There's so much win in this response! :)

Uhm ... Yeah. Mind forum rules regarding illegal activity please.

a set of good snow tires, I mean really good one, VDC on unless you are in an empty parking lot.

I used to drive a 350z all year around, no problem except sometimes start the car at uphill.

one time I was driving on HWY during a snowstorm, manage to hit 90km/h no problem, VDC saved me from black ice couple times.

overall, it's pretty good. :icon17:

I guess the biggest concern with RWD is hitting black ice.
Im not sure if the VDC would save you on that???
I hit an oil patch in the summer and I had zero traction what so ever. VDC did not help me at all..... or did I have it off:shakes head::driving:

Mr.Luciano13, did you carefully read my post...?? :icon17:


it saved me twice :icon17:


one time I was going off a ramp and saw 2 cars had collided already and all the sudden my car started to slide toward the pile... hit the brake, ABS kicked-in, no help then VDC kick-in cos I can hear different braking noise from different corners, eventually I managed to swirl the car thus avoid crashing into the pile.


2nd time I was on the HWY in a snow-storm, change to the right lane then the car started to fishtail then I realize the whole lane is black-iced. hold on to the wheel and keep my foot steady on the gas, no lift no press. VDC light came on and the Z started to straighten out itself.


2 times, from my own experience. :tiphat:

and because of that, I trust VDC.




***note: I am not saying VDC can save you/car from ANY situation, but at least, it works. Still, drive responsibly. :tiphat:

This is why I don't drive my Z during the winter....

Awesome video MJB:tup:
I feel for the 370z and i guess the 350z:roflpuke2:

:tiphat:

"Not the 370! ah!" Three inches of snow and the whole city shuts down..LOL!

I got a set of LM 32 blizzack tires on a set of 18inch black a7sport rim square set up from tire rack(shout out to forum member KFULL for the recommendation and your response to my questions):tiphat:. These tires are great! I was scared as hell during the first real storm we got here in NY (6inches) but as soon as i pulled out of my parking spot these tires put my fears to rest! I was cutting through packed snow without a issue. I cant believe how well these tires perform, by far the best mod on my z!:happydance::driving::happydance::tiphat:

I need a good set of winter tires, havent had any issues on clean roads lately (got my car two weeks ago), and have been driving around on stock tires too. But as soon as a little snow comes through, im grounded.

No diff than FWD. Ice yields zero traction no matter the drive system.

The city was totally unprepared for the event. Most were not on winter tires which didnt help a thing. If it snowed or iced in ATL when I lived there I didnt leave the house.

Not only that you can tell people who lived there have never driven on snow before. Most of the videos i have seen people where tailgating and driving way to fast on completely unsalted roads.

^^ i don't want to sound like a prick, but how stupid do you really have to be to not know what snow and ice is?????? After the first car slides without stopping, and the car behind him does the same while smashing into the first car......wouldn't that be enough to say" maybe i shouldn't drive my car right in the snow and ice:roflpuke2:

Hahaha and nobody could call the cops to block off the road or grab some rock salt?!

I'm sure most people there had summer tires. I never had any issues up in Upstate NY and we've got hill much bigger than those, but we were smart enough to drive with snow tires.

I am running the same tire on 19" OEM Rays and having the same experience. What a great cold weather snow tire without giving up your ride or handling. They are much better than the Hancook Snow Bears I have ran recently, especially in the road noise and handling area.

SterlingDriver :iagree:

blizzaks kicksarse. :tup:

You vastly underestimate the stupidity human beings are capable of.

One of my favorite quotes from Carlin, might not be dead on but it gets the point across: "Think of how stupid the average human being is, now realize, half the population is even dumber than that!" :icon17:

Snowboarding was awesome ... we got 32" of snow on the weekend...

driving lol - no Z's out here...

Here's a New Brunswick pic from today...

Didn't your city shutdown after a storm that Florida gets at least 3-5 times a year? ;) Our city simply isn't prepared for snow/ice. We get a bad storm once every 3 to 5 years.

Nah the Police just caused more problems honestly. I've heard many Police horror stories. At one point, they only responded to accidents of 3 or more cars. We also use sand mostly.

Now that's what i call FN snow:roflpuke2:

I would have done the same but the potholes in NY are no joke during the winter time. Some streets have craters that are unavoidable, so i decided to play it safe and get my winter tires on cheaper rims to avoid rim repair in April. I would love to see pictures if you can.:tup::driving::tup:

I Know that is a fact now!:tup::driving::tup:

Thank god that is not Atlanta! Could turn in to Armageddon day!:eek: (Just joking!) :tiphat:

NY never shuts down. It could be a 12inch blizzard and schools will remain open..We had one last week LOL!:hello::tiphat::hello:

I live in michigan and drive my car 140 miles round trip each day...if you know what your doing it performs fine just stick some good snows on it and it trucks through

Let me see what I can do in the next day.

Sterling

Here you go...
 

Sorry for the dirty car, we are having a wintery weekend...

Sterling

Woo im not the only Z owner in michigan! So now there at least 2 Zs in the metro detroit area.
Also I drive 80 miles everyday regardless of snow, she's a champ

"How does the 370z perform in winter weather?"



......poorly

:iagree:

Traded my 2011 for a 2014. Tried to drive it to the dealer, got about 50 yards up our snow packed road and it just wouldn't go any farther. Traction control chattering like crazy. I had to install the tow hook and pull it back home with my truck. Made the Z exchange with the dealer's flatbed auto hauler.

I don't know about Blizzaks, but Potenzas are a no-go for sure.

You actually tried to drive through snow with summer tires? Lol

Only needed to go about 200 yards to avoid a flatbed, one-time deal, but yeah....it was comical.

Summer tires in snow? You can't blame the car

I don't.

Tires. Not car.

Potenzas on those cars from the factory are worthless except on clean dry pavement over 50*f. In the rain they are deathtraps. If I ever buy another car with them the rubber will be left at the dealer for credit and replaced with a good tire like the pss.

According to the general run of comments elsewhere around the web, the PSS appears to be a very good summer tire, and pretty cost-efficient. Your comparison comments, however, appear to be rather overstated.
