Did you think that they made a car without a battery? We have heard that one here.

Thank goodness you haven't needed a jumpstart yet. Please read the manual before you damage your car.

My last tire swap I went from 225/45R18 to 245/40R18 and I like the difference. Not going to be long before the DWS's are toast. Starting to browse options now.

Thanks for your sage advice donbrew. Judging from your posts, I assume sarcasm is one of the personal characteristics required to be a moderator.

Jacob. Just a little FWIW if you didn't know.

The spare tire will NOT fit on the front of a SS with Brembos. If you have a flat on the front, you have to take off one of the "good" back tires and put the spare in it's place. Then you put the "good" tire on where the flat is.

I saw that in the owner's manual. Thanks.

Sarcasm was not intended. Sorry you can't take "sage advice" in the spirit it is given.

My point being: If you could not find the spare tire you could not find the battery either. Or the jump points under the hood.

Fair enough. I misunderstood your intent.

Spare won't fit on the SS front without Brembo's either. Ask me how I know....

Unless the SS comes with a bigger spare than other HHR's.
