Anyone got an idea of wha tires they are getting for there cobalts for the winter time?
gimme some ideas the tires i am looking at are 133 per tire.

I am still looking into Blizzac (I think that is how u spell it) snow tires.. they are definatly the s$*t!!!!

 

they are nice ...but if you dont live a mile deep in snow get something cheaper

 

I got Continental ContiWinterContacts in 205/60/16. They sound like awesome tires, good in rain, snow, ice, and dry conditions and MUCH MUCH better highway tires than the Blizzaks. Blizzaks are great for rough winters, but if you only get snow once in a while or never get more than 6" there are other tires that might be better.

Here's a link:

My tires

 

They look like nice tires however my cobalts rim is 18'' thoses are 16 But i get what u mean.. I'm definatly not gonna get the blizzac's

I live right down the street from an import shop and some 17 year old kid with an EVO 8 came in and sai the clutch wont work.. haha this was around the summer time.. the kid had BLIZZAC SNOW TIRES ON HIS EVO!!! HE WAS LAUNCHING HIS EVO WITH BLIZZACS ON 140 DEGREE PAVEMENT!! yo, the flywheel was bent, warped, rainbow colors and everyother bad thing to be wrong with it. haha stupid evos!

 

You're leaving the 18s on? There is no way in hell I am leaving the stockers on my SS/SC. WAY too many potholes around here, those suckers would be bent to hell before January. A friend of mine tried to go the snow tire/stock rim route on his Jetta and ended up ruining 3 of the 4 rims, so I decided to go with steelies since the cost of 4 was still less than the cost of replacing one stock rim.

If the roads near you aren't bad, then you'll be fine though.

 

heck, the tirerack has some decent (not great, but better than steel) rims for the ss for $75 a piece. bought four rims, 4 winter sport m3s 16"s for just over 700 us...

 

I got the exact same package. The reviews for the M3s are glowing. I'm actually looking forward to winter now.

 

hmm yea i guess your right thanks for the feedback guys!!

 

I bought goodyear triple tred. My dealership says there the bst for cobalt sedans for my new england hash weather

 

I ordered a set of 4 of the 6 spoke 17"x7.5" aluminum wheels ($88USD each) with Pirelli Snow Sport tires from Tire Rack.

Ordered yesterday morning, UPS package tracking shows them on the truck for delivery today.

 

WOW thanks myoshiza819 I think im going to do that
just go with the 17" and snow tires for winter then throw the stockers back on during the summer

or i would probly buy new summer rims by then, still stickin with 18" tho casue its stillfast

 

yea either th eblizzacts or the dunlop M3

 

Where is everyone buyin their wheels from and how much?

 

Check out Tire Rack's website, they offer nice winter tire and wheel packages that include mounting and balancing.

 

Tirerack says there arn't any steel wheels availible and I'm not gonna buy winter alloys to beat up during the winter.

 

Wow, I got my steelies less than a month ago from Tire Rack for $65

 

Thanks a lot guys for all the feedback it helped a lot

 

I thought about the steel wheels, but Tire Rack does not offer them any more. $88USD each for the aluminum wheels I bought seems worth it. Ohio's winters are not always god awful so it will be nice to have half way descent looking wheels when the weather is clear and the car is clean.

 

If I don't get a beater car by then, I'm going to go with just 15 inch steelies. Michigan isn't always the best during the winters. If you look at the price for tires, 15 inch is much cheaper then 17 or 18. Save your money for something you could use when spring hits, like a GM stage kit

 

I saw those but I wonder why TireRack doesn't have them on their website anymore?

 

That's all well and good except 16" is the smallest you can go on the SS/SC...
