Once the temps came up above 50 again, I switch back. My tire shop stored the DWS for me, so I can just drop the car off and have them swap tires next fall.

Did it for ten years with the NSX, only had a couple of slight slides downhill in snow, but I don't drive when the snow on the road is taller than my car's nose

- wait for the snow plow or get a ride in my wife's Jeep.

Thats very nice that the tire shop stores them for you. Do you happen to notice reduced road noise with the DWS on??

Thanks,
Matt

The DWS seemed quieter to me when I first installed them, but switching back to the RE050 I haven't noticed a difference. Probably depends on the type of streets a lot.

I'm mostly bothered by the debris hitting the wheel wells noise rather than tire noise anyway.

Congrats on the new z I myself am thinking of getting a z when my mustang is paid off it will either be a z or a grandsport corvette. Is there still oil temp issues with the 370 and how is the paint from the factory on these cars I thought I read on these forums thaT NISSAN BARLEY uses any clear coat and a thin amount of paint. I f I did get a z Iwould get the black cherry color that color is amazing. I would also get sport package and the leather seat package.

Paint sucks, better than the 350 though. Oil temp is a problem if you think it is a problem.

Well as the OP, let me circle the conversation back. Is anyone interested in my Bridgestone Potenzas that are on m 2 day old touring/sport Z?

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks!
