The warped brake rotors seems to be an ongoing problem as discussed in earlier threads. It appears that the original "ceramic" brake pucks are too hard and do...

John, I am pretty sure that they are South Korean. If they prove to be good I would like to know myself! I think I have seen them advertised in the Atlanta...
FYI, I put some el cheapo new tires (80 bucks each) on my 06 LT at Pep Boys in a "panic" situation last year. I was leaving town the next day and I had one...
Gary Thanks for the feedback on the tires, I appreciate it very much. I still try to buy American made anything if possible! I know this sounds stupid to some...
It's time to replace the tires on my same model HHR. My mileage is at 67,057. I've never gotten that type mileage out of tires before. Even though they...
These tires are Korean,but that doesn't concern me,we have very few things of this nature that aren't made or partially made in foreign country's now-days.I...
Isn't the HHR made in the US and Canada and assembled in Mexico? Gary ... From: John Healey To: chevyHHR@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 8:53 AM...
Connie, I'm ASTOUNDED that you got that much mileage with factory tires... as they often use inexpensive tires on new cars. If you can get a good deal on...
My experience is that most brake rotor warping is caused by unever cooling after being heated up from hard braking. One way you can do this is to brake hard...
Gary, Hubby and I were pretty astounded over the mileage we've gotten as well. I've never got over 30,000 on any tires before. I'm pretty hard on them...

What I would like to ask is how worn were these tires? Were they down to or past the wear bars? My tires were right at the wear bars and there was significant...
I'll have to check with hubby on that answer. I don't even know what wear bars are ....LOL! I just know I was worried because of mileage, and up until...
Kathy Thanks for your quick response to my asking what tires you had placed 67K + miles on. You sure did have good results with them! I too have had very good...
I asked hubby about the wear bar thing, and he said he didn't have a gauge.  I've been pricing the tires this afternoon. I have a good old friend from high...
The alternative for performance is reprogramming the computer chip. Here is just one site that offers HHR performance programming devices. I did the internet...
Also, don't forget about rotating tires! I rotate mine religiously about every 5000 miles. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 26, 2009, at 5:34 PM, "John Healey"...
I wish I could say mine were rotated, because I know that's part of maintenance; however...they were not.  His hobby of competitive shooting takes up all...
