Winter Tires: Blizzak LM-32 Review
Tires: Blizzak LM-32
Rims: Sport Rays 19" Size: Stock - 245/40/19 F 275/35/19 R Decided to drive the Z through the winter and went with swapping my summer Michelin PSS for Blizzak LM-32's stock 19" size and I honestly cannot say enough about these tires - the only negative being the price. During dry weather under normal city driving I am hard pressed to tell the difference between these winters and my summer tires. They have incredible grip for a winter tire. Very impressed with the traction and they are quiet. Of course spirited driving would be a different story, but under regular driving these are impressive to say the least. With these tires you give up very little in terms of everyday performance. During light snow, and un-plowed city roads, again, impressive. I got a number of comments from people on the street remarking how I could be driving a Z in the snow but it really was not that hard with these tires - I couldn't believe it myself how good these are. I highly recommend these tires with the only caveat being the price, and only you can decide if worth it for a straight swap. For me it was. |

I second this review. They are probably the best winter tire out there.

As with any winter tire, don't drive aggressively. The compound is soft and will wear quickly with hard accel/braking and cornering. The Z sits pretty low (~4") so ground clearance becomes a concern.
