Tires on ВАЗ 1111 Oka (ВАЗ)

Serial production of the "Oka" began in 1988. The car was the manufacturer's debut in the subcompact segment. It was positioned as the most affordable transport for personal use. Its development was handled not only by VAZ, but also by the Kama Automobile Plant, which specialized in the production of trucks and special equipment. The goal of the project was to create an ultra-compact car with minimal operating costs and a simple design. In the late 1980s, such a car was supposed to become an alternative to motorcycles and used cars. As a result, a model appeared that significantly differed from most Soviet cars in terms of its dimensions and economy.

Layout and body features

One of the key features of the car was its small size. The body length is approximately 3.2 meters, making the car one of the smallest serial passenger cars produced in the USSR. The 3-door hatchback with a high roof line and a nearly vertical rear door offered a relatively spacious cabin despite its modest external dimensions. The body structure includes reinforced deformation zones and a fairly rigid power frame. This was an important step for a budget car of that period.

Another important distinction was the power unit. A 2-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine with a volume of around 0.65 liters was installed under the hood. In essence, it was half of the 4-cylinder engine from the "Samara" line of cars. Its power was 29 horsepower, which was quite sufficient for such a light car.
The engine was paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The front-wheel drive allowed for improved handling and increased interior space. Fuel consumption was around 4.5-5 liters per 100 km, making the car extremely economical even by modern standards.

The suspension layout was also "borrowed" from the "Samara" family. MacPherson struts were used in the front, and a semi-dependent beam with longitudinal levers in the rear. This solution provides sufficient reliability and stability on uneven roads. The car's low weight - around 650 kilograms - has a positive effect on dynamics and economy. The short wheelbase provides high maneuverability, which is especially important when driving in dense city traffic.

Differences in equipment

The cabin stood out for its combination of simplicity and functionality. The instrument panel has a simple shape and includes only the basic elements: a speedometer, charging system indicators, and a fuel level indicator. The simple-looking seats provide an acceptable level of comfort for short trips. Thanks to the high roof, there is a solid reserve of space above the passengers' heads. The trunk is small, but the rear seat can be folded, increasing the useful volume. This solution allows for the transportation of large items, despite the car's compactness.

Differences from main competitors

At the time of the car's debut, the closest in concept and size were the Daewoo Tico and Suzuki Alto. Compared to them, it stood out for its simplicity of design and low cost, both in production and operation. The combination of a 2-cylinder engine, low weight, and good aerodynamics provided high fuel efficiency, good dynamics, and the ability to use on highways. Additionally, the simplicity of repair and maintenance should be noted - most technical operations were performed without the use of complex equipment.

The factory equipment for this car included 12-inch wheels with a mounting diameter, along with tires in the 135/80 size. You can find suitable tires and wheels in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, which offers a wide range of models that match the technical parameters of this car.
