So. I just mounted a pair of PSS a/s plus today and drove through a lot of crappy weather and snow around my 9000 foot elevation home in Colorado.

The tires grip well enough to limp around in the white stuff, (but the car is still a REAL handful in the snow covered ice). On the dry, the car is way quieter than stock (09 potenzas) and grips well, but there IS some sidewall roll. All in all, I think if I were to do it all again I'd mount true snow tires (Blizzaks??) for limping around in the snow and mount some PSS or other summer tire in the spring.

In short. pretty good tires for 1300 bucks but not superb snow or dry grip. Better to mount dedicated snow tires in winter and just suck up the crappy dry performance the give for the 3 months you cant use real street tires.

(I have a FJ cruiser to drive around when it gets heavy which factored in to my a/s tire choice. IMHO, if you DD your Z in snowy climates you should DEFINATELY get some real snow tires!)
