The stock tires on the ray's are terrible in the snow.i picked up my Z the day after a snow storm drove 45 mins to home, when i got there i got stuck for 1 hr pulling into my street... next day i ordered some michelin IceX2s and 4 18" wheels. Problem solved!!!

stock 18" OEM potenzas: snow performance?
Will the stock 18" potenzas be as bad as the 19" potenzas in snow?
Pardon my cluelessness; first sports car and never had to deal with tire science

 I recommend going to TireRack to put together a winter setup (wheels + tires). You can do one for the Z for about $1200 excluding shipping.
