Oldsmobile tyre change
Oldsmobile was one of America's oldest car brands and was closed by GM in 2004. The cars still running in the UAE are mainly the Aurora, Alero and Bravada, often kept by long-term owners or collectors. The Aurora V8 uses 235/55 R17, the V6 version 225/60 R16, and the Bravada SUV runs 245/65 R17.

The main risk with an Oldsmobile is not finding the size, since these are common GM fitments, but tyre age. A car that only comes out at weekends can keep the same tyres for ten years, and old rubber hardens and cracks in the heat. If the four-digit DOT date code shows a tyre is over six years old, replace it before a long drive.
- Read the DOT date code: the last four digits show the week and year of production.
- Bravada is all-wheel drive; replace tyres in sets of four.
- Many older Oldsmobiles wear aftermarket wheels; the current sidewall size is the best guide.
