370Z Winter Driving

Yeah Dave, I have the sport package with LSD. I'm sensing the sport LSD is crappy anyway, but it probably helps somewhat.

I run the LM-60s on 18" cheap aftermarket wheels (still look pretty good though). I went with a 225/50/R18 square setup so I can swap them front to rear as the rears wear faster. The LM-60s are directional though, so no left-to-right swapping allowed.

And yes, Kenchan, I can't get the Blizzaks off soon enough! I'm thinking of doing an early swap this Sunday and then crossing my fingers that the snow is behind us. A bold move by a bold man.

My experience with Blizzaks (not on a Z) was very positive. Best snows I ever owned. However, they flex like crazy, making cornering feel like a bus with all the passengers sitting on one side. My second choice would be Dunlap Winter Sports, which combine grip with performance.

I am very close to buying an aftermarket LSD. For snow driving only, of course

Wait on removing those Blizzaks. Always remember, March comes in like a lion, and out like a different lion.
