Vehicle model
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Originally launched in 2009 and then thoroughly redesigned in 2020 (second generation), the Ghost is the "most dynamic" and most accessible luxury sedan in the modern lineup, designed for owners who drive themselves as much as they are chauffeured. More understated and pared-back than the Phantom, it favors discreet elegance while retaining the comfort, quietness, and Bespoke customization characteristic of the brand. It is also available in an extended-wheelbase (Extended) version for more rear-seat space. In Quebec, its all-wheel drive and active suspension help in winter conditions, but its large low-profile-tire wheels make a properly sized set of certified winter tires essential for the cold season.

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.
