I have been thinking about it as well. Some REALLY good winter tires on base 370Z rims (18") should be plenty for the long winter.

I'm having fun trying to visualize a Z properly equipped for snow driving. )

Let's see: skinny tires on steel rims, high profile rubber w/ aggressive tread. extra 4" of road clearance. LSD; engine detuned to about 122 horsepower.

I think I've "discovered" a Versa / Cube!
