Snow driving experience with my 370z (AK370Z)(w/blizzaks TR Motorsport C2 ) w/video

My Z will probably never see snow If I lived in those condition my sports car of choice would probably be WRX STI, or maybe I would just have both,

My Z will probably never see snow If I lived in those condition my sports car of choice would probably be WRX STI, or maybe I would just have both, and store the Z away in the winter I will say though, It has been raining here in Cali a lot lately, the Hankook Ventus V12 tires are excellent in wet conditions, probably not for snow though, but virtually no hydroplaning or sliding out compared to the Nitto NT55 on my Mini and the stock Bridgestones.

Great tires, they always worked good on the 350 as well.

Just make sure to switch back to your other tires in time, as they wear down real fast when the weather warms up

You guys have been getting our snow for a change, normally it's the North that gets hammered.

I know, right? It figures, right as I buy a RWD car...

I was in the market for a STi too!

Oh well, I'll cry less when spring comes.

Also any thought on the lm-60 vs lm-25s? and did you use the 225 size all the way around? Thanks.
