I have A Z51 coupe for a daily driver since early October. I'm just outside St. Louis, MO and see similar winter conditions. With the Michelin A/S 3 all season tires I had virtually no trouble getting around. Of course, I just stayed home during the worst snow storm, like any intelligent person should. I've also had no trouble on speed bumps -just go easy over them. A Z06 would have more trouble by far due to its big front splitter. The little rubber "spoilers" on the Stingray are flexible air deflectors to divert air around the front tires. They are very cheap & easy to replace and are almost a wear item like brake pads.

This car has been spectacular for my needs as a daily driver!
