Mazda Gamme Mazda - véhicules particuliers
Mazda's passenger vehicles consist mainly of the Mazda3 (offered as a sedan and a hatchback) and the MX-5 (Miata) sports roadster. The Mazda3, the flagship compact model, stands out for its elegant design, quality cabin, and engaging driving, appealing to buyers seeking a refined alternative to mainstream compacts. The MX-5, launched in 1989, is the best-selling convertible in history: lightweight and rear-wheel drive, it embodies the spirit of pure driving pleasure the brand holds dear. These vehicles target an audience ranging from the everyday motorist to the driving enthusiast. Tire/wheel note: 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern, typical diameters of about 16 to 19 inches depending on the version. In Quebec, winter tires are mandatory; the rear-wheel-drive MX-5 in particular requires quality winter tires to stay safe on snow and ice.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
La gamme Mazda partage très majoritairement un entraxe de 5x114,3 mm (5 trous), avec un alésage central typique d'environ 67,1 mm sur les VUS comme les CX-30 et CX-5. Les diamètres de jantes courants vont d'environ 16 à 19 pouces selon le modèle et la finition, les versions turbo ou haut de gamme adoptant souvent 18 ou 19 pouces. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires : pour les modèles livrés en 19 pouces, un ensemble hiver dédié en 17 ou 18 pouces (en conservant un diamètre global équivalent) est une option économique et confortable. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte, l'indice de charge et le déport selon l'année et la version.
