My Z spent the blizzard outside, no car cover. Got to try out my new Blizzack LM-22's, they are fantastic in the snow.

I have the LM-22's on my G. Drove like a champ in the snow. However, you still need VDC if you plan to drive in the snow. The LM-22's weren't good enough on their own to prevent some serious fishtailing.

The front end of the Z must be a plow in this storm. Even my G doesn't have enough clearance.

My Z sat outside with no cover as well ... I have some pics of it with at least 15 inches of snow covering it, but don't have a site to host

the REAL question is: 'is there enough beer in that fridge?'...

My Blizzaks suck on my Z. I don't understand. I guess we must have different expectations.

This is where I purchased my custom fit Wolf Automotive Car Cover for my Z ...I recommend the Block It Fabric-Noah or Evolution (if you're storing outdoors, as I do....protects from snow and rain).

I live in NJ.....Had the cover on since Friday night....took it off today ...car was nice and dry!

You don't need VDC to drive in the snow with the Blizzack's. If you are experiencing serious fishtailing it means you are overdriving the tires and don't really know what you are doing.

i took my z out last week before the 50 feet snowstorm. anyways, i tried to get my z up my driveway(witha little bit of old snow that wasn't shoveled up) and i couldn't! my driveway has a bit of incline but i tried it with traction on/off, 1st/2nd gears, going it up fast /slow. but i managed somehow.

what would you guys do?

oh yeah, i have the stock tires and sorry to steal this thread.
