I was unable to find the answer by doing a search, so here goes:

Are these tires good in the snow? I know they would not be as good as true snow tire (i.e. Blizzaks), but how do they compare?

I want to replace my stock tires for the next winter season (my Z comes in in April), but I only want to buy 1 set of tires, not 2. So I either get A/S's right away, or stick with the stocks and swap them out for Blizzaks in the winter. I would really prefer to go the A/S route, but my concern obviously is grip in snow/icy/slushy conditions.

Thanks.

 

I would personally recommend getting the winter tires as opposed to the A/S. YOu will have MUCH better grip with the winter tires and the summer tires you have (though not the best), should grip better than an A/S in the summer. YOur tires will also last much longer since you are only going ot be using them half of the time.
