First of all I'm not sure if this is the appropriate sub-forum for this thread, so mods please move it if that's the case.

My situation is that I have my set of summer wheels/tires (19"), then I have my set of non-OEM winter wheels/tires (17"), and then I have my set of OEM wheels/tires (18") that came with the Z. Ideally I would like to eliminate the 17" winter setup (i.e. sell to a lucky forum member), get rid of the OEM tires and buy 18" winter tires to put on my OEM wheels.

So then I am looking down the road, if I ever trade this car in, I would trade it in with the OEM wheels on it which would have winter tires. Does anyone have experience trading in a 350Z or G35 or other sports car with winter tires on it, and if so did the dealer notice, and if so was your trade-in value dinged accordingly?

 

I have traded vehicles, and the sales person priced the trade in without looking at it. There is so much room in trade in prices that tires matter little if any.

 

When you trade your vehicle, most of sales person doesn't look at much of car condition, they only care about sell new vehicle to you.

 

I have traded cars with winter tires before it was not a problem. They asked do you have the all seasons? I said nope, they said ok. That was the end of it.
