Works for me, I was never really worried about the CTS-V, Corvette, and now the Lotus for reliability, but they are much newer cars than my DSM.

I agree with Murlo on the vette not being a year round vehicle. I had blizzaks on the Cadillac and that thing sucked to drive if there was snow on the road, I imagine the Vette would be worse. I stored the Cadillac the next winter and sold the snow tires.
Yep, 1st hand experience. Even with snow tires, with snow on the ground they suck. v8 torque isn't good for getting traction.
