Vehicle model
LADA Vesta
The LADA Vesta is a compact sedan launched in 2015, positioned above the Granta as the most modern and best-equipped model in the lineup. It comes as a three-box sedan, a wagon (SW), a raised Cross version, and Sportline trims, targeting customers who want a more contemporary LADA without leaving the affordable segment. A long-wheelbase variant, the Aura, appeared in 2024. Designed partly under the Renault era, the Vesta offers a more accomplished cabin and design than the historic models. For tires and wheels, this compact size commonly uses diameters on the order of 15 to 16 inches; as with any vehicle, the exact sizing is confirmed on the placard, and winter driving in Quebec requires approved winter tires.

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.
