Winter drivers......some input.
 


I am buying a Mustang soon, probably middle of winter so i can get a better deal.

I wanted to know how many of you drive yours in winter. More so in Northern winters.....ice,snow, salt, bad roads etc.
What size wheels and tires do you use ?

i had to drive my 93 lx 5.0 when i was going to collage in sault ste marie in the early 90's and i suggest you buy a winter beater. my mustang would get stuck going down hill, serious. i believe i had 245's on that one.

No winter beater for me. I'll use my wifes car when theres a storm and lots of snow.

I figure i'll buy a set of winter rims and tires. I'll go for some top of the line snow tires and no wider than 185 at that.

for the winter, i was thinking of putting a couple of sandbags in the hatch...and maybe putting mud or snow tires in the back for traction...what do you guys think?

blitzacks with sand bags, start off in second gear (put in 2 for autos) and turn of the damn traction control
