I keep hoping that YOKOHAMA will make their ADVAN Neova AD-08 High Performance tires available in the correct sizing for the ZL1. They exhibit superb grip on DRY, WET & DUSTY pavement; not so much on snow/ice. The low temperature threshold is 14°F, well below GOODYEAR's 40°F.

Even NISSAN offers a "Winter" package for their GT-R that includes rubber that's supposedly good in slush/light snow. Obviously, AWD is a huge advantage, but there are exotic compounds available that GOODYEAR could employ in their tire construction that would benefit ZL1 drivers.

While I would NEVER drive my ZL1 in snow due to ground clearance issues, approach angles & corrosion inducing road salt, I would LOVE the ability to just take her for a ride to "keep the battery charged up" when it's only the COLD I have to deal with.

So, she's parked in a heated garage until the weather breaks. In the interim, I'm going to need a decent trickle charger.
