I finally figured out why Mustangs are bad in the snow. I've driven in the snow before in my old car, that also had limited-slip, but it's much worse in my Mustang. On my way home from school at the local community college, I hit a deep patch of slush on the highway. It was clear and starry at school, so I was cruising at 60mph. Man it was scary. As I go farther down the road, the slush gets thicker, and even at a slow 35mph, my tires are so wide, (9.65in on 9in rims), that they act like a plow, and I see slush splashing higher than my hood from my front tires. Rather scary, it was pulling my car all over the place. It was really weird, because it was almost clear on my way to school, which is about 40miles from home, and clear on my way home, till about half-way there. It was coming down hard, too, hope it sticks, but I doubt it.

Get two spare tires, and put them on the back when its blizzarding outside, that will help.

You certainly need to change tires for the winter. I had a 91 GT a few years back and it was almost impossible to drive in the snow. Wide tires are great on dry pavement, but are death traps in the snow. I finally am lucky enough to have a 95 cobra as a second vehicle now!!! What a difference a 4x4 Jeep is in the snow!! Now it is fun to drive in the snow!!!!!!!
so its better to get skinnier tires for the snow....damn its gonna snow tommorow ahhh, my tires are bald..im gonna stick all my weight in the trunk tonite just to help with keeping the rear down..
skinny tires?? i dunno wide tires are workin pretty good for me they got some studs and i handle just likeall my other rear wheel drive cars ive owned
