Vehicle model
Haima Gamme Haima - véhicules particuliers
Haima's passenger car lineup historically gathered sedans and city cars, several of which derived directly from Mazda models during the joint-venture era (the M3 and M6 families, as well as the small Haima 2). These cars targeted an urban and family audience looking for an affordable, well-equipped vehicle. Over the years, the sedan offering has receded in favor of SUVs and electric vehicles, a worldwide market trend. These models are not marketed in North America. In terms of tires and wheels, these sedans and city cars typically use smaller diameters than SUVs (often 15 to 17 inches). In Quebec, winter use would require mountain-snowflake-certified winter tires in the original size, with a bolt pattern to be validated according to the exact model.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme Haima n'est pas distribuée au Québec, ces véhicules y sont très rares; les références servent surtout d'équivalences. Les VUS et MPV récents (type 7X) chaussent couramment des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, avec des pneus comme 215/60R17, 215/55R18 ou 225/55R19 sur les versions sportives. Les petites citadines électriques utilisent des diamètres plus modestes. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) varie selon le modèle et doit être vérifié au cas par cas avant tout achat de jantes. Comme pour tout véhicule roulant au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) sont obligatoires de décembre à mars; il faut alors choisir des dimensions équivalentes et un entraxe compatible.
