Vehicle model
Wey Gamme Wey - utilitaires ou VUS
The core of the Wey range consists of SUVs and crossovers, the segment on which the brand was built starting in 2017 with the VV series (VV5, VV6, VV7). These vehicles aimed for an accessible premium positioning, above the Haval brand from the same group. The lineup then evolved toward the "Coffee" series and more recent models such as the Mocha (Coffee 01), the Lanshan, and the V9X, mid-size to large SUVs aimed at a family and urban audience seeking comfort, technology, and electrification. These SUVs, often heavy (more than 2 tonnes) and fitted with large 18- to 21-inch wheels, require a dedicated set of winter tires in Quebec to ensure traction and safety; a second set of smaller-diameter wheels is a common option to reduce costs and ease seasonal changes.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Wey étant essentiellement des VUS et multisegments premium, ils chaussent généralement de grandes jantes en alliage, typiquement de 18 à 21 pouces selon le modèle et la finition. Le Coffee 01, par exemple, reçoit d'origine des pneus 265/45R21 sur jantes 8,5Jx21, avec une monte alternative en 255/50R20. Comme pour la plupart des VUS asiatiques modernes, l'entraxe attendu est de type 5 trous, à confirmer au cas par cas. Pour ces véhicules lourds et puissants, des pneus correctement dimensionnés et bien cotés en charge sont importants. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés (souvent montés sur un second train de jantes de plus petit diamètre, par exemple 18 ou 19 pouces, pour réduire le coût et améliorer la motricité) sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés.
