Do you drive your G year round? What kind of tires do you use? How is it in the snow? I dont want to be caught off guard especially since there is a snowstorm coming tonight and tommorow.

Mine is stored for the winter. I'm sure you might find some snow wheels/tires somewhere from local guys...look on chicagoz.com if you haven't already. Someone on jgtca.com is selling 17's blizzaks...just need wheels =)

WOW! it is crazy over here! They still expect 6-9 inches by 9 am. Stupid chicago public schools won't even close. Even the weatherman called them crazy. I wasn't going to even try taking my G coupe out cuz with the snow that high and my car so low, im not getting very far. Im not even planning on putting winter tires on =). I was going to take my parents MDX but just decided not to go at all.

Yeah, I'm driving my G all year round sadly. I switched tires/rims. I have 17" TSW Nagaro rims with Dunlop tires. I'm still scared to drive it right now in the snow. Glad my school is closed for the whole day, whew. Where does everyone live in Chicago? I live by Riis Park.
