Vehicle model
Aixam Gamme Aixam - utilitaires ou VUS
Under the Aixam-Mega banner, the maker offers a utility-oriented range with a more rugged style than its pure city cars. The van or flatbed versions (heirs of the Mega line) target tradespeople, local authorities and neighborhood services needing a small, maneuverable vehicle accessible without a category B license in several European countries. The taller or more rugged-looking models, such as the Crossline variants, play the card of a quadricycle styled like a mini-SUV, while remaining within the regulatory framework of microcars. Their use is strictly urban and suburban, at low speed. On the tire and wheel side, these utility variants often receive 13-inch fitments, sometimes on a reinforced steel wheel to support the load; in Quebec, a certified winter tire remains essential on snow and ice. Check the original bolt pattern before any wheel replacement.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Aixam, comme la plupart des voitures sans permis, roulent sur de petites jantes de 13 pouces, parfois 14 pouces selon les modèles et finitions. On retrouve fréquemment des pneumatiques étroits à profil haut, typiquement en 135/80 R13, 145/70 R13 ou 145/60 R13, avec des indices de charge modestes adaptés au faible poids du véhicule. L'entraxe de fixation est spécifique à ces châssis légers : vérifiez toujours le bolt pattern d'origine avant de changer de roues. Au Québec, le pneu d'hiver reste essentiel pour l'adhérence sur neige et glace ; privilégier des dimensions homologuées correspondant exactement au montage d'origine et respecter pressions et indices de charge.
