Under 50 degrees I only drive on summer tires to run the Z, and only on dry roads. At temps below freezing I can spin the rears in 4th gear at 40 miles an hour on dry roads. But of course, the Z is such a torque monster that shouldn't be a surprise.

My experience with performance all seasons has only been marginally better.
