Plus like you said it's easily $1,000 for snow tires on the Z, you're already half way to a beater that fixes the other half of the snow equation; other drivers! No matter how good the Z does in snow the Seattle drivers can't handle it and are going to be doing stupid things like the last bad year lol.
