With the ABS and TCS, the car is very capable winter driver.
Doesn't your tire pressure sensor go off with low air?

Yep, we don't get much snow here, maybe a dusting or two. It doesn't really matter to me though because I don't even drive my Mustang in the rain. It's only used on pretty days.

I am assuming you have an alternate vehicle that you drive in the rain? I wish I did....black is such a hard color to keep clean!! :-O

Seriously I have had a few Camaros, Firebirds, and Fox body mustangs and I have to say this car with the traction control on and 17” oe Pirelli tires is impressive to me. No it’s not a 4x4 but….

Yeah, for work I drive an E-350 Van/truck. For family trips or when it's raining I drive my E-150 conversion van.
Yes I know how hard it is to keep a black Mustang clean. I had an '82 GT once, but that one didn't see rain much either. It was a garage queen until I sold it to a car collector.

Erie PA - BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRR!!
I am originally from Johnstown, PA, which is approximately 65 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Do you possibly know a Brian Gross that grew up in Erie? I attended PTI tech in Pittsburgh and Brian Gross was my roomate.

My Blizzak snow tires will be seeing their 4th winter from Nov through March with four 50# bags in the trunk. I just got my scanner and CB re-installed for the winter season. This car can go ALMOST anywhere everywhere in snow up to 11 inches, so far. And boy, does it ever track well. I pass up those front wheelers with all season tires on the interstate all day long! I wonder what goes through their minds as I whizz by. lol
