There was a previous thread that verified that the 16's fit an SS... No Problem. I also have this verified by TireRack. I just purchased 16x6.5 plus 205/60R16 Blizzak's with the 315MHZ TPMS sensors. In the descriptions, they specify the HHR SS. They arrive EO October.

So looking to run winter 16"s in the upcoming winter instead of the 18"s. There are slight variations. 205/55R16, 215/55R16 215/60R16. 225/60R16...does it really matter as far as fitment?
I notice the Tirerack Blizzak REVO's are still on...with shipping to Canada costing as much as the tires, though, then the price dispairty up here for something similar, isn't that much of a difference.
Still may go with them from Tire Rack along with some steel wheels.
My other question is the TPMS sensors. I haven't seen a definiative answer..if I run the winters without TPMS, what's going to happen? The warning on the DIC everytime I start up? (which can be removed by pushing the info button like any other warning message), and the yellow warning light on? Anything more?
Again, probably should get the TPMS sensors, but just exploring options. IF I do all of the above, it turns 4 66$ US tires at Tirerack into over an 1100$ CDN package with steel wheels and TPMS sensors and shipping....and those tires aren't even on the vehicle yet.
Local options, as I said, are then not that far off price wise, with less shipping hassels....although no shop I talked to mentioned the TPMS system and/or what it would cost on top of the prices quoted.
TIA.
