The Vibe/Matrix are light vehicles and with fwd are not known for great traction. Many of us in Snow Regions use Snow Tires, which help a lot. These cars are also not low on the decibles and soft on ride. I would think on the roads you describe, it would get old driving a Vibe/Matrix. Don't get me w...

I got 205/55/16 Firestone Winterforce snows last winter, mounted on the trix alloy wheels.I felt more secure and enjoyed better tractionand stopping.The ride was good and I thought noise levelwas not bad at all.

schroeder

Glad to hear you are getting fast service.The main thing is to make sure you're ok.Take care of your self.

schroeder

Hope you are ok.What a bummer. Might be a total.Is that one of those Smart Cars to left ofVibe?Wouldn't want to get hit in one of those.LOL

schroeder

Sounds like I will have no problem.I would not know the measurements till I get to the store. I am confident it will fit unboxed, but prefer to get it in box to avoid scratches.

schroeder

Thanks Brian!I'm excited to get it home with no problem.Then I can play plumber man.

schroeder

Hi:Bought a new dishwasher and hope to pick it up at Sears.Anyone have experience getting it in their Vibe or Trix?Will it fit while still in the box?Sorry I don't know the dimentions of the box.The washer is a 24" wide standard size and height.Thanks

Bought tires!Firestone Winterforce 205/55-16Local Tires Plus matched Tirerack, no shipping.Had em in stock too, no waiting.Mounted on original alloy wheels.Aggresive looking.Wouldn't mind if it did not snow. Just me.

schroeder

Thanks for the reply.Good info.Pictures are great too!

schroeder

Thanks for the info.Hope you don't have the winter tires "Bald" before the snow arrives.

schroeder

Hi ParnellHave you got your snows on yet.The guys at the Firestone/Bridgestone Store told me the peeps in Duluth buy tons of Winterforce and love em for the hills.Because Bridgestone makes those, might be a plus.They are a new tread design this year.Firestone Store is going to match TireRack price a...

schroeder

Hi:Anyone have experience with Firestone Winter Force Tires?I see they list them as a New Style for this year. (tread design or compound)They are priced very reasonable.Also considering General Altimax ArcticThinking of putting em on my xtra original alloy wheels. 205/55-16Thanks

schroeder

Likely needs new Struts both front and rear.They usually last about 50 to 60,000 miles.Anyone but me remember cars with shocks?You could pop em in for about 10 bucks each back in the day.
