it sucked ******* coming home from work. Bel Air/95s/895s/97s was fine until i got to rt.3/301.......that **** sucked. Nothing was plowed, no salt, i was driving in the middle of 2 lanes cuz i couldn't see the damn white lines! Dropped it in third and instantly redlined 
Back roads were nice.

Just shoveled 2-3 inches. Lots more expected today. I want to take the Z to an empty parking lot and have some fun though 
Never really tested my all season "high-performance" tires.

I'm so happy I bought a truck in October!! I also grew up in Central NY - so this storm isn't too bad to get around in. But I just passed about 4 cars on Connecticut Ave. with drivers who are thinking "my salesman lied to me when he said I'd be ok with "all-season" tires!! Dammit!!!"

Tested out my Pilot Sports yesterday: it cut through the snow like butter. Gf and I were the only fools out at 4am driftin. Ppl looked at us as if we were completely nuts. I thought THEY were the ones that were nuts driving at 4am. WTH are people out doing at 4am anyways in the middle of a snow storm?!!

asingh- Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is the $hit! I saw several bimmers driving around at 3am, even a G35, i didn't stop to ask them what tires they were running but I was zooming by them @ 50mph over 6 inches of snow while everyone else was crawling at 20mph. Run Flats = crappy handling, period. I would rec the Pilot Sports, Continental DWS, or Bridgestone (forgot the numbers) but they're all listed under "Extreme High Performance All-Season." A little pricey, but totally worth it. Handling is absolutely amazing.
