I paid a tow truck $25 to get the G35c out. Another $25 ticket for parking in a no parking zone/snow emergency road while driving to get water/salt to put in the trunk. I have to called out because i can't get my car out of the road in time for work.
I'll need to change the tires to my 300z 16" winter BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK MZ-03 tires.
I wonder from 18" to 16" would the car feel any different.
Also the tires are BF g-Force™ T/A® KDW which stated "Exceptional dry and wet traction and handling with low noise."
I learn my lesson and i'll put on my winter tires this season.
I can feel that G35c does not have traction like my 300z or maybe i am driving summer tires.

Same BF tires. I will try to move her in a bit. I don't really have to go anywhere today. It never really snows in philly anymore, so I think snow tires are a waste; plus there are cabs and trains. Anyway, the sun is out and the other cars on the road are making the roads driveable again.

I don't think Philly has plowed any streets. None of the streets in my neighborhood were plowed this morning. Downtown, nothing including Market Street were plowed when I went to get lunch.

I did not try the 16" on my g35c yet but the brakes on the 300zTT are almost big as the G35c so I assume it would fit.

But yeah, I agree, it kinda sucks in the snow, but I knew that going in.
