spursmaddave Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Used summer tyres on my Zed all year round, got me to and from work fine although my commute is mostly motorway anyway Not sure if Germany are strict on winter tyres, if they are not then there are always snow socks or chains Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 MPSS are useless in the cold, get winter tyres. BLASPHEMY truth! Get yourself some Linglong Winter-Hero Radical 650! They even have HERO in the name Quote
cmck13 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Never ever,ever take mine out when there's salt on the road, but I have the luxury of another run around car So how do you keep your Zed from seizing up or just dying? Just don't want to take her out in the weather we get in Germany! And the salts another added factor! Like the others have said trickle charge and on a fine clear road, especially after a deluge of rain to clear the salt take it out for a run. My car will last about 3 weeks without charging or running, on a trickle charge months. Quote

StevoD Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Say MPSS one more time and Ekona shall appear, it's a bit like summoning the Candyman. You lied Quote

Payco Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Stick mine in the garage in November and run her once a month for a few miles on a dry day (if we get one), get her back out April/May when Spring arrives. Done that for 3 years and she hasnt missed a beat.. Quote
Mike_89 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Use mine daily, if it gets a little damp its makes it a little more fun. However most cars will suffer with ground clearance issues if it gets pretty bad with snow. Quote

jkyb Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 To drive it in Germany during the winter, it has to have winter tyres on. If you get pulled you will be raped, brutally. If you do put winter tyres on it, I'd be pretty impressed if you managed to bin it. Another thing.. if the car is in the drive then it does not need winter tyres. Should you decide to buy a 400 euro shed for the winter then it's fine to stay there without them fitted. Quote

Thank you for all the advice! Going to get winter tyres on the original wheels and just swop them over! Keep the veilsides kept in the garage sparkling! Cars just not going to be the same with out therm on :-( ! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 *facepalm* But only *facepalm* at peeps that don't drive in the winter and/or have never driven in Germany 2 Quote
NeilMH Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 All of which reminds me........ In my garage I still have my OEM 17s with good winter tyres on - but no 350Z to put them on Made a big difference last winter. I must do a for sale advert some time now people are starting to think about this. Have already acquired winter wheels and tyres for the XK8 (I always buy them in the summer). Quote
samsniss350z Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 What were those snowsocks that a few members were putting on there rear wheels either last winter or the winter before? I know they weren't any good for more than a couple of inches of snow but i remember a few people raving about them. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Snowsocks are just good for getting you out of snow, once you are off the snow you are supposed to take them off, otherwise the tarmac damages them. Now just imagine the lovely dirty snowsocks that you will then put back in the boot........don't have that predicament with winter tyres Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 When it snows I have a roll of carpet in the boot to drive over for if I get stuck, a shovel and a bit of salt too. Otherwise the car stays the same, it's just my driving which changes. Although I can't wait to use my one of these in the winter this year: 2 Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 whats that again its not a qpod is it yeah lol, 336cc and rwd wicked fun in the snow! Quote
StevoD Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 shame there no used ones could be a fun little summer toy aswell Quote
Flex Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I bought some 17" alloys and some second hand winter tyres, the car is much improved and TCS off when there's ice and snow around. Quote
