CA is definetly the area with the most habitable climate for stangs year round. Not much rain ever, nice and warm in the summer with almost no humidity. The Winter is only a little chilly. CA is great

We've had snow here in Wisconsin but I've kept the Mustang in the garage until I decide to get new wheels/snow tires or decide my 18" stock BFGs will be ok in the snow. Anybody tried the stock 18" BFGs in snow? Based on the tread design and gaps, they seem passable.????

People in California can't even drive in the rain. The GT will be garaged on rainy days. We can exchange info if they hit my 2001, but not the 2006! Anybody know of good wet traction tires for an 01 V6 Vert? Sorry mods not trying to hijack 2005+ thread. Aquatred's are good, but not made for every car.

Mine's no garage queen. :nono:
I store the other two for the winter, but this one's for driving!
I put Toyo Observe 215/60/17's on Bullitt take offs, they are the same outside diameter as the Pirellis, but a skinnier snow tire cuts better in snow and slush. I also wanted a taller sidewall, because the roads here are awful, and tires ride harder due to the extreme cold we get. A third reason is that the smaller tires cost less, dry road performance is not a priority for me in winter.

Like last winter, I'm just going to be washing her at least once a week and attempt to avoid major traffic times. Thanksgiving was heck driving home up I-77 with people hitting their brakes every 50ft. When are people going to learn brakes + snow = bad? It's not like snow is new here either.

Only thing I would worry about in that situation is the bullit wheel is wider than the 215/60 allows. 7.5 is the widest wheel its recommended on.

Drives and handles fine, looks a bit skinny though
