How do you think the HHR handles in the snow?
I'm kind of slow sometimes when it comes to humor.

Thanks captain for info on tires. I checked the tires out you mentioned today I probly will get them too. the tire rep said to absolutely mount 4 tires not just two. The blizzards are great but cost about $135 ea. The goodyear snows about $140 ea.{this is State patrol tire they use} About $125 for true snow model. The B F G tiretraction t/a about $102 [not a true winter tire but good all season] The michilin artic alpine about $134 ea. The ones you had came in at $82 ea. and I feel a good buy . Anybody else got feelings on winter tires????? I just looked at my firehawks and they are definately not a tire to run in northern climates. They have no sipes to channel mud ,SNOW, or heavy rain away from center of tire. Pretty serious for us northern boys. I lived in texas for 2 years while in the army,,,BOY do I miss the easy winters down there,,,,just not the damn tornadoes

You guys for me worried about getting winter tires. I have never done that before. The car is front wheel drive. Just drive slow like the turtle. After all he always beats the Rabbit. It's a bit different in the NY Metro area. Soon as it slows down/stops Mr. Plow is everywhere. Afterall all it cost NYC 1 million dollars each inch of snow to clean throught the city.

snow
We've gotten over 24 inches of snow since Saturday. HHR does just fine.
Have to watch your speed, but I don't plan on getting snow tires. Car has front wheel drive and its easy to pass rear driven cars on one way streets etc. Car seems to high center a little on some bad snow clumps, but overall its doing just fine. The HHR has a small wheel base, so that might be an issue, but so far really satisfied.
