I store my Z for the winter, I bought it with no intension of driving it in the snow. I have a maxima as a daily driver and the high performance all seasons are pretty sketchy at best in the snow. I would highly recommend winter tires if you plan on driving in the snow, particularly since its a RWD car. I have Dunlop winter M3's on my maxima, its a decent all around winter tire thats not noisy.

Winter tires usually run 1'' less in diameter then stock, are narrower for getting through slush and snow, and have a much softer tire compound for traction in the cold. Winter tires IMO are a good insurance policy, if they keep you out of one accident they were worth the money.
