Nah the Police just caused more problems honestly. I've heard many Police horror stories. At one point, they only responded to accidents of 3 or more cars. We also use sand mostly.
NY never shuts down. It could be a 12inch blizzard and schools will remain open..We had one last week LOL!:hello::tiphat::hello:

Let me see what I can do in the next day.

Traded my 2011 for a 2014. Tried to drive it to the dealer, got about 50 yards up our snow packed road and it just wouldn't go any farther. Traction control chattering like crazy. I had to install the tow hook and pull it back home with my truck. Made the Z exchange with the dealer's flatbed auto hauler.

I don't know about Blizzaks, but Potenzas are a no-go for sure.

You actually tried to drive through snow with summer tires? Lol

Only needed to go about 200 yards to avoid a flatbed, one-time deal, but yeah....it was comical.

Summer tires in snow? You can't blame the car

Just wondering how the 370z performs in our cold, winter weather???
Any who drives them through out, can you please inform the rest that never experience this kind of drive:driving:
Tires. Not car.

Potenzas on those cars from the factory are worthless except on clean dry pavement over 50*f. In the rain they are deathtraps. If I ever buy another car with them the rubber will be left at the dealer for credit and replaced with a good tire like the pss.

According to the general run of comments elsewhere around the web, the PSS appears to be a very good summer tire, and pretty cost-efficient. Your comparison comments, however, appear to be rather overstated.
