Z in the rain and snow

Rain is fine as long as you dont get crazy, but forget snow right now.

If it snows here, we all have WAY more to worry about. 8-).

That said, I know people in Chicago (old home) that have easily tamed M3's with good winter tires and a careful right foot.

Hey! Are you in San Juan? I was down there in the beginning of June and saw a red 370Z parked right near the beach by the Mariott and La Concha hotels. Any chance it was yours?

I have a 370Z in Chicago and bought a set of winter tires to fit the 19" sport rims. We'll see how it goes, but it will be my daily driver all winter as well. In rain, I've had zero problems. You can break it loose more easily with heavy throttle, but driving normally I've had no problems at all with handling or grip. At this point, rain is definitely a non-issue. Snow is yet to be decided with the snow tires.

No. I live in Dorado (20 min to the west). I don't park my Z in San Juan. Rims tend to disappear in there.
