How about you think.

You can easily drive away on two 15 - 20 psi tires.

Blacky blacky blacky........................ you do wear my patience, as well as others. We have been trying to be nice, and overlook some of your rather unorthadox suggestions, but you sure don't make it easy.

Now you say "you can easily drive away on two 15 - 20 psi tires". Yes, that is true, and one can also drive on 4 flat tires - ok, the car won't handle well at all, and it will be quite noisey with the tires flopping around as they come off the rims etc., and it will be dangerous as all get out, but yeah you can drive with 4 flat tires!!! Would I or any others here recommend it?

If someone here running low profile tires on their SS running tricked out 18" rims tries running 15-20 psi in their tires to limp a few miles to get their tires pumped up are you prepared to stand up and pay for replacing their rims when they get totally trashed on the first bump in the road?

PS: go read the private message I sent you earlier.

Trust people to use information in context:

Most HHRs have 55 or 60 series tires. 60 series tires are good for unpaved roads, and have less tendency to hydroplane.

Even with the tricked out tires you cherry picked, who says the low tire is actually flat?

I have always carried tons and tons of tools I finally woke up and said to myself I don't know how to work on my HHR so make sure my AAA card is up to date. Hopefully I am in a working cell area.

Wow to be a mod here you need to be a former kindergarten teacher or what? Take it out into the hall, or turn in your badge

Well actually I was a hallway monitor and a crossing guard, and unfortunately this thread has gone from helpful to something less, so school's out.
