alright, i came to the same dilemma 2 years ago, and since i ski race, i do a lot of driving in snow/slush. everyone says that mustangs perform horribly in the snow so i got really freaked out. so i bought some michelin x-ices and that is the best decision i have made apart from buying the car. i went to a friends house in fairly deep snow with ice underneath and i managed to get up their driveway, it slipped a little bit, but i made it. i got to the door and they were so surprised because they have an awd suv with winters all around and they couldnt make it up the driveway. i am so sold on these tires and im personally convinced due to what i have personally experienced. to have a 2wd car perform better without anything in the trunk, no chains, nothing, better than an awd suv is a pretty freaking cool thing. cheers and enjoy
