We've only had one day of real bad ice/snow here in Detroit, Michigan, and my experience driving it was not bad. I told myself if anything happens while I'm on the snow, it's due to driver error and not a car error. Traction control kept me in check and I could drive around just fine (even made it up an icy hill...likely a miracle). My 07 GT/CS came with BFGoodrich tires (I think g-Force T/A KDWS) but don't quote me. It's done very well so far, and I look forward to more snow to see how she does.

I do havea truck for the winter, but I was taking advantage of the weather then got a suprize on my way back home.One winter I unfortunatly drove my 79 Transam (first car had no choice). It did alright with a couple bags of sand and good tires, but the aftermath of the salt was a nightmare!

Hey man I'm from Sterling Hts (Michigan for those who don't know) and I don't appreciate you wishing for more snow. I've done my best to pray for NO SNOW, and its worked so far. I wouldn't drive it in the snow or even rain anyway. I park it in my garage.

I know what you mean, I want to try my Mustang in the snow as well at least once. When I had the 04 GT I was able to make it up a hill while it was snowing and the street wasn’t cleared yet. With the 07 GT I ended up going sideways in the rain about a week ago but the street was very wide and empty so I was able to straiten her out before hitting anything.

I'm not praying for snow, but I need to learn in her once at least. Before the stang I had a Subaru Outback and that thing could fly in the snow. I never shoveled the car out of any snow. Just got in and hit the gas. I need at least one experience in the Stang to know how she can handle. Sadly I don't have another ride, but hey, we've only had 1 (maybe 2) bad days of weather. Since I bet you were outside today, it was a gorgeous day to take out the pony.
