based on a quick calculation of your 1/8 mile et
From Wallace racing website (great site for HP et calculations)
http://www.wallaceracing.com/Calculators.htm
Your 1/4 Mile ET is 14.23 seconds computed from your vehicle 1/8th ET of 9.1 seconds.
But based on what I have seen others run with the HHR SS these cars are very deceiving they seem to always run better in the quarter than you would expect basesd on the 0-60 times and or 1/8 mile et
I am assuming alot of this is due to their very poor 60' times tires etc.
I am thinking myself you would be 13.90 but I am just guessing here.

The taller the side wall the better traction you will get.due to the sidewall being able to wrinkle more on a drag type tire which absorbs the shock off the line.
I would not want to try and push an hhr Into a corner with drag radials on the front and definentley not with slicks on the front.
So ya gotta decide slicks and change at the track or drag radials on the street and be careful in the corners.
Checkout 2005hhrauto
He has experience with the drag radials.

I too am stuck on what tires I want to run.
I had thought about getting some tires for my 16" steelies, but they are only 6.5" wide and don't know if anything reasonable would fit on it.
OR if I could find 2 more stock SS wheels, I could mount some DR 18s on em and swap whenever I feel like and no one would know...
What choices are you looking at?
