![]() Well it seems I have driven to work and after 12 hours, there is 2-4 inches on the ground and roads. I am going to hit the parking lot before going home and play a little. I am not looking forward to trying to drive home. I figure playing around some will get me a little more used to the car since I've never had a RWD and I've yet to even do a donut in this one. Wish me luck all!

![]() Its official.... Mustanges blow in the snow LOL. *unless your just playing around* It was fun though I will admit. The rear is just so light that just a inch of snow made for a sideways ride. My last car was FWD and it never got sideways... it either went... or it spun. Last night I would move forward but I was doing it sideways just about the whole time. I tried pulling out in 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd at one point. Just at idle the car would spin out and turn sideways. While I was in the parking lot it was a blast. The roads were clear so I had no problems getting home but I couldn't make it up the drive so I had to park at the bottom of the hill. I don't think a 4WD would have made it up the drive though... not with it being a solid sheet of ice and the speed bumps.
I think that with a few bags of sand in the trunk that the car will do much better though. I have the stock Goodyear 245/45-17 tires on it. Anyone have any comments about these tires winter weather abliity? |

![]() I drove mine all through last winter, never had any trouble.
On the other hand, I cheated, I have a set of blizzaks on a set of extra wheels that I run in the winter, and 2 60 pound sandbags. |

![]() If you need a great all-season tire for you Mustang in your size, try Continental "ContiExtreme Contact". About $114 from Tire Rack. If it snows a lot where you live, go with Blizzaks.

![]() Thanks for all the input guys. I will check both kinds of tires. I have hear a lot of good things about the Continentals. I will look into them. I'm sitting around 21k and still on the goodyears with good tread still. So It might be a little bit, but its good to know ahead of time about thats available.
