#7 of 47 Deciding between 2 Michelins by steve333 Mar 09, 2008 (10:35 am)
Well, I like the car to take corners without a problem, but I dont go above 75 MPH on the Freeway (I have cheap insurance and I want it to stay that way).   I'm trying to decide between the Michelin Destiny and the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S. Right now the ride on the freeway sucks and the car takes bumps rough, I'm trying to get a smoother ride and get a good tire also. Aren't H rated tires low profile therefore would be harder on bumps?

Replying to: steve333 (Mar 09, 2008 10:35 am) typically the aspect ratio determends the profile. so with that in mind the circumference of the tire is what you need to keep basically the same. a tire size change may also benefit your ride more so than speed rating. have you asked the guys over at the tires forum.

Replying to: okko1 (Mar 10, 2008 3:22 pm) OK, I'll check it out but I really want to find out which 16 inchers are on the 2008 Cobalt LT2, because if it is a touring tire, not h rated, then it shouldnt matter as much as that guy at Discount Tire said it would.

It matters. H rated is the way to go for the 16 inchers.
#13 of 47 What should I do? by grosloup Apr 27, 2008 (3:37 pm)
I've always driven' S.U.V.'s or Vans (Blazer, Venture, Safari and now an Equinox). I'm thinking of trading the Equinox for a Cobalt Coupe next year, (less expensive, better gas mileage, smaller to drive). My questions are.... is it reliable and a safe car? (crash test). Is it good in snow driving? Will it be able to tow a small (open) utility trailer. (for carrying wood, furniture, snow blower) ect... without damaging the car?  We're both in our 50's and all our children are now gone and married.     I really don't know what I should do and I need help with my decision.

#15 of 47 Sedan may be a better choice by steve333 Apr 30, 2008 (3:15 pm)
I think its a good choice but I would go with the Sedan. Drive both to see which is more comfortable for you.
