Semantics. Yes, the tire should be high end. The wheel should at least be the right size and shape. I prefer 18x8. A good looking wheel is a good looking wheel though, that's why I went with a nice one, since winters here can run from October to May.

id never drive a Z or G in snowy conditions again.

Only reason I bought a Z was I also own a Pathfinder for the winter now

I feel sorry for your Z, but more power to you if you want to slide around and almost crash on a daily basis.

You can lament the tiny amount of non-visible rust the underside has collected if you want. But I don't slide around (unless I tell it to) nor do I almost crash on a daily basis.

I think maybe you don't have much experience driving in anything but perfectly dry conditions if you think that's what it's like driving in the winter...

Jesus Christ this thread pisses me off. all of you are going so ******* far off track of the original question. I answered and got **** for my answer because some dumb ***** believe what I actually experienced was false. Just answer the damn question or shut the hell up.
