It was raining/snowing today and my Blizzaks were very solid. Also, when I put on tire from now on I will always put on a complete, new set. Sometimes the fronts will last twice as long as the rears, but to me that is dangerous in the Z. |
I've driven plenty of "sports cars" in the rain and have never run into this problem. To me, it is ALL about the condition of the tires and not the vehicle itself. If there are no grooves to displace the water, the tires are actually floating on top. This is a very valuable lesson learned.
I am very anal about my tires, so at the first sign of low treads, they will be replaced.
OP, glad you are OK and like others have said, the car can be fixed. Hope to see you a Z-Days.
