The Z's stock setup is currently on the car, and when there is even a bit of snow on the ground there is no way in hell I'd dare drive it. Even when the Super Rozza's and aftermarket Pilot "A/S" (All Season? My *SS!) are on the car, the Z is an accident waiting to happen if I were to attempt to drive in the snow, or even attempting to get on my driveway.

I was, however, driving the Z on the weekend when it was somewhat warm and the roads were dry, and when stopped at a light I noticed what I thought to be a G35 coupe sitting right behind me. It turned out to be a G37 coupe, and the G37 and its 330 hp blew right by me when it had an opportunity to change lanes and pass. The look of the G37 is trying to grow on me, although I'm still craving a 335.

Sorry for going off topic...the answer is yes, I have the summers on the car, but there's no way I'm driving it when it snows! I'll use the other ride for a safer commute.

 

My summer wheels are still in my basement. Tires Zainoed and rims Wheelwaxed ready to go.

 

It is snowing outside and today I had to clear my windshield with my winter jacket sleeve as I put my brush away . The way this winter (yes winter) is going; I think I will be on my winter tires all year long; haha.

 

Very nice summer setup; did you apply wheel wax to the lip as well?

 

Thanks, I put the Wheelwax on all of the rim, inside and outside. They are so easy to keep clean that way.

 

Good to hear; wasn't sure the chrome parts were safe to apply wax. Brake dust just probably wipes off that way.

 

It really seems to repel the brake dust. I found this on my 05 G35 that used to dust up the rims pretty bad. The Wheelwax really seemed to help.

I really reccomend Wheelwax and a few of my friends have said Poorboys Wheel Sealant is equally as good.

 

That is one heckuva set of clean wheels and rubber! Well done!!!

 

Thanks Joel, You said you had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires also. I have them on my summers since I wanted something that performed well in the cooler transition period in Spring and Fall. I have not used them for snow.
So you mentioned they weren't good in snow. I was curious, is that true, they aren't much good in snow, even though mine hopefully will never see snow ( don't want salt from the roads on my summer wheels).
Thanks

 

Mine is still parked for the winter, hopefully get to take her out this weekend.

 

Had my summers on about 2 weeks ago now.

 

I wouldn't even dream of putting my summers on this early......especially after the winter we've had. Even if we don't get any more snow (which is unlikely) and the roads remain bare, the temps are still too cold for summers yet.

 

We've been very lucky this year, not much snow to speak of, the -40 to -50 days well we still had them.

 

Nice.

 

i still need to order some summers, but yeah, nowhere near time to put them on though...

maybe may...
