Default Nittos in Indiana Winter?

i have my fr500's off right now and its only snowed a couple times. my stock tires barely have any traction, my 555's are basically new. I know these a performance tires but would i get better traction with the treadless stockers or the 555's?

Neither really. Save your nittos for the good seasons. Go to newtakeoff.com and buy some stock tires for cheap. They do surprisingly well in the snow.

Putting perfume on a pig won't it make it smell better, either.

Get 4 winter tires and put about 150 lbs in the trunk if you can't afford a winter beater. If you must drive the Stang, make it as safe as possible. And don't forget a few dozen extra pairs of Fruit of the Looms to go with the white knuckle driving that you WILL experience.
