Yea, agreed, i live on the small hill but i have to run the stop sign or i get stuck going up.. so i have to make sure no one is there before I go. Its a rural area so usually there is no one. but still..

If there are local junk yards... get some steelies from something that has 5x110. I think the Malibu falls into that category. Check ebay too. You should be fine with a good All-Season tire too. No need to go full winter.

If your gonna get tires for winter get winter snow tires. There is a big difference between an all season and winter snow tire. The whole compound of a snow tire is softer making it stay soft enough in the winter to maintain better traction. I will never not own a set of winter tires after feeling the difference they make over an all season. My winter tires are on their last season and I garuntee they still have more traction than a new all season tire. Our cars have alot of power and not much weight It doesn't take much to make the wheels spin.
