370Z Winter Driving

Sizzle · 03-12-2011, 12:06 AM

I'm across the river from you (OP) and I had no issues this winter. The rear end likes to swing out if you give it a little too much gas but if you lift off right away, it straightens right out again. Make sure you're ready for the cost of the snow tires though, I paid $1200 for mine at Belletire...it was a good investment for sure though.

In PA, the winter salt and cinders are so destructive on sports cars like the Z. Also, I don't want to expose my Z to the winter driving hazard of other less careful drivers sliding into it on these icy winter roads. It happens all the time here. Consider buying an affordable, older second car for the 3 or 4 winter months and keep your beautiful Z safe to enjoy during the other 8 or 9 months.
