Hi,
Pretty used to winter driving here in Quebec with lot of snow. On my 2 previous Mustangs, had 4 winter tires. Went thru the winter like a charm. No extra weight in the trunk was added. Believe me, go for 4 tires, worth the investment.

On my new 05 mustang, I keep it now inside, got a winter car.

You may want to add bit of weight in the trunk if you prefer, like a sand bag or 2

Get yourself a second set of wheels and mount some Blizzak tires on them.

I agree with the Blizzaks!! They are just plain incredible! I drove my 02 GT through 2 very hard Michigan winters with out a single problem... and with no extra weight or anything!
