2023 Nissan Z — going one inch smaller for winter wheels — trying to narrow this down

I'd pick the setup I'll actually live with in slush. In Nashville, dedicated winters on the 2023 Nissan Z paid off more than I expected on ice, even on plowed roads. That's where I'd start. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Salt and cold mornings punish cheap shortcuts. If Nashville only sees a few real storms, a good all-weather on the 2023 Nissan Z can be the saner daily. Then you'll know the next fork. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Not driving it hard until I know more.
