For those in that live in areas that get snow and ice, what do you do? Keep it in the garage until spring? Use snow tires? Replace the stock tires with all season tires? Drive with the stock summer tires and hope for the best?
Mine is grounded unti April. I have an Altima coupe for winter. The Z is just too pretty for salt and cinders and not safe enough in the snow and ice, even with winter tires, due to low clearance and rear wheel drive and the danger of some idiot driving carelessly in the snow and ice and hitting my beatiful new car. Pick up a scuffed up old Civic somewhere for $500 bucks and rest easy and be safe.
