Vehicle model
Great Wall (GWM) Cannon/Poer
The GWM Cannon (sold under the Poer name in China and in certain markets) is GWM's flagship mid-size pickup, launched in the late 2010s to rival established one-ton pickups. Built on a ladder frame, it comes in 4x2 and 4x4 double-cab versions, with a braked towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg depending on the version. The Cannon targets both work and family and recreational use, with full equipment at a competitive price. A larger and more upscale version, the Cannon Alpha, tops the lineup. In Quebec, as with any pickup, a robust set of winter tires suited to the load is essential given the vehicle's weight and winter conditions; these pickups use good-diameter wheels and tires with strong sidewalls.

Tire and wheel compatibility
La gamme GWM va des berlines électriques compactes (Ora) aux gros 4x4 et camionnettes (Tank, Poer, Cannon, Wingle), ce qui couvre une large plage de dimensions. Les VUS tout-terrain et camionnettes montent généralement des jantes de plus grand diamètre et des pneus plus hauts à flancs robustes, alors que l'Ora utilise des roues plus modestes. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) varie selon le segment ; vérifiez toujours la plaque du véhicule ou la documentation avant l'achat. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver conformes sont obligatoires : pour les modèles lourds 4x4, privilégiez des pneus hiver adaptés à la charge et à l'usage, et une monte hiver dédiée (souvent en diamètre inférieur) simplifie le rechaussage saisonnier.
