Its that time of year - tire decision
Hope I don't regret assuming if they fit the coupe they'll fit the vert.

I also live in NJ and had a G37 Convertible Sport 6MT but had to sell it after just one year. I wasn't expecting to use this car in the snow so I had purchased 18 inch O.Z. Ultraleggera rims with Potenza RE960AS all-season tires for the winter. I was running a staggered setup and they tires really suited the car well in dry and wet weather but I really don't know how it would have held up in deep snow. These tires seem to get so-so snow ratings. It snowed a ton in NJ last year so I actually barely used these wheels at all. I'd be looking to sell them if anyone's interested. Send me a PM and I can give you more details.

Thanks everybody for the input.
Being a veteran of northern climate driving, I decided to order the General G-Max all seasons from Tire Rack. The only thing that made me nervous was the fact there are no reviews with snow as it is a new tire. I am sure there will be a few days that my beautiful red vert won't leave the garage when we get a heavy snow day, but thats ok. Hey, maybe it will jog some fond memories of being 16 and driving my first car, a '79 Camaro with a big 'ol V-8 fishtailing around the neighborhood in the snow! Ahhh memories.
I will report back with how they look and feel when they are installed next week.
