Vehicle model
Great Wall (GWM) Tank 300
The GWM Tank 300 is a mid-size off-road SUV produced since 2020, recognizable by its boxy neo-retro styling. It uses a ladder frame (shared with the GWM pickup platform), a solid rear axle and part-time four-wheel drive with low range and differential lockers, making it a true off-roader pitted against the Jeep Wrangler or the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. It offers good ground clearance and generous approach and departure angles, as well as a tight-turn ("tank turn") function. The Tank 300 earned five stars from ANCAP. In Quebec, its winter and off-road capabilities benefit from being complemented by winter tires suited to off-road use; this type of 4x4 uses good-diameter wheels and tall, robust-sidewall tires.

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.
