Unfortunately, the Mustang is going to have to be my daily driver for one more winter here. So, she's a V8 with a hatchback with summer tires. Needless to say, she fishtails in rain.
I did a lot of research, and everyone recommended the Bridgestone Blizzaks for a Mustang in snow. But, many people also told me that tires wouldn't make a difference. I decided it was worth a try.
Previously, if there was a single snowflake on the ground, my car pretty much would just spin. I had the Blizzaks installed on Friday, right before we got snow!
Saturday morning, I took Nadia out. Not only did I get down my sloped driveway, she never slippeed. I tried nearly flooring her in the snow...and she only barely started to fishtail (which was completely controllable.) I tried getting on the gas in a turn...and only the slightest controllable fishtail. I even slammed on the brakes...and just a touch of a fishtail. I figured those were the worst-case scenarios. In just normal driving, there was complete control. Will and I took the Jeep out later...and I think the Mustang is handling better in snow now than the Jeep in 4WD (at least in light snow.)
We had a good couple of inches by late last night, so I took her out again...and same as before. I don't have to shovel my driveway!!
I'm extremely impressed. I never thought the stang had a chance to be driven in snow...much less be able to handle well in snow. Although the tires had a steep price-tag ($470 for 4 on 15" rims), they were well worth it.
Two thumbs way up!
