Drivin in a Winter Wonderland

[Chevyguy]

Well so far so good this winter. I had started a thread this summer about snow driving with a Mustang. Many for obvious reasons were rather negative about the outcome. But since my stang is a daily driver I had to make a stab.

I bought a set of Michelin Artic Alpin snows 215-65/15 on my set of 10 holes,(BTW NTB matched the tire rack price for the Michelins and I got them mounted and balanced for the Delivered price I got from Tire Rack) and got a good deal on a set of Pony rims for the spring. In the trunk went two 60# bags of tube sand $3.99 ea at Home Depot. Even with my worn out Trac Loc I have been pretty happy with my traction so far in the snow storms to date mostly 2 -4 inches, about 8" max. Plus in regular driving the Michelins feel about 95% as good as the BFG Touring TA VR-4's that were on the car, and no real noise increase. Snow driving with a Stick car is always easier as you can control the traction easier. I have driven in snow since I was 16 ( almost 20 years now ) so I know how to keep the car on the road, obviously you can wipe it out if you go too fast. Doughnuts are awesome, I can spin the car around while virtually keeping one front tire stationary.

Any more Snow Warriors out there???
