I got the LM-22's in the factory sizings to put on a spare set of the factory 18" rims.

Bob at Tiretrends (bob@tiretrends.com), an online Canadian tire outlet, may be able to get you the LM-22's before the snow hits.

Give him a shout.

Elmer.

Just went out for a drive on unsalted snow covered road, and am happy to report that I like these Dunlops M3 and the way the Z handles.

I also found that VDC/TCS activation is retarded to a point where I think it should have been in the first place. The Z now allow a little more wheel spin/slide before activating the VDC (due to the front and rear rotational difference of 2.7% as compare to stock 18"). I like it.

For detail, check this thread
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=47936

Which also leads me to consider running 4 same size tires in the summer to tune the handling of the car to my perference (less understeer and less aggressive VDC/TCS), well, we'll see when summer comes around.

I've just edited my previous post, so read above.

Basically, not as good as my Audi TT with Quattro and snow tires (but I think that's more all wheel drive than the tires), I have as much fun on the snow with the Z as I have with the Audi TT - still exploring the handling of the Z with these snow tires. So far so good, I am not disappointed.
