Are Pilot Sport A/S sufficent in the snow? I ask because I might be driving to Colorado for a ski trip next winter.

I think you'll need winter tires. Colorado is really tough, I've heard of people w/ Audis (awd w/ all-season tires) having trouble going up inclines.

Re: G35 coupe in the snow?

how about 17" rims on some all seasons or ultra high performance all seasons (falkens, toyos) for getting through a nyc winter?

Re: G35 coupe in the snow?

I drove my 6MT coupe in the snow a few times last winter with no problems. I have a set of 17inch Mille Miglia Action wheels with Pirelli Winter 210 SnowSports. I am actually selling the wheels and tires if anyone here is interested. They are located in Maryland. Asking $1000. Lots of life left in the tires. The wheels are in perfect condition. The tires are proper staggered sizes to ensure VDC and ABS work properly.
