Sick of winter yet?

Chef kid

I want to get my Z out of my gravel driveway. Anytime I think I can, another round of snow comes and keeps my grounded. More snow tomorrow. Not buying snow tires since this is my third car. I am starting the official I hate winter thread.

I want more snow so I can drive more in the snow.

Ca doesn’t get snow but yes I hate the winter. Rain and coldness I can’t stand so F the winter.

How many of you guys are driving your Z's in the snow?

Chef kid

I got it out today. Driveway cleared out pretty good with sun out. 3-6 inches expected tomorrow. However, looks close to 50 late next week!

I drove in light flurries last year with summer tires. With the expected 1-3 inches of snow, I won't be driving this weekend

As long as there isn't salt or ice on the roads, I'm good to go.

No snow where I am at, but the rain and wind has been keeping the Z in the garage lately. I did take her out today though

I think I may become a snow bird, it just seems as if no one goes out and everyone hates life in the winter. Also it's just so damn cold, tires don't grip at all, at least I don't have to worry about high oil temps.

On the bright side I installed my LEDs yesterday. They look great with a blue interior. Too bad I won't drive it for probably a week or more. Maybe winter tires in my future just to drive it more in the winter. No snow or salt. Just for the cold days and get out of my driveway. It slopes and always has slush and ice at the bottom of it.

A good set of performance winters perform masterfully in cold weather. I have Michelin Alpin PA4s (245/45 square) mounted to base Enkei wheels. The tires are super grippy and responsive on dry pavement so I can still have tons of fun. In my limited testing so far they work great in the wet stuff... hoping we get some more snow soon so I can give them a test in deeper stuff.

I heard the best winter tire for our cars is the pirelli sottozero's. I have my z parked in the car for the season now but if i were to run it all winter long those are the tires i would use.

I have the Sottozero Serie II on my wife's Focus ST. I also ran the Serie II on my S2000. They are good tires for sure. Good on dry/wet pavement and good in the snow. I do think the Alpin PA4s outperform them in the dry, but I can't really compare them in the snow yet as I've only had the PA4s out in about 1-2" of snow/slush so far.

The new Sottozero 3 is out now. They completely changed the tread pattern vs. the Serie I and Serie II to more of what Dunlop uses with the Wintersport line (I had Wintersport M3s on my 5.0.) I haven't seen much in the way of reviews on them though as they are still very new.
