Anyone really use the Z on a daily even through harsh conditions like ice, snow, sleet, freezing temps. I live on Long Island and it can get reallllly bad from about Dec to March.

Got a set of base wheels with BLizzaks for the winter. Works a treat. Yes, you can easily pop the rear end loose with power, but the sport package LSD is actually useful in winter driving. I'd NEVER use the stock sport tires in the winter. Even in colder weather the tires lose their stick as the tread gets hard. I nearly spun mine first year I owned it at 30 degrees F coming aggressively through a roundabout on dry pavement -- a turn I regularly take for granted. It's not just the tread pattern, but the tread compound that makes winter tires a necessity here in the Northeast USA.

Hope this helps...

I do! Here in Northern California I sometimes get sand in the car from the beach when I head over in November. It's a pain to clean that up when the temps drop below 70 degrees.

I will be using the Z as a daily driver in the winter.

I got new 18" wheels and Blizzak LM-60 tires to accommodate:

Yeah I heard, smh, not looking forward to it at all, another reason I decided that it was the appropriate time to garage the Z for the winter.
