New 370z tour+spt pkg OHIO

stiggo1961 · 11-24-2013, 03:20 PM

Hi all,
New to the 370z world..............just wow.........I now understand why they call it the poor mans sports car.

Going through the choices of winter driving with the std 19" wheels. Probably going with the Blizzaks LM60's, being cheaper than the LM32's, and having no real knowledge of any advantages of either. But I see a lot of comments re-changing to 18" from the 19" which would mean new rims also. Not sure I can afford all of the changes, so was hoping for some reassuring comments from people driving the std spt pkg sizes through the winter?

Anybody with help would be greatly appreciated as the weather is changing here pretty quickly now, and there is an offer at one of our local stores for a 4 for 3 deal.

Thanks
Stiggo

I think most people just pick up the less expensive 18" rims/tires. Blizzaks DO seem to be tire of choice.
Base 18" wheels and TPMS for sale- Winter wheels!

and congrats!

Please:

Ps. I am in southern Ohio

What part of Ohio are you in? I'm up near Toledo myself. Unfortunately I'm one of only a handful in this part of the state.

I use the blizzak lm-60s, they work great. I just chose the cheapest rims off tirerack, i think they are called the sport a7 wheels or something like that.

Hi, and thanks for the comments. I am just south of Toledo from waterville....
I am having to stay with the std spt pkg sizes due to lack of greenbacks; but will get the LM60's in a 4 for 3 deal; and stay off the roads in the worst of it.......Thanks again.
