I recently purchased a 2008 g35 x with 17,110 miles. I've loved these cars for a long time and I'm thrilled to finally purchase one. My question is, since the car is AWD do you think I can get buy with all season tires or should I buy some snow tires? I live in West Virginia and we get about 60 inches a year on the average. I appreciate your opinions. Thank you in advance! Rick

If you have the option, snow tires on an extra set of rims is the best combo!

With ANY car winter tires is a GREAT idea. Generally speaking a cheap winter tire is much better than a good allseason in the winter. Wile you have traction to get started AWD does not help you stopping.

I get about the same snowfall as you do per year. And i run Snows on my Subaru Forester and it makes a BIG difference, and i have a non-highperformance allseason on there for the summers.
