How is the M45 in snow?

Can anyone give me any input on the M45 in the snow? Searched but didnt find any mention. My G35 coupe is undriveable in snow. Wondering if the M45 is any better.

2 words. Snow Tires.

Any rear wheel drive car will be crappy in snow without snow tires. All seasons don't cut it, summers are suicide.

The coupe is just fine in the snow with 4 snow tires.....and I'm thinking the M will be just as good (with 4 snow tires)....

Maybe even better because it's heavier.

the stock tires will get you out at a crawl - but you will be a cause of traffic.

snow tires are a must, unless you need your M just to go down the street for groceries.

My RWD G35 sedan was just fine with four snow tires. That doesn't mean I'm looking forward to winter...

I guess I'll be picking up a set of wheels and tires for the coupe this winter. Or just drive my beater (95 civic 4 door). That thing loves snow.

I havent had to drive my coupe in the snow yet, I figured it would be a waste of time but I am surprised to hear people say its actually not that bad with snow tires. Anyone have any suggestions to a choice of snow tires....sigh winter season :/


thanks in advance.

If it was my choice, I'd drive the beater. Come to think of it. Maybe it's not too late for me to find a beater for this Winter. Not that my 03 is new or anything, but it's still a great rust free car.
