NW weather is always difficult to predict. Could be nothing or it could be slick. Area and height really changes things.

We've got snow showers predicted for Saturday, then more snot showers, er, I mean snow showers (can't type today) for Sunday with a high of... 25 degrees. Low of 18. At those temps, it won't be slush. If any vehicle moves this weekend, it'll be the Subaru, which already has the snow tires on it.

Ernie, you ever look at Pirelli Rosso tires for your G? I found a set of 4 on stock wheels for sale locally and did some research but nothing conclusive by users about how they liked them.

Has anyone here rocked a set of these? How did you like them? Says they are great for rain...

Had them for a while. Back when tirerack was blowing them out I got some 255/35/18s for $425 shipped! Man I wished I bought extras They're awesome tires for wet or dry traction. I just think they're a little overpriced ($200 a pop when they're not on clearance )

I put mine on last Saturday. OEM 350Z 18's with Dunlop Wintersport M3's. Debating whether I want bother with getting some 25-30mm spacers or just leave it as is.

I think you and the word "spacers" are almost as common as the phrase "trade for custom headlight work?"

Doesn't apply to Winter beater wheels with snow tires or track wheels with race compound tires.
