Default Everyone ready for winter?

Luckily, we've only had a few dustings so far, and hopefully it will stay that way. I have my winter wheels/tires on just in case. Really wanted a 2nd car, but I'd rather get a house.

Stay safe everyone

I'm all set. Got my beater and just put on my winter wheels on the Z. The previous owner curbed the **** out of the rims so I fixed them and decided to try white wheels. I love them!

This is my second season with the snow tires and my first season with the Sentra. It better snow dammit! I buy snow tires and it doesn't snow. If I bought a funeral home nobody would die!

Last year was my first season with snow tires and I was pissed that it didn't snow for the most, but the days it did I was thankful for buying them. This year I have a longer commute than last year (30 minutes vs 5 minutes) so I'm hoping for no snow

Yesterday was tough. Not so much for my Z, but having to deal with everyone. I'd be in the perfect gear/rpm and people are slamming on brakes and making me change.

Worst is when I had to stop half way on a hill and a car decided to stop 3 inches from my rear.

20mm front, 25mm rear. Thanks for the compliment.

They were awesome in the snow. Of course its about being in the right gear but I felt I was in control the entire time. Snow tires FTW.

I later drove my Sentra and it was also a beast in the snow. Then again I can be less worried about it while driving in the snow since its a beater.

I have used blizzaks in the past. Really liked them. Had rear wheel drive mb that was a nightmare in the winter. The blizzaks made a huge difference.

Yeah looks clean for sure.. which spacers? Drop? I still have my Enkei's sitting out in the cold w/stock rims in garage. I haven't installed due to looking ridiculous w/out spacers(scared)

They are Z1 bolton spacers. No drop I'm on the stock suspension. I think that the Z should have looked like this stock, regarding me having to put spacers to make it look like that.
