Vehicle model
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Unveiled in 2018, the Cullinan is the first sport utility vehicle (SUV) in Rolls-Royce history. It is named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered and targets affluent customers seeking versatility, ride height, and "light" off-road capability without giving up the brand's luxury and quietness. Built on the in-house aluminum architecture, it offers a highly customizable cabin and a commanding driving position. A second series (Series II) updated its styling and technology. In Quebec, its size, height, and all-wheel drive suit winter, but its very large wheels (up to 22, 23, or even 24 inches) make it important to carefully choose certified winter tires in the correct dimensions; a second set of winter wheels, sometimes in a slightly smaller diameter, is recommended for comfort and traction on snow and ice.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Rolls-Royce modernes roulent sur de grandes jantes, typiquement de 21 à 23 pouces, voire 24 pouces sur le Cullinan, avec des pneus à profil bas et indice de vitesse élevé, souvent à montage spécifique avant/arrière (par exemple des sections de 255 à l'avant et 285 à 295 à l'arrière selon le diamètre). L'entraxe est généralement 5x120, hérité de la base BMW. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires en saison froide : il est courant de prévoir un second train, parfois sur jantes de diamètre légèrement réduit, pour préserver le confort et trouver des dimensions hivernales adaptées. Confirmez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse, et homologation au modèle et à l'année.
