HHR in the snow
#11
I have an SS Auto with 16" Firestone Winterforce tires on it. I live in Quebec, so I have quite a bit of experience with snow and ice. No issues what so ever them. I had an 07 Impala LTZ with 17" Michelin Xice tires that cost twice as much and the car was a handful.

I have fairly new Goodrich T/A all seasons on my 2006 LT and I have to say if you're careful with the gas pedal, it seems to handle OK in snowy conditions. It doesn't handle as well as our Dodge Caravan though. That's an easy drive in the snow.

Haven't tried them in real snow yet, Guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.... I expect they will be fine.

The RSA is a old tire and mostly a cheap OE tire they sell to car companies. Car MFG don't want to pay anything for tires so most OE tires are crap till you get to the top line cars.
The RSA were good tires when they came out but todays tire technology has really passed them up.
