I have almost 38k on my cobalt originals been at 50 psi for last 11,000, wet traction bad otherwise OK, no winter driving yet, tread looks like I have another 20,000. Planning on driving the Stratus to work when weather looks iffy this winter (depending on gas prices).

Nokian WR G2, expensive, but I'm happy with the set I got used for the Stratus when I was really just looking for some 15" rims. They are LRR and winter rated with 50,000 tread life rating. $122 each is the only local price I could find and they are more expensive online. Was going to put those on the Impala 2 at a time, but had a failure on a Sunday so got 2 walmart douglas xtrac II which I've had OK experience with.

I'd put them on the Malibu that's due except initial cost is too high when needing 4, going with some Xice2 $86 instead but in Cobalt, Stratus and coming Altima size.(4 car's 1 tire size)
