Some of you guys act like the Z is a ferrari... its 30k NISSAN people. Mine has seen all weather including 3 sh!tty Cleveland winters. The tire makes the entire difference between driveable and undriveable in snow. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of 17" OEM wheels and snow tires... you will have zero problems except for very heavy snow (6+ inches on the ground where the Z's ground clearance comes into play). Sure we would probably all love to have another car, but it's more than capable like any other RWD.

I hear that the 2008-09 snow is a whole new formula... its snow 2.0... It's been upgraded to include rwd sports cars so we can all drive with summer tires. The snow will be warmer then snow 1.0 so warm weather performance tires will work exactly the way they do on dry roads in July. You gotta love progress.

I was drinking Gatorade when I read this, and I laughed so hard and so suddenly that it came out my nose. Thank you very much.

+1 and the topic has been covered a THOUSAND TIMES. The only naysayers are people who have no experience driving in the snow but like to put spout off their opinion and the idiots who drive in the snow on summer tires.
