How do 5.0's do in snow? lots of snow in CO
Do snow tires help?

If you put 17x9's on for the snow you'll f**k yourself.

You want to put the skinniest tire on you can for winter, and YES, snow tires help.

The snow won't really bother your wheels, it's the sand, gravel, salt, de-icer, and ice that'll thrash them.

the 5.0 mustang is probably the worst car that I could think of to drive in the snow. when ever it snows around here I have to drive under 25 or it will spin out.
