Tires on Pontiac Grand AM (Понтиак)

The Pontiac Grand AM was present in the production range of the North American brand several times between 1973 and 2005. Initially, the car was a sports coupe model, and then gradually transformed into a fastback and a classic sedan, changing its concept several times. The name was composed of the names of other models - Grand and AM. The first offered extensive equipment, and the second - a sporty character.

First Generation

The appearance of this model is "due" to the aggressiveness of European and Japanese automakers, who actively promoted sports cars with extensive equipment. Their North American "classmates" were significantly inferior in this, offering a combination of power and asceticism. The first-generation car was created on the A platform developed by General Motors, sharing it with the Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Buick Century Gran Sport. Among these models, the Grand AM stood out with its deformable bumper with polyurethane filler, radial tires. The engine range consisted of two gasoline V8s with 170 and 200 horsepower, which were combined with 4-speed manual or automatic transmissions. Inside, the car offered bucket-shaped front seats with vinyl or velour upholstery, with lumbar support adjustment. Top versions offered air conditioning, tinted glass, and a steering wheel with tilt adjustment.

Second Generation

The second-generation car appeared in 1978, three years after the production of its predecessor was discontinued. In addition to the revised design, which retained the styling features of the first generation, it stood out with the presence in the lineup not only of a coupe but also of a 4-door sedan. Due to the tightening of emissions regulations in some states, the car lost its own gasoline V8s, similar in design to those from Chevrolet. The base version became equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 from Buick. Standard equipment included power steering, disc brakes at the front. Optionally, cruise control, white-striped tires, a sunroof, electric windows, and adjustable front seats were offered.

Third Generation

In 1985, the next-generation car was released. It did not have a direct technical connection with its predecessor, which was discontinued five years earlier. In the lineup, the car replaced the outdated Phoenix coupe. It was created on the N platform, which meant a transition to front-wheel drive. Initially, the model was offered as a coupe with a 2.5-liter lower-valve gasoline engine, an in-line "four" of the Tech IV family. More equipped versions offered a more suitable concept for the car, a gasoline V6 from Buick, as well as a 3-range "automatic" instead of a 5-speed manual transmission. Two years later, it was replaced by a turbocharged 2-liter power unit, which was distinguished by high traction at low revs.

Fourth Generation

The car of the fourth generation, presented in 1992, was one of the variants of the Corsica model, sharing about 80% of technical components with it. This was a classic 4-door sedan with front-wheel drive, which in the base version was equipped with an in-line gasoline "four" with a volume of 2.3 liters, and in more equipped versions - a 160-horsepower V6, which worked in "pair" with a 3-speed automatic transmission. In 1994, it was replaced by a more technological 3.1-liter V6, which received a new 4-range "automatic" a year later.

Fifth Generation

With the release of the fifth-generation model in 1998, the car completely lost its identity, representing a restyled version of the Oldsmobile Alero and Chevrolet Malibu of 1996. Compared to its predecessor, it became a bit shorter, but significantly added to the wheelbase - plus 76 mm. In technical terms, the car surpassed its predecessor in suspension. At the front, a classic "MacPherson" was used, and at the rear - a "multi-link". The engine range consisted of the same power units as the copies from Oldsmobile and Chevrolet. The exception was the optional 3.4-liter gasoline V6, which was previously an exclusive offer of the brand's minivans. The base engine with a volume of 2.4 liters was replaced in 2001 by a 2.2-liter Ecotec from the German Opel, which was less powerful and traction, but offered better fuel economy. The standard equipment of this car assumed the installation of wheels and tires with a diameter of 15 to 17 inches. Such products can be easily found in the online store "Mosavtoshina".
