Well unfortunely i have to use my 370z in edmonton through the winter. And since i couldnt find winter steelies...i was forced to spend $1500 on winter tires to fit the stock rims. I went 1/2 a day in that snow and decided it had to be done. Didnt matter how i drove, that car is defently not able to drive safely in the snow with stock tires (no ****..i know) but my cobalt did pretty good on stock tires in the snow. The morning i woke up and there was all that snow, it took me 5 mins to get out of my parking lot (approx. 40meters)...tires kept spinning like crazy...VDC would cut all my power and the car would want to stall. Go out of the parking lot and almost fish tailed into a school bus. Got to the gym for morning PT...got stuck there, had to get my friends to push out of the parking lot. I also find that its more dangerous to drive with the VDC on. When its on and im driving it will kick in, obviously when the tires spin. But the sudden change to the car causes my driving to go right out the damn door.

So $1500 for my 4 tires (front ones have to be orderd in though) Just with the rear tires it made one hell of a difference.


But yea, i feel your pain to 6MT. Also is the driver of the white 370z (believe it was touring) That was driving on 97ave that day, around noon hour
