Be glad you have the winter tires on! In that same weather last week, dry but freezing, grip of the summer tires is gone. I did expect this to some extent but grip dropped of a lot more then I expected. I was hoping to be able to use the Z on summer tires on nice, dry winter days but that's not going to work. So I'll be switching to winter tires sooner rather then later.

And I'll probably follow your and AK's advice on the wheel and tire combo or look for some base wheels for sale. Thanks Spear and AK for your feedback!
