I use Bridgestone Blizzaks on my 19" Stockers. I bought 20's for the summer so they make a nice (really nice actually) winter rim. Haven't had any problems with traction with them and they look good too.

I use Blizzaks on 18" rims - they work well up to -30 or so then they also get fairly hard. When it's in the -40's it takes a couple of blocks of driving before they are round again (they freeze with a flat spot on the one side).

Why even have a G in a place like that? I'd think you would need a Land ROver or something up there...

Interesting, the manual indicates that it only shows to -30C. In any case, it's damn cold regardless.

Its not cold like that all the time. At least where I live, it only happens on one or two days a year. Besides, for the most part the roads are well cleared right after any snowfall. oh, and I also have an SUV for those really terrible days (that you can get anywhere in North America)

Also, no earthquakes, no hurricanes, no floods, no volcanoes, only a few really cold days in the winter... you can prepare for that!

Yeah.

We get several weeks a winter where it never gets above 0F, even during the day, along with 250"-300" of snow to shovel and sno-go every winter.

We got 52" of snow 3.5 days in the 3rd week of April last yr.

I bought 18" wheels and Blizzaks for my FX yrs ago, and am hoping the same wheels will fit over the larger brakes when I get the G37.

I run 20" KD Dub Yahs in the summer-

Amen to that brother. I'm freezing my @$$ off right now and it's in the high 30's to low 40's.

Wow, how do I get that reading to pop up on my G37? My last oil change got me a ridiculous "fuel efficiency" bar thing and it's annoying the heck out of me.

It does not get that cold here, but we sometimes DO get heat in the three digits (NASTY!). During the summer I have to carry a couple of small towels to put over the steering wheel and the shift ****, otherwise they get too hot to the touch. An forget driving without any shoes on...

2 buttons on the side of the instermint cluster hit them and you get a range of options for the middle display.
