If you can get your hands on a set of 15 inchers, you'll be able to get a 70 ratio 15 inch tire; these should be much cheaper and will likely perform better if you stay below the stock 215 width (like: 195 or 205).
Edit: 205/65R15 works perfectly diameter wise and is an available tire size.

I just put the numbers in a tire size calculator and the speedometer will only be off by 0.4 mph with the 15s vs 0.9 mph with 16s.

I could swear I just read that the esc was standard in my new motor trend magazine where they list all the new 2008 models. I'll check again but I'm pretty sure the said it was standard along with onstar and tpm.

Nope; I have the brochure sitting next to me. You can only get "StabiliTrak" ESC on the 2008 2LT models (4 door or panel versions).

Well I double checked and motor trend said ESC, TPM, and onstar are standard across the line. I can't believe motor trend could be wrong
Geez you pay for a magazine and can't even get accurate information

My 2007 HHR has the electronic steering on it. I haven't gone through winter yet. I love my Silver Beauty and do not plan on doing any mods to it.

Now I just have to figure out if I want to drop that much money...
