I just ordered my tires on Friday. Finally decided to go with 17's after much debating. While 18's look great on the HHR, the sacrifice in ride quality is just not worth it for me. (Remember; I've been riding on very cushy 16's for the past 6-months!)
NG - it was your comments to AIRDHHR that sealed the deal for me:
"I have 18's and potholes and manhole covers seem like craters, so I know you have to be paranoid driving around town."

For comparison's sake, in my Chrysler 300C (225/60-18 tires): "Did I just pass Georgia?"
