pour tout véhicule roulant au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires durant la saison froide.
