Just saying Hello
My name is Jim and I from New Jersey. I just received a 2012 Z370 with touring package and 100 miles on it from my wife. I will be turning 60 so she wanted me to have a better milestone birthday than my 50th. I had lung cancer and lost a lung 4 days after my 50 th birthday.
It is an amazing car and I am still getting used to it. One question. How long can I drive on Summer radials? I plan to drive in the winter ...when there is no snow , ice or threat of either. Are all season radials better than summer? |

Welcome Jim!
I'm 52 so thanks for making me feel young amongst all the youngins on this forum. The 280Z was my dream car from my youth so mine is my mid-life crisis car for the weekends. I don't even drive it if there was a threat of RAIN.  I live in So Cal so no need for winter tires. But I would imagine if you don't plan on driving even with the threat of the snow and ice, you should just stick with the summer tires. You can't get the same kind of road hugging performance that the Z deserves from all season tires. |
