Mustang GT versus Atlanta Snow and Ice
#61
Other than repositioning the Mustang so I could the Jeep out of hibernation, it has been parked since the snow hit. Unlike other cold climates in the north, there is no dedicated snow/ice removal equipment here. 4WD and ARB lockers front and rear has made for some fun driving here last week.
As far as FWD versus RWD, that doesn't matter anywhere near as much tires and skill.

I drove my 2010 GT threw about 7-8 inches of unplowed roads in my development for 8 blocks. It handled ok, just had to take it very slow. I have the stock Perellis was wondering if anyone can recommend a good all season tire (I prefer Michelins).

There is an Atlanta car cruise-in every Saturday AM that I often attend. Yesterday we were talking about my snow and ice adventure and how well the Mustang GT limited slip (a S clip design) worked compared to older types like GM Positraction type limited slips. We decided to do a test to see just how well it worked.
The parking area still had ice patches so we put one wheel on ice and one on dry payment. Then we made normal starts and fast starts to test. It seemed to work as well as my older type limited slip differentials. Or at least I was able to start with limited slippage of the wheel on the ice.

Michelins make the X-Ice studless winter tires. I too am a Michelin buyer on almost all my tires. I did buy the Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 this time and they are great. Never bought the X-Ice, but watch the video on Tire Rack comparing the two and make your own decision before purchasing.

Regards to Mustangs and snow. I understand some like to keep they're stored for the winter, however I myself, like to drive mine 365 days a year. If I was planning to keep my Mustang for a very long time, I would store it for the winters as well. However, I only plan to keep mine 4 or 5 years. This being the case, I drive it as much as possible.
