The few cms of snow that we received over night is now gone. Last year, the first snow we saw wasn't until mid January and hardly got any the entire winter.
Yeah, and you got that for making fun of us having all that snow around Christmas! Damn, I wanted to come stay in that igloo!

And I thought the 350Z 17" wheel offset would be too small for the 07 Sedan. They look flush.

Garnet, how are the Blizzaks on dry roads?
I've heard thatthey can be a little squirmy (more sothan other snows) and that I'll have to calm the spirited right foot a little.

I know snows are not summer sneakers, but are they really that bad?

I've been running Blizzaks for a few years now and I think they handle dry pavement really well. I just checked on tirerack and the reviews on them for dry traction are quite good.

Hey Vasiliy, I found these in the Marketplace. There are always winter setups for sale in there and you can find some really good deals.

Looks good, Garnet.


I have a question for the people running Dunlop Graspic DS-2;
how do you guys find driving on these in the wet?

According to reviews (such as TireRack, etc.) these tires are not
bad on the wet. I got a set of them about 2 weeks ago and I find them
extremely dangerous in the wet. They spin very easily.
