I own a 1994 Grandam. Live in Ottawa (harsh winters) and am looking to replace the orignal tires. Vehicle has 90,000km; I will keep car for another 4-5 years and probably put another 60-90 km on the tires. What about tire size/ I was told to buy 195/70 R14? ThanksIP: Logged |

The stock size on a Grand Am Sedan was 185/75R14 in 1994. I would stick with this size because it will give you a slightly more comfortable ride and the tires will cost less than the 195/70R14 sized tires. The Bridgestone Turanza Z Revo tires do a very good job in winter weather yet also can be used year round. I also like the Pirelli P400 and the Yokohoma Aegis. Compare prices with your local store and then with tirerack.com. I always order from them. They ship my tires to a shop close to my house who will mount and balance my new tires for a set price(which is no more than what they charge for mounting and balancing if you had purchased the tires from them-usually about $15-$20 a tire). My email is diacovone@aol.com if you have any other questions. Also, read some of the older posts here where someone was looking for tires that offer good winter weather abilities. IP: Logged |

While the stock size may be, 185/75/14, the GT and others with aluminum wheels came with the 195/70/14. Either will work, just replace it with what you have. I have Goodyear Regatta II tires on my GA in MN. They work and ride well. Although I have to admit, I had one bad one from the factory. It didn't fail, but pulled the car to whatever side it was mounted on.IP: Logged |
