Summer tires were also clearly the best in dry conditions.
Its going to be costly but I will buy the Blizzaks for the winter,use my OEM tires for another year and purchase new summer tires in 2016.

Last winter I bought an Infinity QX4 for $3000 and sold it in the spring fro $2500. Kind of miss that Q it was a nice 4x4. So I only lost $500 and insurance + gas.

This would only work if you have somewhere to store the Z for the winter.
