Frequently Asked Questions

What size tires does a Pontiac Grand Am use?
The Pontiac Grand Am tire size varies by trim level and model year. Base trims typically use smaller wheels (16") while higher trims use 17" or 18" wheels. Check the breakdown below for your specific year and trim.
What is the correct tire pressure for a Pontiac Grand Am?

Can I put bigger tires on my Pontiac Grand Am?
You can typically go one size up in width (e.g., 215 to 225) without issues. Going up in diameter (e.g., 16" to 17") requires matching wheels and may affect speedometer accuracy. Extreme upsizing can cause rubbing and void warranty.
