All-season tires are a scam...and always have been. If you think the HTR+ is "good" in the snow than you haven't used a REAL snow tire...they are simply amazing compared to normal "all-seasons". Furthermore, the HTR+ is too much of a compromise tire for a Z in the summer, try to go around a corner hard and you'll have them howling and creating more understeer. My brother has a set of HTR+ tires on his 2001 Maxima and they seem to wear VERY quickly.

emporium today for snow tires (Blizzaks or Nokias) and the owner
strongly advised me not to get them, and just don't drive it in
ice/snow- I appreciated his honesty but now I'm considering
getting a beater for the winters (I also have a '99 Honda Accord
that my wife uses).

I should have sent a little NC sunshine with her huh!
