I don't think I would buy any. If a crosslink broke you would tear the s*** out of the wheel well and front end.

From Diego, we're just 40 minutes away from snow and 90 minutes away from the Desert and 15 minutes from the Beach + We need somekind of traction device in California because most of us are fairweather drivers. Ice or wet roads = numerous accidents

I also remember reading "no chains" for the HHR in the owners manual.
*HERE* is a thread with links for the HHR's online owners manual.

I remember several years ago, someone in Texas pulled "something" else with chains. I believe they are doing some hard time

i believe they are talking about the old school chains. They have different styles now.

Check this site out.

this might work for you. I used the specs for the stock 16" tires on the HHR.
