Just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom for the daily-mustang-drivers with the upcoming winter. Is it a good idea to put sandbags in the trunk? I was thinking of maybe buying a set of rims with snow tires, and wearing them for a few months.

That's my plan as well. I have the 17" silver Bullitts, now I just need to buy the tires. And yes, I will have 250 lbs loaded into the trunk all winter.

 

I'm going to go with the sandbags because I don't have enough $$$ to do the snow tires and rims thing. I figured two 50-pound bags should do it. I've heard that Bridgestone Blizzaks are the way to go when it comes to snow tires for our cars. Where would you get rims/what kind would you get for winter weather?

I suppose if the sandbags don't work, I may just have to find a way to get the tires, but I've only seen the set of four going for around $900 in my neck of the woods.

 

Use the sand bags and just take your time watch your speed and don't take the corners to fast.

 

f sandbags. It doesn't snow enough here to warrant sandbags.

 

uhm dont do it. no limited slip. super slick tires... not going to end up well.

 

the peg leg diff will actually help handeling, however once you get stuck it will suck

 

I'm from New Jersey and the past two winters here have sucked and I drove both in my daily driver mustang. I put 250lbs of cat litter cuz sandbags are too expensive and if I get stuck I can just open a bag up and dump it under my wheels for traction lol As for tires I kept the stocks on during the winter, I had chrome rims but no way were they staying on. The first winter I put snow tires on the rear and kept the stock BF's on the front. The next winter i threw the stocks to the front and went studded on the rear and had much better traction. Just take it easy. I have an Auto and just drove in a lower gear. Don't give it gas going around corners and avoid hills lol cuz hills suck!! got stuck on one and had to roll backwards down it. Good Luck man
