I want to take the Z b/c of the nav and t/c, but am weary of driving on the summer tires. I'm also too cheap to buy a set of winter tires just for one trip.

Anyone have any experience driving in these types of conditions yet? Think I'll be ok for one week on the Bridgestones?
Don't do it! Take the front-wheel-drive Element! Save the Z! Snow, salt, geez.

X2. Your tires are going to be ***, unless you replaced them with quality all-seasons.
