RE: snow-ma-stang
Yep we got 6+ inches north of Indy. I drove the truck this morning knowing that snow was coming. I did see a mustang stuck on a side street as I was coming home. It was an older model and I don't think they have traction control and the road was not even plowed yet! Today I was very happy to have a second vehicle as I would not have wanted to attempt to drive the mustang with this much snow.

I live in Denver Colorado, and we've had a ton of snow this season. I put on the Dunlop Sport M3 tires all around, and was able to drive home during our first blizzard. There was about 6" of snow at the time, but I made it without getting stuck. I have the GT, so I imagine having both tires pushing is a big help. I've driven on ice too, and it did ok. I never got a chance to drive in the snow with the stock tires, so I can't compare these Dunlops to them.

wow, over all i'm pretty happy. today i left work at 3:15, and made it home at 3:45, oh and its 5 miles!!! but really, the only that held me back this past spring on buying the stang was the fact that i'd probably still live somewhere that has snow. i moved to Columbus, IN two months back for a new job, and i've seen a little down here, back up around home in Ft Wayne, IN i got some slush and stuff a few weeks ago.
but really these stangs aren't to bad inthe stuff. i think we got about 5" give or take. even saw two FWD cars stuck as i went by. so over all...i think my best bet is some nice lightweight 18" with nice sticky tread, and keep the stock 17" and maybe put on snow tires.
