my 94 cobra did fine in the snow last year, and i was running 275's on the rear too.... maybe it had to do with the driver mod

RE: mustangs in snow
400 inches of snow last year and i live on a mountain, there is no way that i could drive Cobra with 315s on rear. I just park it an drive Expedition and excursion with studded snows.
as said earlier, Rear wheel drive and Snow do not mix

Hey dull_machete ,i am from lynden, i am in AZ going to school now. But I miss it so much, its beautiful up there in the summer. I do like driving the stang all year long here though. I say invest in an old ranger with 4wd, its a necessity up there, I love my baby to much to drive her in the nasty weather.

RE: mustangs in snow
I would avoid the snow like the plague when it comes to a mustang. It can be done though with the proper driver mod. My 02 V6 mustang I used to have wasn't too bad in the snow. The traction lock REALLY helped though.

RE: mustangs in snow
you guys must suck at driving i dont want to sound like an ******* but i got through the snow fine. i had to drive home in the middle of a blizzard there must have been 4 inches of snow already and it was only snowing for 2 hours took me 2 hours to get home when it should take 15 min but i made it up one steep *** hill i just sat back and counter steered my way passed all the front wheel drive cars that were stuck while the 4 wheel drive cars and trucks where hauling *** past me. all im saying is when there is a light dusting go out and find a parking lot have fun with it thats the only way you learn to control your car in the snow thats how i learned

RE: mustangs in snow
I drove mine once for about 2 weeks in the snow while my other car was in the shop, it is tough to switch from a awd eagle talon with snow tires to a mustang in the snow!!! These just weren't made for the winter, sure you can drive them but I would avoid it if you can, plus you can't have any fun in them in the winter unless you just want to do dougnuts in a parking lot or something
plus winter is hard on cars, I really want mine to last so I never plan on driving it in the winter ever again

RE: mustangs in snow
dude, im pretty sure they werent made for much other than dry pavement. Maybe i just lack control, but i have this terrible problem with drifting on the exit of corners. And thats with all season tires that are geared towards the wet...
