My Winter Rims/Tires Setup: TRMotorsport C2 + Blizzak LM-25 w/TPMS w/pics (AK370Z)

Instead of jumping or hitting the wrench to loosen or tighten the lugs. Use a metal pipe on the wrench, I have an aluminum one and it's a breeze to change the rims.

Yes, if you don't have a friend, metal pipe is your friend!

Hey spear, recently I have been turning the VDC off from time to time and drifting in turns

I've been thinking about this but then I image the rubber actively coming off the tire and my wife's reaction when I tell her I need new ones!

That being said, any aggressive corners with the winter tires really makes the Z rotate nicely. The Z wants to drift and darn is it fun with those winter tires.

It's a lot of fun drifting on skinny snow tires but they sure won't last long! The soft winter tread wears pretty quickly, once the tires are 50% worn they are basically just all seasons.
