Hey i just ordered my Z and since i live in NJ i'm getting worried bout snow season already! I wanted to know which snow tires are best for dry packed snow (the good stuff we get here), or if it matters! I heard blizzacks are good. Links to manufactures website would be nice, or good vendors if its allowed on this forum!
Thanks guys!
HEHE I HAVE TO EDIT MY AVATAR AND ADD MY CAR IN :-D

 

I have a set of Michelin Alpines that I had on my IS300 for the past 3 Buffalo Winters...They work really well and I think that they will work equally well on my Z.

 

I plan on ordering the LM-22s from TireRack (widely recommended on the board) and having them mounted on the rims I have now rather than buying new ones. There are a lot of options, though from what I have been able to gleen, if you get a ton of snow and live with packed snow on roads at all, the WS-50s are a better choice. Down here in VA we dont get much of that so I'm going with the LM-22s.

You definitely compromise dry weather performance with the WS50s but they are even better than the LM22s if you have a lot of snow. I've got 5 months of snow... so I went with the WS50s.

Do a search for snow tires... there's a whack of opinions out there.

 

Buy a beater! I bought a 1990 Nissan Sentra 73000 miles for $700. Insurance is about $27 a month. Keep the Z in the garage

 

LM22's.. sounds good in NJ... It snows ever so often but when it does it SNOWS. But at most it snows 3-4 months, sometimes never so those will do. Time to start saving.

EDIT: can't buy a beater! We have 5 cars in a suburb that only allows 3! That'd be 6 cars! ahh!
