Vehicle model
Triumph Gamme Triumph - véhicules particuliers
The heart of Triumph's production was a range of rear-wheel-drive passenger cars: the TR2 to TR6 roadsters, the GT6 coupe, the small Spitfire, the V8-powered Stag grand tourer, as well as saloons such as the Herald, the 2000/2.5 PI, the sporty Dolomite Sprint, and the final Acclaim. Produced mostly between the 1950s and 1984, these models targeted driving enthusiasts and a broad export market, particularly in North America. Today, they are prized collector cars, supported by clubs and a parts network. In terms of tires, these cars typically run 13- to 15-inch wheels (steel, wire, or alloy depending on the model) and narrow tires with tall sidewalls. The bolt pattern and center bore vary from one model to another: always check the exact specifications. Most are stored away during the Quebec winter.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Triumph sont des voitures sport et berlines compactes anciennes : elles utilisent généralement de petites jantes de 13 à 15 pouces, souvent en acier ou à rayons, avec des pneus à flancs hauts de section étroite. L'entraxe varie selon les modèles; il convient de vérifier le diamètre, l'alésage central et le déport propres à chaque voiture avant tout achat. Beaucoup d'amateurs montent des pneus de tourisme classiques ou des reproductions d'époque. Pour un usage hivernal au Québec, ces véhicules sont rarement utilisés sur route enneigée; en cas de circulation hivernale, des pneus d'hiver conformes restent obligatoires, mais la majorité des Triumph sont remisées l'hiver.
