FYI. That Blazer SS is not even a reality yet. Those pictures are just artist renderings according to the article. So, IF they do decide to build a SS version in the future, it won't be the same as pictured.

Catman.....
I believe those were tires injected with foam......at least the tires on our heavy equipment were. I think the tires Papa joe is speaking of is the recent news article on the TV media sites. Those tires are spoked with rubber, Should be a video on this forum if still available, we discussed this a number of years ago as, I believe Michelin, worked on them.

unfortunately, it can be stated that each goose is concerned only with its own profit. This applies to the whole concern, and a particular boss from the biggest to the most insignificant.
A small revolution or just a cold snap - and they will be very disappointed. They will understand that money cannot be eaten.

Those airless tires are wide open to pranksters sticking a 3' (or 1m) rod through the tire. Instant immobilization.
Also, those things would collect mud and stones if you go offroad (and ice in winter). How do you deal with wheel balance issues at the dealer?

There are a few HHR’s I’ll be looking at, to possibly replace Oldblue.
300,000 miles is close, I might replace the drive train, I might just keep driving it.
I want an SS , but the insurance is nuts up here, any performance designation, and you jump to almost double the premium.
A replacement rust free body wouldn’t be out of the question, the salt kills everything!
