Part 1: Video
35-40 mph on fresh snow, moderate curves, with intentional wheel spin to turn into entrance ![]() (I'm using YouTube's video stabilization. If it's crappy let me know and I'll turn it off.) Part 2: Winter set-up description Running 225/50R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 mounted on black 18x8 Sport Edition A7 winter wheels, all ordered from Alex @ TireRack. (19" RAYS are for summer). I got a square setup (all the same size) so they can be rotated. The rears are sunken in quite a bit with no spacers. I feel like it helps keep the rear fenders cleaner ![]() Part 3: A picture of the set-up This is how it looks with this winter set on: ![]() Part 4: Thoughts I had good expectations going into this with all the positive comments on Blizzaks from people here in the Z forums. The other [cheaper] option for tire was the Michelin X-Ice 2 or something. Reviews basically told me it was best for icy roads, Blizzaks being better in the snow, so that's why I went with Blizzaks for my geographical location. They perform very nicely! I rarely get wheel spin - usually only when I really want it or expect it. Keep the VDC on, though, because it will prevent any unexpected spinouts, probably. (no VDC debates here, please. Most of us aren't good enough to do better than VDC. HEY, I said no VDC debates!) The tire tread mark is deep and nice - and you can tell it's doing a good job of rolling over the snow instead of sledding through it. This morning... stupid, fat glove in the way. ![]() ![]() ![]() Be careful out there! Don't let anyone give you crap for driving this car in the winter if you're properly set up for it. Some guy in a Jeep didn't come in to the office today, but I did.
