Default G35 In Snow?

Did anyone have the G35 Coupe in the snow yet? Live in Maryland and was wondering what is was like.

It all depends on what tires you have - if you have snow tires on - no problems at all. All-season tires would be a little less secure in snow, but still manageable.

If you have the 6MT or 5AT coupe with the performance package 18's - look out!

Last year I went through a moderate Chicago winter with my coupe wearing 17" Pirelli 210 SnowSports with no problems whatsoever.

I wouldn't even think of trying that with my 18" Pilot Sports.

Had my coupe at the tail end of last winter, 18 in wheels & pilot sports (VERY DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW)

Put the coupe away for the winter and bought a new Subaru Outback Sport. No problems with the snow now.

Ya, I drove last winter on the Pilots. Never ran into any major problems. I only HAD to drive it a few times since I did have another car to use. I just took my time and TURNED OFF THE VDC!! That stuff can get you into trouble!! The ABS worked great on the car as well. If oyu need to drive in it, plan ahead like in any rear wheel drive car. They are very hard to get going, especially up a hill. If possible, just keep moving and you will be fine. Once you stop, it is difficult to get moving again, especially with the VDC cutting any sort of power you have!
