LOL little boys afraid of the snow in their Z!!!!


WAH WAH WAH!!!!

 

The correct tires make the car handle quite well in the winter. Rear wheel drive is fine for winter; it seemed to work well from MANY decades (my parents, grand parents and great grand parents all did - IN THE NORTH EAST!)

I prefer Michelin Pilot Alpins. I run a narrower tire and travel on them over 100 miles daily from late October to sometime in April. I travel about 60 miles on the highway and they are great as well. Just remember that AWD, FWD and RWD all behave the same when braking.

 

PS - A sticky about winter tires and RWD should be made. Every year a few dozen posts are made asking if winters are necessary and the like.

 

Actually it proves his point not yours.

Any car can be driven in the snow. It requires EXPERIENCE to do it. When you live in Colorado for many years and are forced to drive a Ford Faremont Wagon, and a Datsun B210, you learn.

Tires always help especially if you have a car with performance tires. Any car including the Z can be driven in the snow if they had All Season tires and not just Summer tires.

 

Yeah your tires are what affect winter driving the most- especially in snow. Minimum all seasons (try Mich Pilot Sport AS- these are great in summer and winter) or go full winter tires.
