Where I live it rains a lot and winters are usually around 5C or less but no snow or very little. This is where all seasons work, with grip at lower temperatures than summer tires and some ability to deal with wet to icy conditions. In the warmer and all too short summer, they are again a compromise to summer tires but still offer decent grip.
I wouldn't bother with snow tires on the Z. If it actually does snow I'll be parking it. There's too many yahoos out there with all seasons waiting to run into me.
