Lets get a winter meet up in here. Somewhere in Mississauga or Brampton
A winter meet would be great, but we need to do something;
....too damn cold to hang around a parking lot.

I love doing the same thing Paul. One time a Jeep was having trouble getting up an icy hill. We were almost stopped so I pulled out and blasted up the hill past him. The look on his face was priceless
What snows are you running on your G? Cuz I've got Blizzaks and I'm not liking them. Ain't worth a **** on a snowy hill. I got stuck last Friday. I eventually made it up but it took a while.

lol i have blizzaks, they have been used for 2 seasons and i have no problems. but i have them on 16" rims so it might be a little difference if you are running it on bigger rims
Oh, well...16" will NOT fit on my car. The smallest I can use is 18" cuz of the size of my front brakes.

GEE35X has WS60s on 17s (purely a snow/ice tire and the best Blizzak at this time).Originally Posted by civeng88

I have Blizzak LM22 performance winter tires on 17s, three years old but this is only the second time used. The new ones out now are model LM25.
- Note that we also have AWD G35Xs.

FWIW, I'd recommend swapping the salt for sand.Originally Posted by BurntRenolds
40kg salt bag in the trunk makes the difference in my car...
...if the salt leaks at all & gets down into crevices, it'll lead to corrosion.

+1 on that, if the bag happens to split or tear, good luck keeping the rust bunnies out of your trunk Originally Posted by InTgr8r

WTH, do you guys believe the weather. 8 degrees and raining. Well, I jumped out of bed and hurridlly got an appointment to get my winter ( Hankook ) shoes on. 
Got them balanced as well. So .... if the weather is reasonable I can/will bring my G out. That includes a winter meet if we aren't standing out in some parking lot. A short cruse and a bite might suffice.
