Snow Driving...Who's done it so far?

Z2nv

Ive been driving in weather around -25 degrees for about 3 weeks now.. only problem i have is the front bumper taking a beating from snow/ice chucks that tend to fall off car when driving behind them. Im running a 18" cheap tuner wheel with the sport package.. it fits without any spacers. the rims where 112$ a wheel and i put on hankook winter ipike w409 and had them studded. I have no issues starting/stoping/turning. I wouldnt sugggest driving in any snow without the proper tires. my whole winter rim/tire setup cost my 1267.00 all in, so it wasnt to bad.

Did you recently just buy your Z, as in within the last few months? I see you joined in Sept. Got any pics of your car?


As for driving the 370z in the winter. It can be done but like others have said, winter tires are a must. We had unexpected snow come down, about 1-2cm last year and i still had my summer tires on. Got stuck 3 times on the base, was able to get myself out 2 times but had to get some people to push me the 3rd. Got winter tires on and the car handled amazing. Handled even better with the VDC off. That thing got me in more trouble on then it did off. Taking turns and having your *** end somewhat slide out wasnt a problem with me, i knew how to handle the that. But when u do that and the VDC comes on, that screwed me up. I ended up pulling the harness out and leaving the VDC off the whole winter and never had any issues.

What he said!

I drove it in snow last year but I'm parking it for this winter.
For one, I even drove during the east coast snow storm last year *though it was not as bad as states up here in Canada*. I figured I probably spent more on Car wash then how much I would have spent on a good winter beater LOL.

yah i did recently buy it, i bought it for my all season car.. but i think my mustang cobra is going to be sold in the spring. Gotta love 500 horse at the wheels lol but the car handles like a boat. As for pictures i dont have much on this computer considering im at work, its basically stock besides stillen long tube, stillen exhaust, nismo headers, cobb tuner and ADV10 deep koncave wheels which i just received on monday(i wet my pants everytime i look at the wheels sitting in my room waiting for summer to come!)

Yup, me and spear use our Z in the snow during winter. It's not bad. With a proper setup, you CAN drive RWD in snow

Here's my setup and video: My Winter Rims/Tires Setup: TRMotorsport C2 + Blizzak LM-25 w/TPMS w/pics (AK370Z)
