why dont you have winter tires on the car? summer performance tires are unsafe in winter even on dry asphalt. being a firefighter you should know better

Being a firefighter, I DO know better.... I know that this car should just be kept in the garage when it is snowing.... That is why I threw down 2200 bucks, and got a Jeep (a set of rims and winter tires would have been only a little cheaper)..... No sense in messing up the Z when there is salt and ice on the road!! Just didn't check the weather reports, thats all... I am honestly more concerned about putting some more miles on the Z, as I am currently in the process of doing a oil consumption test for Nissan, so have been trying to drive it more, even over the winter months.... Just had no idea about the snow/sleet!
