Vehicle model
ZX Gamme ZX - utilitaires ou VUS
ZX's utility lineup is the heart of the brand. It groups together mid-size pickups, notably the Grand Tiger family (sold since the turn of the 2000s) and the Terralord (unveiled in 2016), as well as body-on-frame SUVs such as the Admiral and the Landmark, sold in the 2000s. These vehicles target professional, agricultural and off-road uses in emerging markets: the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Rugged, simple and economical, they prioritize payload capacity and mechanical reliability over comfort. When it comes to tires and wheels, these utility vehicles typically run 15- to 16-inch wheels with high-sidewall tires (for example 225/75R15 or 235/70R16); in Quebec, 3PMSF winter tires on steel rims would be recommended, after verifying the model's exact bolt pattern.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme ZX produit surtout des pick-ups et VUS de gabarit moyen à châssis robuste (Grand Tiger, Terralord), ces véhicules adoptent typiquement des jantes de 15 à 16 pouces et des pneus utilitaires à flancs hauts, par exemple en 225/75R15, 235/70R16 ou 245/70R16 selon les versions. Ce type de monte privilégie l'endurance et la charge plutôt que la performance routière. Au Québec, où ZX n'est pas distribué officiellement, un propriétaire devrait viser des pneus d'hiver homologués 3PMSF dans la dimension d'origine, idéalement montés sur un second train de jantes en acier de même diamètre. Vérifier l'entraxe (bolt pattern) réel du véhicule avant tout achat de jantes, car il varie selon le modèle et la génération.
