I live in Texas...I've seen it snow only twice here in 11 years.

as much as i love driving my car i would kill myself. im northeast, born and raised and i need snow. i started skiing at 3 and have been going ever since. snow is a huge part of my life so i just incorporate my stang into. some nice winter tires, full tank of gas to weight the rear and a feather-lite throttle foot and im all set. snow driving is definitely a p.i.t.a., but a stang can do it, and do it well

For me it's not a matter of CAN it do it, it's do I WANT it to do it. I bought the car brand new, never seen a winter, and it's a ragtop. I plan on having it for a LONG time, so the less salt and crap that gets all over it, the less damage done.

Do I hate the idea of parking it? Yes. I go out in my garage almost daily and just sit and stare at it. Will I drive it before the salt is gone? Not a chance.

Western PA and Mine is put to bed already........I fire it up about once a month to circulate the juices and let it run for about 20 to 30 minutes. But there is no way in Hell my car goes on PA roads past November 1. The '01 Taurus is for that

I've heard generally good comments about that tire, but it will SUCK in the snow. Do you live in an area that see's a lot of the white-stuff?

NJ so I see enough...its been mostly mixed over the last 2 years(didnt have mustang this is my first winter with it) so even worse than just snow.....
Oh and I just started a post just about all season tires so if u have anymore advice u can post it there...Thanks
