I'll probably still drive my Z in the winter, but dont want to chance it in the snow. Looking to get a beater.... What are you guys doing?

 

Driving in the snow on stock tires......carefully.

 

My Baby Z has been subject to some rain in the past few months, but that's as far as it goes.

I lookingto buy some Blizzak tires and driving it all year round. The stock tires will be downright dangerous in the snow. I don't have the luxury of a true beater. The Z is my weekend beauty and daily driven beater all in one.

 

I plan on driving my Z through out the winter using stock tires. Don't anticipate too many issues as WE HAVE NO SNOW here in AZ!

I'll think of you guys while I'm out riding my motorcycle this Dec/Jan in my t-shirt and shorts.

 

I too have no beater so I'll have to drive it snow or not. I'm probably gonna at least switch to stock wheels, maybe get winter tires also.

 

Do exactly what I did last year...

DRIVE IT!

 

winter here in socal: temperature in the mild 60's and 70's. maybe dip into the 50's now and then. im not too worried

 

I will drive my SUV as usual

 

WINTER? whats that? ... hehe

 

Throw the Blizzaks back on. Done.

 

I will be driving my "SUV" like I did last year. SUV pictured below!!

 

And that's why I live in San Diego. After having a salt-colored 240 for many, many years, I've decided I had enough!

 

Just got brand new tires on my Maxima for the winter ahead, the Z will be enjoying the garage alot. Hopefully we won't get alot of snow and She can come out and play every so often

 

I'm throwing on some LM-22's, driving REALLY REALLY slow, and praying to god.

 

As i have no money to buy a beater cause all my MONEY has gone to mods, i will be driving my B%^ch in the snow and all, have had many rearwheel cars and i can pretty much handle the bad weather ill send pics when they come other then that the BODY KIT IS GOIND TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL SPRING!!!!

 

I ordered my Z for the commute to work (now about 1 hr) and as a daily driver. I plan on driving it all year (here in CT) but I will be keeping my Durango for snowy days and hauling stuff.

I have done high torque rwd cars in the snow for years (mostly firebirds and camaros) and it is certainly possible with good snow tires. I used to put on 4 studded snows But it is a NICE luxury to have a 4WD (or even FWD) for snow. And once you have a second car you can use it for dirty/messy/big stuff to.

Even if my Z had 4WD I would be anxious to keep it away from snow, salt, and people who can't drive in the snow. It is amazing how much salt CT drops for every snow fall these days. I remember when salt was for ice only.

 

Only about 3-5 times a year do I worry about it. When that happens I just drive slower then everyone else. It's kind of fun seeing the traction control light come on 100 times on a 5 mile trip!
What I love is all these people who spend 40K on a 4wd and then only get good use out of it 3-5 times a year. What is even more funny is when they are the first ones in the ditch.

 

Dallas it will be driven we get a little Ice/Snow here, thats why we still have a 89 Maxima in great condition that we carpoool in on bad weather days. The 03 Max and 350 remain in the garage those days!

 

I will most likely take it snowboarding with me.
