I think its made for deep snow O_O lol

i feel ya on that, i dont really like to drive the z now with the snow tires on, it just seems like any sec it will loose grip and spin or something.

what she looks like for the winter

I think maybe because I didn't put any weights in the back o_O, since the back has no weight what so ever. I should put 200 lbs in the back to put some grip on the tires O_O

I always thought the LM-60 were awesome snow tires & rain too! Firestone suggest using front & rear snow tires.....not just the rears.

i have lm-25 on the front 225-18's and lm-60s on the rear 245-18's but it seemed really squirreley while driving in the rain.

I'm back and forth between Columbus and Tipp City (north of Dayton). I wish I saw more Z's, especially 370's!

erkthejerk73 12-12-2011 02:47 PM

looks nice empire!

Today is a sad day; I decided to warehouse the Z and I won't be driving it until spring time. But it will allow me to get vinyl on the roof, have the brakes powder coated, install a Gen 3 and some spacers.

More power to the Z drivers rocking snow shoes this season.

Is that easton by any chance :D lol, and oh... for the weights erk, I'm going to try it today, since there's hardly anything in the back, I'm thinking about putting 50lbs in the back to actually push the tires down to get some traction... I have both for the front and back blizzaks lm-60

erkthejerk73 12-18-2011 05:03 PM

im going to be adding some weight back there too with a STS turbo kit... :)

Black Z in Middleburg Hts
 
Im up for a meet sometimes next year. I feel lonely but I like that. Seen a cute women in a blue 350 in Middleburg Hts and a Black 350 came up to me on I-90 on a Saturday in the Summer then sped away with a thumbs up. That was nice. :shakes head:

Hey everyone. I'll be coming back to the Cleveland area on leave from Ft. Bragg. I know I shouldn't be driving the Z around during the snow season but I'm going to risk driving her. I checked the weather and it looks like their is a slight chance of snow while I'll be home. Is any meets or get together's happening from 22 DEC-1 Jan? Everyone probably put their car away for the winter. haha
