Ozzy Tyres Unveils Next-Generation 'Overland Series' Mag Wheels, Setting a New Standard for Aussie 4×4 Adventures
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - In a move poised to redefine off-road travel in Australia, Ozzy Tyres has announced the release of its highly anticipated Overland Series mag wheels. Engineered specifically for the diverse and often punishing conditions of the Australian landscape, these new wheels cater to adventurers who demand uncompromising performance, durability, and eye-catching style.
'We've always known our 4x4 community wants wheels that can handle everything from outback tracks to beach runs,' says Marcus Ford, Head of Product Innovation at Ozzy Tyres. 'The Overland Series is a direct response to that demand. It's about giving drivers the confidence to tackle tough terrain without sacrificing on-road comfort or style.'
Built for the Best—and the Worst—of Aussie Roads
From bone-dry desert plains to unpredictable coastal weather, Australia is home to some of the harshest driving conditions in the world. The Overland Series wheels use a lightweight alloy construction to reduce strain on a vehicle's suspension while increasing fuel efficiency. According to Ford, they've also been rigorously tested for impact resistance—meaning less worry about cracks or bends when navigating rocky surfaces or corrugated dirt roads.
Sleek Designs, Tough DNA
Beyond performance, aesthetics play a key role in the Overland Series. Drivers can choose from multiple finish options, such as matte black or brushed metallic, to match the unique personality of their 4x4. 'These wheels aren't just for show,' Ford notes. 'But they certainly know how to make an entrance.'
Pushing Industry Boundaries
Ozzy Tyres has built a reputation for delivering high-quality products that strike the perfect balance between form and function. With the Overland Series, the company is inviting Australia's off-road enthusiasts to experience a new level of capability—and look good doing it.

World Map Shows Countries That Owe China Money
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Once the world's largest financier, China has in recent years become its top debt collector as grace periods expire on billions of dollars in loans issued to the global south. This year, a record $22 billion in debt to China is due from 75 of the world's poorest countries, according to a recent report from the Australian think tank the Lowy Institute. A Newsweek map based on World Bank data charts the external debts owed to China by more than 100 countries. Newsweek has contacted the Chinese Foreign Ministry for comment by email. Why It Matters China's lending spree peaked in the 2010s, generating more than $1 trillion in obligations tied to infrastructure projects under President Xi Jinping's flagship Belt and Road Initiative. U.S. officials have blasted the initiative as "debt trap diplomacy"—leveraging loans to gain control of critical infrastructure. China rejects this, saying its overseas lending operates on mutually beneficial terms. But as repayments mount, the burden will strain developing economies and divert resources from priorities such as health care, education and poverty reduction, the Lowy Institute wrote. What To Know China accounted for about 5 percent, or $441.8 billion, of the $8.8 trillion in public external debt owed by all low- and middle-income countries, according to data from the World Bank's 2024 report on International Debt Statistics. The figures cover the external debt stocks of public and publicly guaranteed debt to China, alongside countries' total external debt stocks as of the end of 2023. In absolute terms, Pakistan tops the list of Chinese debtors, owing $22.6 billion—almost a sixth of its $130.8 billion external debt. Argentina follows with $21.2 billion of its $266.2 billion external debt, and Angola owes Beijing $17.9 billion of its $57 billion external debt. When measured by the share of total debt owed to China, Djibouti is the most exposed, with more than 40 percent of its $3.4 billion external debt tied to Chinese lenders. In Laos, Chinese loans make up 30 percent of its $20.3 billion debt burden. Zambia follows with about 27 percent of its $29 billion debt owed to China.

Kyodo News via AP What People Are Saying Riley Duke, a research fellow for the Lowy Institute, wrote in his May report: "China is grappling with a dilemma of its own making: it faces growing diplomatic pressure to restructure unsustainable debt, and mounting domestic pressure to recover outstanding debts, particularly from its quasi-commercial institutions." Mao Ning, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, told reporters on May 27: "I can tell you that China's cooperation on investment and financing with developing countries follows international practice, market principles, and the principle of debt sustainability." What Happens Next China is under growing international pressure to work with debt-strapped nations on restructuring their obligations. This could give the West a chance to regain some influence lost to China in the developing world, Duke wrote. Yet Washington may struggle to seize the moment, as the Trump administration scales back international engagement and U.S. soft power—pulling out of the World Health Organization, slashing the United States Agency for International Development's budget and planning deep cuts to the State Department.

Dollar mired in U.S. economic weakness and trade limbo
The dollar was headed for a weekly loss on Friday, undermined by signs of fragility in the U.S. economy and as trade negotiations between Washington and its trading partners made little progress despite a looming deadline. Key for markets will be the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report later on Friday, which will draw greater scrutiny after a slew of weaker-than-expected economic data this week underscored the headwinds from President Donald Trump's tariffs. Currencies were taken on a round trip overnight, with most surging against the dollar initially on optimism that Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke in a more than one-hour-long call, before paring some of their gains. The euro also got a further lift from the European Central Bank's (ECB) hawkish rhetoric following a widely expected rate cut, which sent the common currency to a 1-1/2-month high of $1.1495 on Thursday. It last traded 0.05% higher at $1.1449. "We are inclined to treat Lagarde's a degree of caution, albeit given this shift in tone, we no longer see our previous forecast for a 1.50% terminal rate as the most likely outcome," said Nick Rees, head of macro research at Monex Europe. He now expects just one more rate cut in September which will take the deposit rate to 1.75%. Most currency pairs were also little changed in the early Asian session on Friday, with sterling up just 0.1% to $1.3583 having scaled a more than three-year top in the previous session. It was set to rise 0.9% for the week. The yen fell 0.1% to 143.74 per dollar. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar was little changed at 98.72 after having hit a six-week low on Thursday, and was headed for a weekly loss of 0.7%. All eyes are now on Friday's jobs data to determine the next move in currencies. Expectations are for nonfarm payrolls to have increased by 130,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate is forecast to hold steady at 4.2%, with greater risks of a rise to 4.3%. "Within all the softness that we've seen in the data this week has probably been more responsible for rejuvenating the bearish U.S. dollar narrative than anything else that's gone on," said Ray Attrill, head of FX research at National Australia Bank. "We've always taken the view that once it becomes clear that the U.S. economy is no longer exceptional, and that the policy actions that we've seen to date, together with the relative tightness of Fed policy, will start to show through particularly in a weakening labor market. Hence the importance of tonight's numbers." Adding to headwinds for the dollar, investors remain worried about U.S. trade negotiations and the lack of progress in hashing out deals ahead of an early July deadline. The highly anticipated call between Trump and Xi also provided little clarity and the spotlight on it was quickly stolen by a public fallout between Trump and Elon Musk. Elsewhere, the Australian dollar ticked up 0.06% to $0.6512, and was set for a 1.1% weekly rise. The New Zealand dollar rose 0.17% to $0.6048 and was also headed for a 1.1% weekly gain.

Ford Recalls 492K Explorers over B-Pillar Trim That Might Fly Off
Ford is recalling 492,145 Explorers because of an issue that may cause the B-pillar trim to fly off while driving. The recall applies to certain Explorers from the 2016 to 2017 model years. According to recall documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford is still working on a remedy for the recall. Ford issued a recall for 492,145 vehicles with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) because of an issue that may cause the B-pillar trim to fly off while driving. According to NHTSA documents, the recall covers certain Explorers from the 2016 to 2017 model years. Recall documents show that Ford's team reviewed plant records to determine the production timeline. The affected models entered production in June 2015, with improvements made to the production line in April 2017. Michael Simari | Car and Driver According to the NHTSA documents, the issue may stem from a foam ring added to the back of the B-pillar during production. Increased outward pressure from the foam ring, combined with an inconsistent use of hand rollers during installation, means the B-pillar trim could detach while driving, potentially causing a hazard for other drivers. The documents also explain that owners may be able to see the trim separating from the top of the front doors when entering or exiting the vehicle, and/or hear wind noise rattling while driving. According to NHTSA, Ford is still working on developing a remedy for the issue. Dealer notifications took place in late May, with Ford planning to send interim owner notification letters between June 9 and June 13. Once a remedy has been developed, Ford will contact affected owners by mail and instruct them to bring their SUV to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have it fixed for free. As of May 2025, the automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the recall. Jack Fitzgerald Associate News Editor Jack Fitzgerald's love for cars stems from his as yet unshakable addiction to Formula 1. After a brief stint as a detailer for a local dealership group in college, he knew he needed a more permanent way to drive all the new cars he couldn't afford and decided to pursue a career in auto writing. By hounding his college professors at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was able to travel Wisconsin seeking out stories in the auto world before landing his dream job at Car and Driver. His new goal is to delay the inevitable demise of his 2010 Volkswagen Golf. Read full bio
