Default Another Dumb Question

I will be driving the z year around and it snows alot around me.. east coast.
and I heard the blizaks are good for the z .. my question is how much for a set ?


I think i might hold out for a used touring... seams the leather seats blue tooth and syncho match is worth waiting for...
I did test drive a 2009 base in black. and I could not tell the difference between the touring.and base in terms of speed. I didnt even notice that the base seats are cloth.. no biggie . I thought the car was very fast.... it reminded me of the datsun 280zx..i once had..

For tires, you need to do your research.
There will not be any difference on speed between touring and base, unless you have a bad driver on one of them.

What you need to do is drive a 280zx to remind you of how slow that is.

Keep your summer tires and look for a cheap AWD beater to drive during the snowy months. I already lost 1 RWD car to bad weather and don't want it to happen again.
