Hello all!
I bought a grocery cart with a small motor (Chevy Trax) last spring and love it so far!
Hoping to learn more about it and hearing from other Trax owners.


Thanks!

People are making Trax all over...North, South, Snow, Sun. Must be a great car?

 

[TrainTrax]

Well Chevy has a pretty good reputation globally. I think it just shows the reach of GM.

I hear many people putting these little 4 wheelers down, I am very happy with mine.

I have my snow tires mounted on sonic wheels and I'm ready to try this vehicle in the snow.

Don't rush the snow on my account, I can roll them back down the cellar steps if we don't get any of that white stuff from ****.

Hello. I too am from the Frozen North... Just leased a new Trax ourselves.

Tell me more beeguz about sonic wheels and snow tires... It is TOUGH finding snow tires for the 2016 Trax with the 205-70-16's. Thinking that a set of steel wheels and tires may be in order.

How tough can it be? Where have you checked so far? I would assume any tire store would be able to help you out. Just head down to Canadian Tire.

I just put this post on the Tires page but I will move it here:

When you plan on snow tires I would pick up a set of Sonic or Cruze wheels they are reasonable on ebay, mine were 10 spoke Sonic wheels they were bought for $299.00 shipped

Then if you want your tire pressure sensors Ac delco 22854866 I bought these at Amazon for $16.99 each shipped

For tires I bought Cooper weather master 205/65/16 @ 74.00 each but you can probably do better locally since I see shipping charges are way up from when I bought them.
You might be better off finding a tire you like with shipping included, there are places that ship many tires daily they get a way better price on shipping due to bulk sales.

205/70's are more expensive and they seem to be limited to all season tires, the 205/65 are smaller than the 205/70 but not by much.

I'm not paying a premium for that little difference in the height for tires that will only be on my Trax for 3 months a year.

If you are worried about the difference in height changing the speedometer then you can use a tool to calculate the difference in speed or you can buy a tuning tool that will correct the speedometer.

Here is a link to the tool to calculate the difference for 65 series tires https://tiresize.com/comparison/
