Thanks.. Does the LT have a bigger brake disc than an LS?

 

No difference between LS and LT rotors. I've had good luck with Michelin alpin winter tires. FWD or RWD, make a big difference!

 

good. So I will have no problem with the 205/60/15 package from Tire Rack should work with no problems. I am not worried about changes to my speedo.

 

I have Nokian tires on mine and they are excellent,I`ve never had a problem at all and we have some tough winters up here in Quebec.Buy `em

 

what size did you buy??

 

I bought mags for my HHR and put the Nokian`s on my company wheels so they would be standard size I guess.

 

Based on your OEM size (25.5"), suitable 15" tire sizes might be:

205/65R15 is dead on (25.5" diameter)
195/65R15 is slightly smaller (25" diameter)
205/60R15 is smaller still (24.7" diameter)

Geez! Nothing like having your thread hi-jacked!

But...thanks to all who responded to my original question with helpful advice and comments.

 

GOOD GOSH! I just priced Bridgestone Blizzak tires here in NE Ohio, and they want $145 each for them, and they said you HAVE TO get 4. I hunted everywhere locally (or really close) and I'm getting a pair of snows recommended by and from my car dealer for $80 each, and 12.00 mounting and balancing.

 

Snow tire found...
