Vehicle model
ARO Gamme ARO - électrique/hybride
ARO never developed or marketed an electric or hybrid vehicle. The brand's production, halted in 2003 and followed by bankruptcy in 2006, took place entirely in the era of gasoline and diesel combustion powertrains, well before electrification became widespread. This category therefore does not exist in the Romanian manufacturer's historic range. This entry should be regarded as having no actual model: no production ARO was ever offered as a plug-in hybrid, hybrid or 100% electric version. For a tire and wheel buyer, there is consequently no fitment particularity specific to an electrified ARO variant; the only useful references remain those of the brand's combustion-engine 4x4s, namely off-road or mixed tires with tall sidewalls on small-diameter steel wheels, with winter tires mandatory in Quebec.

Les ARO sont des 4x4 utilitaires à ponts rigides : ils chaussent typiquement des pneus tout-terrain ou mixtes à flancs hauts, montés sur des jantes en acier de petit diamètre, comme il est d'usage sur les 4x4 robustes de cette époque. Privilégiez des pneus toutes-saisons ou hiver à carcasse résistante adaptés à un véhicule lourd et hors route. Au Québec, le pneu d'hiver est obligatoire du 1er décembre au 15 mars; pour un 4x4 ancien sans aides électroniques, des pneus d'hiver de qualité sont essentiels à la traction et au freinage. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse, entraxe (bolt pattern) et déport propres au modèle avant tout achat, car ces données varient selon la version.
