GAC Aion Y
The Aion Y is a compact electric crossover SUV from the Aion brand, designed for the city as well as for longer trips, with a spacious cabin and a practical everyday format.

In terms of tires and wheels, a crossover of this size typically uses 17- to 18-inch wheels with a 5-bolt pattern; in Quebec, quality winter tires are indispensable given the vehicle's weight, and low-rolling-resistance fitments better preserve winter range.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme constructeur de berlines, de VUS compacts à intermédiaires et de fourgonnettes, GAC couvre des montes de pneus variées. Les VUS compacts (type GS4) et les électriques Aion utilisent fréquemment des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, tandis que les modèles plus imposants (GS8, M8) peuvent monter en 18-20 pouces. L'entraxe est généralement de type 5 trous, courant sur ces segments. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur la portière (ex. largeur/série/diamètre) avant l'achat. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires de décembre à mars ; pour les électriques, privilégiez des pneus à faible résistance au roulement afin de préserver l'autonomie par temps froid.
