Vehicle model
Bentley Bentayga
The Bentayga is Bentley's first luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV), launched in the mid-2010s. It targets an affluent clientele seeking ride height, versatility, grand-luxury comfort and performance all at once. Available in several variants (V8, plug-in hybrid, Speed, Azure and long-wheelbase Mulliner versions), it occupies the ultra-premium SUV segment against rivals such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan or the Lamborghini Urus, with which it shares group technical underpinnings. The Bentayga has become a pillar of the brand's sales, especially in North America. On the tire and wheel side, it is fitted with large diameters (often 21 or 22 inches) with wide tires; in Quebec, a set of winter tires suited to its weight and power is indispensable for optimal traction and safety on snow and ice.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Bentley modernes chaussent généralement de grandes jantes, le plus souvent de 21 ou 22 pouces sur Continental GT, Flying Spur et Bentayga, avec des pneus à flancs bas et de larges sections. Sur les plateformes Continental/Flying Spur, on retrouve fréquemment un entraxe de 5 trous, des jantes larges et un alésage central spécifique : il est important de respecter l'indice de charge et de vitesse d'origine. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés vu le poids et la puissance de ces véhicules ; un second train hivernal, parfois en diamètre légèrement réduit, améliore motricité et coût. Vérifiez toujours les dimensions exactes inscrites sur la portière avant tout achat.
