Re: Sebring screws with the wrong Cobalt

I like them when I want the back end to come out on me. My last car was a 1999 Honda Accord EX. I used to live by the Wind River Canyon in Thermopolis Wyoming(greatest 12 miles of driving road in the world IMO). After I bought my car I took it to the canyon only to learn that my Honda could go through the turns at a higher rate of speed without losing traction. I was puzzled by this until I learned about how poor the tires are. I only have 15k on mine and they are wearing terribly well. I might have to sneak out of the house one night and slash my tires. They weren't bad in the snow though. Until I tried to stop

Re: Sebring screws with the wrong Cobalt

Amazing how much tires will kill the abilities of a car. I have 0.002% tread left on mine, and I will slide out of corners that my Honda could probably take at the same speed. Plus, I cant launch the thing at ALL or I will burn through first at half throttle. Its bad... But damnit tires are so damn expensive! Cant imagine AWD guys having to buy a new set every time you fuck up a tire
