My SS Is Gone... :(

After owning my 2007 Cobat SS/SC for 6 years, I traded it in for a 2012 Chevy Cruze 1LT. She had 112,000 miles on the clock, but because of the payment i had, i had to trade it for something I could drive year round.

...and I miss it.

I doubt they were a true summer tire.

I was on stock Conti tires worn down to wear markers and got stuck here.

When is GM going to drop the 2.0 Turbo into the Sonic or Cruze. It just makes to much sense. The Camaro is heavy and uses way to much gas.

I love my 2009 Colbalt SS. I am holding out for more.

I got my Cobalt last Feb... we had like 1/4 inch of snow on the ground and I had no idea the OEM Conti's were a summer only tire. Man, I was going like 10 MPH and tried to turn... almost went straight into the curb. Couldn't believe how bad they were.

Needless to say, I have some Blizzaks for this year.

drove my cobalt through 4 winters on summers... got stuck in some pretty bad conditions multiple times (even closed down the highway right after I passed in one situation.) I dont forget my ass end slowly moving sideways a couple times on the road.. used the throttle to control the car lol. I think I was going crazy.

Needless to say, I have some very good all seasons now and doubt I ever would need winters. cobalts a beast in the snow. I was trying to spin em last storm (about 5" inches on the ground) and could control my balt very easily.

@CobaltSS 16 thats how my LS was, would just blast through anything, got stuck a couple of times too, and got it out with a bit of rocking, except for one time when i went off into a ditch and my left front suspension was fully un compressed and the tire was off the ground

Now this will be the first winter with my ss/tc, but it does have all seasons with lots of tread left
