Vehicle model
Forthing Gamme Forthing - utilitaires ou VUS
Forthing's family of SUVs and utility vehicles forms the core of the brand's international lineup. It brings together compact-to-midsize crossovers such as the T5 and T5 EVO, as well as the Taikon 5, chosen as the spearhead for the Oceania launches in 2026. These vehicles target a family and urban clientele seeking space, ride height, and a good level of equipment at a contained price. Available in turbocharged gasoline, hybrid, or electrified versions depending on the market, they prioritize comfort and connectivity. In terms of tires and wheels, these SUVs adopt 18- to 19-inch fitments with tires of about 235 mm section width; in Quebec, a set of 3PMSF winter tires is indispensable, ideally on a dedicated set of wheels to make seasonal changeovers easier and protect the original wheels from salt and abrasion.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS et multisegments Forthing, tels les T5 EVO et Taikon 5, utilisent des montes typiques du segment compact à intermédiaire : jantes de 18 et 19 pouces, avec des pneus de section moyenne autour de 235 mm (par exemple 235/60 R18 et 235/55 R19). L'entraxe le plus courant sur ce type de VUS chinois est 5x114,3 mm, mais il faut toujours confirmer le boulonnage et l'alésage exacts du modèle. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués 3PMSF sont essentiels et obligatoires; un second train monté sur jantes d'acier ou d'alliage de 17 à 18 pouces simplifie le changement saisonnier. Vérifiez l'indice de charge et de vitesse, surtout sur les versions électriques plus lourdes.
