NISSAN 350Z Coupe
Result: Would you buy again? Definitely
Comment:
Following two quite severe winters here in the UK I thought buying a 350Z would almost definitely warrant a full set of winters. Unfortunately, last winter was quite mild and wet with very little snow :( Almost not worth getting the Blizzaks! But that said, they performed brilliantly in the wet and the few light sprinklings of snow we had. Plus I know they outperform summer tires at anything below 7 degrees C.
Generally the Blizzaks have served me well with loads of tread left for next winter (fingers crossed for snow this time!). I don't have experience to compare these to anything else but when I wanted to drive a muddy field - they worked well and when I want to send the car sideways from the lights - they worked well. The warm weather is here now and they’ll be changed next week as accelerating hard creates a very interesting squirmy, rubber chewing sound. Hmmm.... they’re definitely not 300bhp proof summer tires!
I know there are more up to date versions but don't hesitate purchasing a set for next winter. ;)
