History
History of the Scion Gamme Scion - utilitaires ou VUS
Scion never marketed a true SUV or utility truck during its existence: the brand was centered on compacts and sport coupes. The most versatile models in the lineup were practical, roomy hatchbacks, such as the xB, a boxy compact with generous interior volume and a tailgate that eases loading, and the xD, an urban subcompact. These vehicles, while not SUVs, appealed to customers looking for a practical, economical, and customizable format for the city. In Quebec, their front-wheel drive combined with good dedicated winter tires ensures adequate winter mobility. In terms of tires and wheels, these models adopt the widespread 5x100 bolt pattern with wheels typically from 16 to 17 inches, which offers a wide choice of all-season and winter tires. Stick to the original size to preserve speedometer accuracy and comfort.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Scion, dérivées de plateformes Toyota et Subaru, adoptent généralement l'entraxe (bolt pattern) 5x100, très répandu, ce qui facilite le choix de jantes et de pneus. Les diamètres de jantes courants vont de 16 à 18 pouces selon le modèle et la finition : les compactes (xB, xD, iM) tournent autour de 16 et 17 pouces, tandis que les versions sportives (tC, FR-S) montent souvent en 17 pouces d'origine. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés montés sur un second jeu de jantes en acier ou en alliage sont fortement recommandés, surtout pour le FR-S à propulsion. Respectez toujours la dimension d'origine inscrite sur le montant de portière pour préserver la précision du compteur et le comportement.
