Winterization - Wheels & Tires, Fluid Changes, Other Parts, etc.

[qellman32]

In my particular case, I'm planning to daily drive my Z through the winter. In Michigan. Like sports car in snow. If I don't move to another state this year.

(But this thread can also be about winterization in storage as well.)

So, I'm wondering, first, if anybody else has and/or is doing the same thing. And second, what wheel and tire combination would you recommend for this. I am keeping in mind that my Z Performance has a Staggered wheel setup. So, one of my options could be Winter tires in the rear and All-Season in the front, or Winter all around.

Let me know, I'm interested.

I'm going to do 18" square setup, not sure of exact specs yet.

Someone else made a witner tire thread back in May, not much response. https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/winter-tire-talk.1888/

I'm running Toyo Proxes 4 Plus all-seasons on my '09 370:

245/35/20 on 20x8.5 TSW Tabacs front
295/30/20 on 20x10 TSW Tabacs rear

I've had the Proxes for awhile now. They're fairly quiet, grip well year round and have excellent tread life.

I had staggered DWS06+ tires on my Q60.

Continental DWS are my favorite cool/winter season tire

What about oil? What works for winter? If any change at all...
