Replying to: am2006 (Jul 25, 2006 2:24 pm) They suggested I contact the dealer for solution. Called today to hear, yes the drains in the sun roof is the problem. Decided to google the problem, and here I am. I do like the car, 14K but lost reverse once (replaced shifter) going in next week for wet seat belt/sun roof and 2nd time brake pulse. I hope this time they replace rotors and not just "face" them. Last time dealer faced them, they suggested to rotate the tires (11K) I agreed, but was pissed they charged me $20 to rotate them. Actually, the front tires were off the car for brake warranty work, so to remove the rears and roll them forward seemed expensive. Now, being in Central NY, I need to put on 4 snow tires. I've "been told" that the 4 snows off my 40th Anniversity Grand Prix GTP supercharged will work. I'm not sure, as this G6 has 18" tires and the snows are on 16" rims. Anyone know if they will work?

Replying to: flyshy1 (Nov 21, 2006 8:29 am) As for the wheels, I doubt they will fit. The G6 has a 5X110 bolt pattern, which is fairly unique to several very new GM vehicles. So the 16" tires will not fit your 18" rims, and the 16" rims will probably not fit your G6 because of a different pattern. Kinda out of luck there unless you order 16" steel wheels from the factory. On a G6 site I belong to, there have been a couple of guys trying to buy used steel wheels, but so few are available, you are probably stuck buying them from the dealer. You MAY be able to get some from GMPARTSDIRECT or GMPARTSCHEAP at a better price. If your car came with the Goodyear LS2 tires (that's what came on my car with 18's), they should be ok, since they are all season rated, but they are not snows. If your car came with the Bridgestone tires, you do need snows, because they are summer only tires.

Replying to: lacrossecxs (Nov 21, 2006 8:54 am) up here where we get average of 130 inches of snow, snow tires really make a BIG difference. With the last 2) Grand Prixs I had, when climbing steep and long hills, the traction control would kick in, dropping cylinders, only to loose speed and many times slow down so much I could not make the hill. other times I'd just turn off the traction control and burn my way up the hill... with snows, never had the traction control kick in... with 4) snows, the braking is much more stable, predictable.

tried a GTP '07 with the new engine/transmission combo? Is it faster and more fuel efficient than the '06 version? Thanks. |
