G35x in the bad weather - yawn
Now my third morning driving to work in "bad" conditions - as dictated by the local weather yaps. Saw many cars and SUVs off to the side of the road and a handful of tow trucks out. G just kept going where I pointed it - never a slip or slide the entire ride - which is an uphill/donwhill/twisty route.
YAWN!

Yeah, unless I'm doing something like passing snowplows uphill out of a turn with 4-5" of snow on the ground, I haven't really slipped out...
...very glad I got the X, and snows!

I kept the Eagle RS-As on and they've been more than fine. I have a brand new set of Wintersport M3s in the basement if anyone wants them. Bought them for the Z and never got used or mounted.

I have a 4x4 Cherokee I have as a little beat around. Well, this morning it snowed and I used the Jeep cause the g35x was still clean 
Even using 4x4, the x handles 20x better in the snow vs. the Jeep.

Snow isn't a challenge in the X at all, but I have been taken hostage by some ice a couple of times on the side streets. I have Toyo Garit KX winters on and this car handles like its summer time.

Sorry, couldn't help it guys! I feel for you guys who have to drive in snow with those beautiful G's! I hate having to drive my car in just rain; can't imagine driving in snow.
The closest thing we have to snow is this~
