How are all the cobalts doing this winter?
How are all the cobalts doing this winter?
Well so far NE Ohio has been pretty good. I bought continental extreme contact tires for this winter. They are all season but when there was some snow they were amazing. Just wondering how everyone else out there driving their balts this winter are doing.
Mines doing great......she did get pissed off at me when i tried to drive her before here warm up cycle was over in 30 degree weather...i will not be doing that again
nice.....Im about to drive to texas from cali and back couple months later

Doing great here other than staying dirty because it's too cold to get a car wash. Had snow over the Christmas weekend. I'm honestly shocked on how well it performed in the snow with the stock Conti's and no LSD. Now turn traction control off... well, that's a different story
Oh, and as someone said previously, this car hates you if you don't let it warm up before getting on it. I was trying to pull out of my neighborhood when it was cold and the engine wasn't warm enough and it felt slower than my G5
Riding on Nitto NeoGens...no issues here 
Having said that, if you aren't on winter tires, drive very carefully and plan ahead for stops...but that should just be common knowledge

Fine as it did last winter. Even when we got 3 or 4 feet of snow dumped on us in a day and a bit it got through it without a problem while I watched numerous people in my neighbourhood get stuck (I just had to turn off traction control as usual). Had the Michelin Alpin PA3s for two seasons now and for being a winter performance tire, no complaints
. I had to make sure to clean out the intercooler at that point though....I was going real slow pushing the snow with the lower lip and intercooler...she got packed up pretty hard.
Also happy to see the R1s + Hawk HPS work well in the cold/wet weather, and my slide pins are staying properly lubricated this year since servicing them myself. No more binding for me!

We had our snow and I thought the summer tires would suck, but I underestimated how sucky they'd be. It was terrible. I got stuck too much, I bought new tires and it stopped snowing and the forecast is saying no snow for awhile. No sticking snow anyway... figures
We've had snow on the ground for a couple months now and the SS/TC is having fun proper winter tires and knowing how to drive in winter means you can drive any car year round.
well i guess if you see some news feed with a ss balt vr wingless with prob a bashed in hahn intercooler its me because i love the snow lmao. And where i am gonna be going in cali theres 12 feet lol
The stock conti's would have me in a ditch or another car by now.
