From everything I've read they are very good in deeper snow and on ice compared to other snow tires. They are in the "studless ice & snow" category so they give up dry road handling over the "performance winter" tire for better snow and ice traction. In Minnesota I'm sure that's a good thing.

They are only T rated (118mph) and have soft sidewalls so I probably wouldn't want to take them anywhere beyond highway speeds otherwise you'll probably squirm around a bit. Good luck with them and enjoy driving your Z year-round! I just had my winter wheels and tires installed on my Mustang and am very pleased with the snow performance!
