Tires on Alfa Romeo 156 (Альфа Ромео)

The Italian medium-sized city car Alfa Romeo 156 stood out not only for its design (by the standards of that time), but also for its driving characteristics. The model was distinguished by its dynamics and handling precision.

Historical background

The car, presented in 1997, had several basic engine options - 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 liters. As well as a powerful V6 at 2.5 liters, which produced 190 hp and had two camshafts. Later it was replaced by a 3.2-liter one, installed on the GTA version. The car could have several packages, including "sport", "deluxe" and others. All of them affected the external decorative elements (spoiler, body kit, etc.), as well as the interior design (use of natural wood elements, sports seats, leather interior, heated seats, etc.). As for the powertrain lineup, it remained unchanged. Nevertheless, such packages significantly changed the interior and exterior, increasing the aesthetic component of the model.

The basis of the car is the old platform from the previous model number 155, which was borrowed from Fiat at one time. This factor did not prevent the manufacturer from creating a completely new car. Special attention was paid to the suspension, the basis of which was the MacPherson construction, but with certain changes. In addition, some of its parts were made of aluminum, which positively affected the weight reduction. As a result, a high handling precision was achieved, which pleased many car enthusiasts.

As for the transmission, in addition to the "mechanics", from 1999, a robotic transmission with the possibility of manual gear shifting using steering wheel paddles began to be used. A classic "automatic" was also installed, having several basic settings - city, sport, ice. All this expanded the capabilities of the car, making it universal for various conditions.

Restyling 2002

The car has changed not so much externally as internally. It became available with such options as cruise control, climate control, steering wheel paddles were replaced with buttons (by analogy with previous models), a more modern audio system appeared, an on-board computer that reported errors and maintenance intervals, as well as many other systems.

Restyling 2003

It brought a large color design of the interior, changes in the external design, as well as adjustments to the suspension settings. The range of diesel engines has also been updated. All this made the model even more attractive. But, despite the success within the country and beyond, this variation ceased to exist in 2007.

As for the Russian sector, the car did not become so popular here. This was largely due to the need for regular maintenance, which required significant costs. Moreover, there are no Chinese analogs of spare parts for it, and it was necessary to order original parts, which were quite expensive. Nevertheless, there are still fans of this brand who cherish the traditions of the Italian automotive industry. For them, the online store "Mosavtoshina" offers a wide range of wheel disks and tires.
