Cobalt in snow!!

I gotta say that im quite impressed by the cobalts performance in snow! Its easy to handle in most situations and also, the traction control, which was activated 90% of the time, and ABS worked flawlessly to keep me out of trouble .

i also got a couple of cobalt in snow pics that ill post them up tomorrow!

Sounds like you made it all right, but did you make this thread just because of the other one about how bad the Balt sucks in the snow? lol

i hear the wider the tire the worse it will be in the snow. like my winter car has 195/60/15 for tires. but i did a wider tire now 205/60/15 so we will see how it does this year in the snow last year it was like a jeep it never got stuck. good old 2001 pontiac sunfire

Well, that all depends. You get traction based on the width of the tires, as well as the weight. Since our cars are quite small, you may trade off some "get-going" traction for good stopping power with wider tires.

The Stock SS/SC tires realy faild me today. I couldn't even get out of my drive way here in WA. I really wish I had room for some snow tires and wheels on my journy. South California should be a little better for the winter.
