I thought the same thing when I bought my Z (last Saturday). The day I test drove it, it was almost 60 degrees (F) outside and there were no issues at all. I get home and the next day it is 34 (F) (gotta love Ohio weather) and I noticed when I turn, it sounded like my tie rod was about to snap or something. After much research and some help from the great people on here, I found it the cold weather makes the rubber harden on the tires and turns them into hockey pucks. They then start to skip on the ground when you turn.
