Snow tires aint gonna help in Cincinnati, we had 12 inches of snow, and of course the snow plows put the entire parking lots' worth of snow right in front of my Z. I just spent 2 hours digging the damn thing out. Fortunately, the old lady has the beater to chauffeur me around. Sometimes I have to laugh, when the beaters are going along their merry way and I am stuck in half an inch of slush.

technically from what i heard, adding weight in the rear does not help. i dunno. i did that last year and it seemed to help a touch but the car was still crap in any kind of snow. this year though, i gots some blizzacks and they have made all the difference. we just got nailed here in dayton, 18+ inches of the powder, and the Z got around just fine. only thing that stops me now is if the snow in the middle of the tire tracks is too much for the low clearance.
