my wife is still making fun of me for getting a rear wheel drive car..

uggh..not giving me much confidence here. at least i switched my tires out for snows, so i'm hoping it was the summers that got you stuck

So I put Dunlop M3 Winter Sports on 17x7 wheels on my car. It was like a tank in the snow. For those that don't have winter tires...I wasn't much of a believer but you should definitely get them!!!

I thought about snow tires, but then I'd be plowing snow with the lip on my bumper

I have the same tires on 18" rims. Was not all that impressed. I would say the car was moderately driveable.

I miss my Z!!! Its in storage... I used the M3's on my Audi. I found that an All Season Continental tire performed better then the Dunlops.

Those are what I use, and I'm satisfied. I think I'll get three winters out of this set, and then I'll be on to a new car so I won't be able to compare them to anything different.

That's what I have too and I agree AthensBlueG. It definitely drove a little better, but it was not that reassuring on hills. I am going to purchase some sand bags to put in the trunk because I was slipping going up hills.
