I know a lot of you don't head over to the NICO General Chat section but there is a topic about what you drive on the winter. Anyway, it got me thinking that I can't be three only one here that drives their Z in the snow...

...so let's see some pics! :)

Here's mine after our latest bout of snow from last week...

...and the after-effects of the melt sprinkled on the roads once I could finally climb up the driveway and get into the garage. I like to call this colour "polar vortex white."

Living in New Mexico the weather is always dry
so I was suprised to see this after work one day.

this was before I installed a set of Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires.
Driving home 18 miles on 2" snow packed roads was a real white knuckle express.
Traded her in on a 370 Nismo w/ summer tires sheesh!! good thing I live 3 blocks from work now.

i actually cant, ohio dosnt care what you do to your car, here the safety checks are a pain in the a**, just got to be a bigger pain since they now take pics of your car, and are currently trying to pass a law making aftermarket exhausts illegal.

Would be nice to know how small of a wheel I can get away with on a 370Z with akebonos so I could have a winter set for the south winters (the days where it's bad, the whole city shuts down so there's not driving, but during the cold the Potenza RE050s turn into hockey pucks). I would like to have a set of square 18s or something to drive around in winter. (even the base model wheels to get them cheap).

I've often wondered the same thing with the Brembos o on the 350Z. Figure if I ever do need true snow tires I'll have to buy someplace other than Tire Rack, I want some Hakkapeliittas and The Rack doesn't carry Nokian.

brembos you can fit 17s in all 4 corners and limited 16s in the rear z32 and fd rx7's are what alot of people use. not sure on the akebono for the smallest but 18s clear the front and easily in the rear so might be certain 17s that fit the rear.
