I have this amazing cobalt, how amazing is gonna be when it snows.

People from colorado, is it bad

 

I'm in Calgary where winters can REEEEALLY suck. get some winter tires and you'll be fine so long as you drive sensibly.

 

honestly, invest in a truck. we got off pretty easy on snow last year. we might be due for some crazy storms. . . .

 

lol i was in chicago (home) my first winter in the balt and wow did it suck *****. if theres ice on the ground forget about it.

 

ive never had to big of a problem in mine. this will be my 3rd winter w it. I used to drive from fort collins all the way up to copper 30-40 times in the winter. sometimes its scary, but im a good driver so im not bothered by it. I have all seasons, most people rock snow tread tho.

 

I drove a 06/SS and a 08/Sport Cobalt in the winter with no problems

 

I live in AZ and I'm thinking about driving the balt up to Utah for some snowboarding. My car's lowered on sportlines and I have bfg g-force sport tires. You think I should try to find some different tires? or will I be fine with just some chains for just in case. I've driven in snow before, but not in my car.

 

being from wisconsin driving in snow is no problem for me...i just hate being stationed in washington where ppl have no idea how to drive in the snow

 

calgary here as well and get some winter tires and drive sensibly and you will be fine. this will be my 4th winter with the cobalt and 2nd with the winter tires and its been great. i never get stuck. being lowered is a bit of a pain if you get into some really rutted roads but oh well.

 

i get zero traction in snow or heavy rain

 

are you on winters?

 

ABS/ESC + FWD + Winter Tires + LSD = Yea, this car is fine in the snow lol

 

I drove the car through the snow storms last year on the stock Continental SportContact 2's and my car did fine.





























Except for slamming into a snow bank... with no stopping power.

 

all seasons atm

 

ya all seasons are decent for area's with mild winters but for places with heavier winters winters should be a must. when i had my all seasons on stock i was sliding around everywhere if i gave it too much gas. with the winters i can still have some fun. and i'm a 2.4

 

yeah i know but i do plan on getting conti extreme contact tires before i paint my wheels black

 

I had an intrepid b4 my Balt and compared to that, the Balt slides like no other. I would get different tires. I live in WI and my street usually gets plowed last, so me n my dad usually just do it. Whenever there's more than 6 inches on the roads, I take his F250. just way better.

 

ya i got some hankook icepaws which ran me with my discount at the time $750cdn.

but i also ran down my summer tires so i get to get me some new summer tires come spring

 

I have those Extreme contact DWS tuned continentals right now. Pretty neat tire but traction has gone down from what I was used to out of the sport contacts and there is significant body roll from the non reinforced sidewalls thats the sporty tires had.

 

LOL, cry baby...

try hankook w409's



Then you will feel body roll lol

 

I got rid of my Cobalt and bought a new truck. I haver the proper winter tires on it and get around just fine. It's just all the ******** out there without the proper tires that caust all the problems
