Default Snow problem

Could a GT be driven in 1-3 inches of snow just a few miles to school?

I dont know if tire size helps or not but I have 245's

i wouldnt take the chance... see if you can catch a ride or borrow your parents car... if you drive your car in that kind of snow... not sure if you will drive the same car home...

I drove mine once, with the stockish 245 regular radials, and it wasn't THAT bad. better than my "one tire fryer" 88 tbird was, but that isn't saying much.

You can do it, just be careful. You shouldn't though... mustangs are not supposed to be driven thru the snow and salt!
