Vehicle model
Bentley Flying Spur
The Flying Spur is Bentley's large luxury sport sedan, a four-door derivative technically close to the Continental GT. It is aimed at a clientele wanting the space and refinement of a limousine with the performance of a Bentley. Reviving the name of illustrious models of the past, it has gone through several generations, with V8, W12, plug-in hybrid versions and S and Speed derivatives. The most recent generation adopts styling inspired by the Continental GT and a high-performance hybrid powertrain. Highly appreciated as an executive and representation car, it is as comfortable to drive as to be driven in. It is fitted with large wheels (often 21 or 22 inches) and wide tires; in Quebec, an approved winter set suited to its weight and power is essential for safety on snowy or icy roads.

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.
