14" (inch) Wheels On a Chevy Cobalt LS [Part 2] - 09-17-2009

This is just a follow up from the other video where I mention the other stuff I initially wanted to mention in the first video. I also just wanted to show what the car would look like. At 0:15 I call those tires the Magna-Grip "Winter Force"; I was wrong, I meant to say "Winter MARK!!!". In this video I also show how to install an after-market wheel cover.

If you happened to see this video before seeing part one, please be sure to see that one first AND read the description to see if it answeres any question(s) you might have, if it did not then feel free to post the question/ comment. Again, any and all input is appreciated and I hope this is useful.

I tried to get the 15 inch steel rims for my 2009 Pontiac G5 but NOBODY has them. They all got bought up by people wanting the snow tires and it really angers me that everybody who WOULD have them would charge at least 80 dollars a wheel! I had a GMC Safari Van with all wheel drive. Did you say you put 15 inch tires on 14 inch wheels? I couldn't quite make that out.

No no no, I was just mentioning that even though the car calls for 15" rims, you can put 14" if you like. The 5-studded is a whole different game, I think the smallest you can go is a 15" or a 16"

Can I put low profile snows on my 2007 Cobalt?

[suburbanator91]

Sure, if they make them. What size are you talking about?

[ricanupstate]

Great vid...how much did you pay for those tires???

[suburbanator91]

I paid $50.00/ tire @ Mavis Discount Tire. I don't know where you are and if you have one. Magna-Grip is an affiliate of Goodyear.

That's the problem with these new cars and suv's. They all are trying to make the sporty look with these wide tires from the factory. They may be good for curves in a hot summer day. But when comes winter there is not enough vehicle weight for those wide tires to do any good. So ya narrow is best way to go. Look at old ford model T's with the bike tires. Went through stuff a 4x4 today would go through. Wide tires plow snow. Narrow slices.

I have Nexen WinGuard 231's now. I don't know which one I would recommend more.

I had a set of these, and ran them for 4 years all year round, and never had a problem with them. They still have about 1/2 inch depth worth of tread left. The only problem that I ever had with these tires was that they absolutely suck in the rain. Other then that, these tires will get you through a blizzard, and not let go. These will get you home. I highly recommend these tires.

Oh ok. I see. But yeah my model which is a 5 stud can have the 15 inch steel rim. The 15's are the base model's rim for the now 5 stud cars. Mine are 16 inch alloys... the better rims of course. I had 14's with firestones winterforce snow tires on my 92' chev Berretta years ago the V6's weight with those snow tires really surprised my neighbor who owned a jeep wrangler.
