I took off my stock tires and put on Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3. I live in the Seattle area where it usually rains a lot. Summer tires seem too slick in the rain, and definitely not good in any snow or low temperature situations. The mild climate up here is fine for something like an AS, but if you're somewhere that's going to get very snowy, you're going to want real snow tires or don't drive the Z in the snow. Rear wheel drive can cut loose on you and send you careening into the ditch. I'm anticipating having someone else pick me up for work and not drive the Z at all if it's snowy. For snow tires, I've always heard good things about Blizzak and even seen a few YouTube videos of driving a Z in the snow with Blizzak. Any performance demos I've look at show snow tires way superior to AS in the snow. Just depends on the climate where you live.
