Looking at Tires
I just put this same set on mine. Got them for $80.00 each, plus 45 dollars total shipping. I have used them in the past and love em.
I put Cooper tires on the HHR. They work perfectly. I did it because of the good service the local dealer provides. Cooper makes good tires and does not spend a lot of money on advertising like Goodyear, Firestone, etc.
I have a question related to Tire Rack and Big Brand Tire. I have always purchased tires at the local dealer, usually Goodyear or Michelin. I noticed that Tire Rack will deliver straight to a local Big Brand Tire outlet, and the out the door price ends up considerably less than my usual tire shop. If it was just $50 or so, I would stick with my usual guy, but the savings is way more than that. Anything wrong with going the Tire Rack/Big Brand route?
I was unable to find any when I was looking. It really depends on what size tire you are wanting to run. All of the ones I found were either 15" or smaller for cars, or truck tires which were too big.
Just bought a set of Goodyear Assurance Triple Treads.
I have used them on the wifes car for the last 3 years and they have been greeat in Wear, Snow, rain and dry. They were a step up from the Comp TA's that came on my GTP that lasted only 24,000 miles. The Comps wore even but had no life even with the wife driving most of the miles.
Here in the Snow Belt and on a street the city seldom plows they have done a great job.
I went with a set of 215-60-15 as the Revolutions Per Mile were 802 vs the 18 inch pilots that are at 800 RPM so they should fit right on with no problems and if anything a improved ride.
I am still getting the Smoothie wheels painted black with a red lip and street rod rings and I will post pictures once they are mounted.
I guess I will be a little retro in the winter.
