for all you everyday z drivers just wanted to know if yall wanted to share your experiances with the z and the snow. here in ohio its not to bad so i cant complain, but let me know what yall got!

 

mines parked..

 

Took it slow today here in KY. Bad test though because ice ain't the same as snow. Currently debating spending $800 on snow tires or a beater car.

 

yeah jpm i would go with the snow tires, you get them you'll be golden. i had a 95 skyline slap some snow tires on and the 240 inchs we get here a year in japan are nothing. you get the snow tires you'll be alright

 

hmmm, im just fine in the snow. I drove through my work's unplowed parkinglot with about 10 in of snow in it and just drove happily through it.








i have snow tires tho too

 

Bout 2-3 inches recently in Wisconsin. Freaking awesome with snow tires.

 

i dont have snow tires. it only snowed 2 inches here. it wasnt to bad but if there was a little pyle no traction. not to bad though. take the tcs off though, forget about it. fun though.

 

There are more than 500 “snow” posts. Its an important subject, but has been discussed to death recently.

 

im sorry davidv i havent seen that many snow post, maybe 5 or 6 but there all different

 

JMO but i much rather get a beater for the winter.. reason is that i dont trust the people around me, im not worried about the z touching the snow and all that.. but other people around is what i dont like.



i much rather some run into me in a beater than someone run into me in the z. some people just cant drive on snow

 

Get a beater, the winter is brutal on the Z. The car is really low so your going to be running over big ice chunks and stuff getting into driveways or parking lots. Your interior gets salt in it and mud/dirt from your shoes. Not to mention the paint will get all messed up from salt/rock chips. I dunno i guess snow tires are good but if u can afford it, i would get a beater.

spun off the highway and I am now getting a new bumper put on after slamming it into the runoff on the side of the highway. I bought a beater for 800$ to drive during the winter.

put it away.

 

when it hits "icy" temp, you should park your z for good. BUT, make sure to bring the babe to an empty parking lot when a STORM comes along

 

1999 Ford Escort. The Z is in the garage with a cover and a bottle of "Sta-Bil" in the tank. ETA for driving: MAR/06, they don't call it "March Madness" for nothing.

i had my z in th snow for 15 minits couldnt move at all turned the vdc off and alll the tires did was spin took my z off the road till spring

 

All-season tires (Kumho Ecsta ASX), driven in the rain and now snow.

Other than the fact that we get snow on top of ice or slush, which pretty much makes driving anything -- even a 4x4 -- an exercise in driving skills, the Z does very well.

 

I have a picture I took today for all of you Z owners who are snowbound.

 

im in OK and we only got maybe an inch or two so not too bad...but um...kinda icy....makes me nervous
