G35 Coupe during winter time?

1. Go to carwash bay
2. Spray water under car
3. clean car
4. go home
Now, repeat steps 1-4 whenver its slushy or dirty outside.
NOW, you might be upset because driving home will dirty the underside again. but it wont. unless you drive through a river on your way back or its 30 minutes away. your fender liners will get dirty again but they're plastic so it doesn't matter.

Just what's worked for me in snow and cold
Drive to the conditions (car and weather)
Aside from driving style snow tires are the next biggest help in cold/snowy weather

Problem is where i live and need to drive, the roads stay a slushy mess for some time. The state lays down TONS of salt that turns the roads white. In the daytime, the sun melts the snow, it flows into the street and all that water is pretty much dirty, salty water. I can wash the undercarriage all I want, unless i leave the car in the garage, it's gonna get salt all over it again in no time.

Local car washes usually do an undercarriage only wash for $2 or so. Usually in the winter I run the car through that after some time driving in the slush. At some point though when it gets cold enough, they shut down. It also tends to freeze my doors closed.

Salt and snow had no effect on my 06 G35 that I traded in last year

So i am considering a G35 couple 6MT. I currently own a S2000 and CRV. I purchased the CRV to drive during the winter months (s2000 couldnt do it) I am trying to sell both and get one car. My question is, if needed would the G35 handle the snow well?
Thanks in advance!

Thankfully, I have not hit anyone or killed myself because of the lack of traction and sliding related to the rear-wheel drive and the treads on my tires...
Certainly not the fault of the car or the tires I might add, I knew what I was getting into when I bought the car.
Now, the search for snow or all-weather tires begins!

The purpose of the snow specific tires is ability to be pliable in the cold weather. My summer Nankings are rock hard when it's cold outside. If you want all seasons and you get dangerous amounts of bad winter weather they make snow chains. You only need them for the rear.
I don't take my car out when it's 8"+ or more and untamed roads.

If you can afford tire swaps (120$ a season) then buy winters and run summers in the summer.

Got my G35 last year, first RWD car and I have no problems in the snow up in Canada, i do use bridgestone blizzak lm tires in the winter and I actually turn off traction control, i hate that it brakes when im trying accelerate. Anyway i have fun and enjoy driving in winter, get to have a bit of sideways fun, without wearing out the tires to quick.

Most all-season tires will get the job done. For some reason Hankook rings a bell as a great All-weather tire.
