ya get stud tires for the winter. Get them in the back and if you got the money get them in the back too. (studs are not much) Put alittle wait in the back (a few bags of sand), keep it in the higher gears (especially in snow). Do you have a 4.6L or a 5.0L? What kind of mods? Those would changed your outlook too. But just answer me on those.

i have a 1995 5.0 with a k&n kit, 3.73 possie gears, shift kit, shorty headers, H pipe w flowmasters, and my rims.

RE: Winter Driving

My mustang made it through winter fine, I live in new york as well so i know what its like. The secret to making it through winter is.....Studded Rear Tires, I have a 93 5.0 LX btw. They work pretty good and they are fun to tear up in the spring when you are done with them. Thats if you dont want to buy a beater, but buying a beater is the best way to go.

RE: Winter Driving

I couldn't imagine driving my car in the winter. It's challenging enough with my Bronco and it has Traction-Lock in the rear with some weight in the back. Wide tires are going to suck. Get a beater. If you wanted to get a Mustang where you live you should know getting a beater for the winter comes with the territory.
