OE tires are crap 97% of the time. Some expensive performace cars do come with better tires but for the price of the car you pay for them.

 

i hate my stock HHR tires and cant wait til they wear out more to get rid of them

bad in snow, bad in rain, and mediocre at best in perfect conditions

not sure what ill be getting, but it seems anything would be better then the rubber on it currently

 

I drive my 08 SS on the snow with no problems. And still has the stock tires on it with 55,000 miles on them.

I am sure there are better tires but the Pilots work just fine.

 

I understand that the OE tires are crap, but are they a high mileage tire?

 

Agree that the stockers suck in snow. 3-4 additional inches here this morning and they just spin with ANY throttle...yuck.

 

The Pilots are better than the Stone. But Yes there is better.

 

Yes, the stock tires are not the best, but if you learn how to drive with them in the snow, they work fine. This will be my 4th winter driving with them and I have only had one incident with them. I really blame myself for the incident because I forgot how fast I was going and took a turn way too fast. That being said, when it is time for me to replace my tires I will be getting a better rated tire.

 

In snow... my HHR stays in the driveway, we take the GTO instead.

No seriously, I hate driving in the snow and I suck at it. I know I have no control with easing into the throttle so I do the smart thing and just stay off the roads.

I know no help here, but I havn't driven it in the snow.

 

It's actually good that you know this and stay off the roads.... wish others would do the same.

 

Used to be no problem when it snowed I just took the explorer but since I gave that to my daughter will have to take out the short bus I put goodyear F-1's on it will have a report for you soon going north this weekend even though the forecast has improved still will have 400 miles to go in snow will let you know how they do
