2010 base 370z for a 2012 g37 x coupe

sheps58 · 11-27-2012, 02:34 PM

I own a 2010 6 speed coupe 8000 miles. However the car is completely useless in the snow. I'm thinking about a G37x coupe.
Has anyone here had long term experience wit a G37 x coupe. How is the driving experience?
Will I miss my Z? I once had an E-Type and had witdrawls when I sold it and I was very sad when my 1978 280Z was stolen.

I don't have a G37X coupe, but I have a G35x Sedan (2005), and it performs very well in the snow with a set of all-season tires.

I haven't had any trouble with its performance in the snow, even with the most recent snow storm we had and I'm dropped 3 inches +. xD

It's all about the tires. Awd is useless with no traction. I run rwd with performance snows.

What are good snow tires for a 370? Could I really get up a hill with 2 or 3 inches of snow? I live in Connecticut.

What kind of Snow tires. Do you drive your z in the snow and how much 2 or 3 inches.

Blizzaks tend to be one of the best winter tires
