Be careful shutting off the traction control ... it can be very easy to get the back end to get loose and you can easily lose control (re: oversteer), especially on the bendies ...

I agree, the back end will come out quite easily when you push it, but it's actually quite forgiving compared to many other RWD cars I have driven.

I think we must have ordered the same package.. Dec 5th now (was the 12th I think).

I had some icy conditions on the drive home last night, that was scary.

Got my winter wheels and tires today.. They don't fit.. Seems like the centering rings are the wrong size for the front. Haven't tried the back.

I have quite happy with my Dunlop M3s. They seemed to perform well in wet/dry/snow and corner nice too.

I know some people have posted which 18' wheels they found that fit over the BBK's on the sport edition, but which ones did you go with? Anyone have any links to nice 18' wheels that will fit the sport model without any modifications?

Tirerack.com doesn't list any 18's that fit on the sport edition. According to their website, only 19' and 20' will fit over the BBK's on the sport edition. I have tried all sorts of websites, and none of them list any 18' wheels for the G37S.

You have to go to the winter wheel & tire package. There they show all the 18's, just under wheels they do not.

The ones I got (fox sport edition) fit, except the centering rings were wrong. Tirerack has already shipped some replacement centering rings for me.
