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.

I drive my 2000 Civic Ex Coupe

And keep the Z in the Garage and start it every week to let it run and warm up to operating temp then back it up and pull it foward and park it.
