First Winter for the 370z

spearfish25 · 01-07-2010, 02:18 PM

I'm driving my Z in the snow with some winter rims and Blizzaks. So far it handles great. Sure someone else may hit me, but at least I'm secure with front and side airbags. We're getting 10-13 inches today. Made it to work without any issues. Hoping for the same back home.

My truck laughs at your 10-13 inches, and requests 10-13 more.

That said, safe drive home man. I may disagree with you on some things, but the last thing I want is harm!

LOL. At least we agree with each other for 9 months of the year! ...and when I move to Florida in 3 years, we'll be in 100% agreement.

I TRIED to drive mine in the snow today. I made it about a half mile, now it's sitting in a driveway (not mine) and I rented a Ford Focus. Snow tires and wheels on the way. I was blown away how bad the sport tires are in the snow. Zero traction. I only had one problem in my 350 in the three years that I had it, but I had all-season tires and of course higher profile tire.
Come on Blizzaks!

You have NO idea how much better this makes me feel. I've basically been having the old internal freaking out all day over not being able to get my car to move. We don't get that much snow here, but our road crews bite the biggest one. They were our for two days spreading brine on the roads before the snow came and I think they were inside all day today watching soap operas. They sure weren't clearing the roads.

It's VERY VERY dangerous to drive this car in snow with stock tires. Please get yourself a Set of Winter rims/tires if you're going to drive this car in snow. Here's my thread

My Winter Rims/Tires Setup: TRMotorsport C2 + Blizzak LM-25 w/TPMS w/pics (AK370Z)

Tirerack has a great deal on Winter rims/tires. Please use the following link to visit their site and buy the rims and tires. This will help keep The370Z online.
