Thanks guys. They are in transit now from NV and should be here before the next round of slick stuff. We use the Winterforce on our Pontiac and they work really well. We lived on a hill that had a steep incline and those things just climbed right up it even in deep snow.

 

Just for information.
At various times I used tires on my HHR: 205 / 55r16 , 205 / 60r16 , 215 / 55r16. Including Blizzak.
It all worked very well. Front and rear. In turn nothing clung and not rubbing against.
If that is expensive or not commercially available - you can look at a different size. The difference will be 1/5 inch up or down. Not noticeable in daily operation.

 

I have a set of 4 -16" wheels that will bolt right on, only used 1 winter. PM me and will work a deal plus shipping. I am running 215/60/16's on my 2LT with no issues.

I used to have Winterforce on my Acura & they worked very well for the price, not as well as my Michelin snow tires though. Then again the Winterforce were $400 cheaper.

 

Got my tires put on today. Ran around a bit to work em in and re-tighten any loose nuts and they feel good. Now we'll see int he morning what the wife says after she comes home from work. She'll drive it further tonight and most likely at a far higher speed. LoL
