My 02 WRX, gotta love an AWD with extra power! Plus it's really fun in the snow!

Drove my Z with summer tires through a mountain in the snow. Im a man :D

I would like to drive the Z during winter. I'm looking for OEM 18" rims so that I can mount Bridgestone Blizzak Tires on them. We get about 1 or 2 days of snow. During those days, I either

a. Use my dads infiniti.

b. Use public transportation.

I tried driving the Z on snow and got totally stuck on snow :shakes head:

I notice that your car has the SPORT package and the 19" wheels. Are we sure the 18" will fit over the brakes? I don't know either and I sure wouldn't want to buy wheels and tires then find out they will not fit..............:twocents:

Same tires, if the roads are bad I'll drive my FJ cruiser.

All season tires on my civic OR use my motorcycle. If I get a Z I will probably drive it in the winter as well.

even though i voted "Store the Z" thats not quite true. here in southern Indiana, as long as the weather is nice, no snow, rain, sleet, etc, and there isnt any salt/sand on the roads, i will drive the Z a little in the winter times. about once a week or so i would guess. matter of fact, i usually drive it to most of the high school basketball games i go to on friday and saturday nights in the winter. unless the above weather situations prevail, of course.

and my other DD is a 1997 Hyundai Tiburon with 130,000 miles. fingers are crossed that it lasts another 50,000 miles with no major problems.

My very trustworthy Ford Explorer…………..since I ski every weekend at Killington, VT, I really need a SUV that can plow thru deep snow! Killington averages 250 inches/year.
