![]() I use all three methods in my mustang. Snow tires are perhaps most important as a typical performance radial will be absolutley useless in snow. Some are "all season" types and may offer some snow traction, but not too impressive. I use two 60# tube sand bags ( Home Depot 3.99 ea) in my trunk. This helps quite a bit. Also you need to slow down, and use carefull downshifting and slow gradual steering and accel when in snow. Once you break traction the car can skid quite a bit.
Try practicing in a empty parking lot, running doughnuts and Rockfords in the snow, get used to how the car spins and practice recovering. Plus it's a blast. I can do a 360 spin while keeping the inside front tire virtually stationary.
