I put my winter wheels and tires on. Michelin Alpin PA4 (245/45/18 square) on Ron's old base wheels:

So far so good. Looking forward to testing them in some snow.

dude, you're nutts wanting to drive your Z in the snow...

m4a1mustang · 11-24-2013, 06:55 PM

It shouldn't be a big deal at all. The 5.0 was fine and the S2000 was as well. The Z falls somewhere in between.

The most important thing is cold, dry weather performance... That's 95% of our winter driving.

You have luxury of being able to buy tires for every day of the week where as I must improvise.. hahaha...so I'll just have to slowwww down.

Tires are cheaper than repairs and medical bills.

What ever happened to Ron? It's like he completely disappeared. I feel like I remember him saying he was getting new wheels but not sure if I ever saw them.

m4a1mustang · 11-25-2013, 09:01 AM

Well... things didn't exactly go the way I planned them when I stole bought his wheels.

He did get his wheels and has showed up to a couple meets with them.

They look similar to the g35 wheels if I'm remembering correctly now. Good looking wheels. He did this back at the end of summer when I was leaving for vacation and what not. I also haven't been to a meet in a while, been a busy year overall.

eastwest2300 · 11-25-2013, 02:51 PM

The Maryland meets are ummmmmm..... slow, I'd call a few people before you make the drive.

b1adesofcha0s · 11-25-2013, 06:04 PM

I know I haven't been to a Columbia meet in a while. I've been busy with other stuff.

eastwest2300 · 11-25-2013, 07:50 PM

thats why the columbia meets have been slow, especially with the holidays, and football going on.
