Hello I am new to the site I drive a 2007 Mustang v6 I live in Canada and put my car away for the winter.. is there anyone out there who drives their stang in the winter and how does it handle in the snow

 

Hello and welcome. With some good all season tires or snow tires you should be just fine. I have taken my car out a couple of times and I enjoyed it as always. I drive the Fusion on most days especially when the snow is deep. That's because I'm running Sumer tires.

 

Welcome aboard.

Mine's in the garage too. I envy those in the warmer states who can drive their Mustangs without fear of weather.

 

Thanks guys.. what kind of summer tires so you run I am currently running fire hawk wide oval tires I enjoy them they make the car corner like it's on rails I am looking to change the tires as they are in need of replacing any suggestions?

Welcome aboard.

I drive year-round with cheap/low-end all-seasons, but I live in Texas. Any snow or ice is usually minimal, so it's not too bad driving in it.

You being from Canada, I would assume you can navigate snow better than most of the drivers in Texas. But I would think a good set of winter tires would serve you better.

 

upstate ny, my car stored from nov-april

 

I got lucky in sask Canada and got to drive mine until mid November I usually have to put it away mid October was a good year this year

 

Saskatchewan gets way to much snow for all season tires. I tried to drive in my pirelli all seasons last year and they arent very all season. In the fall of 14 I put some michelin X ice XI3s winters on and they are great. The XI3s arent real luggy infact they are very smooth, certainly good enough where I live. We only had one snowfall so far and the rest rain.

 

It's in the tires I'm in BC Vancouver Island hard let ever see snow 99% rain last snow really was 1996.
you have to watch the seams on your aluminium hood they will start to oxidize looks like rust but isn't paint starts to peal .
you never see this on an Airplane a FEDEX or UPS truck in any weather just ford ? I had mine looked at & was told ford did not treat the aluminium or seal it which is why this happens aka I'm a Regina boy

 

I drive mine all year in michigan, i have specific summer rims and seperate winter rims with snow tires on. It gets to places, is it the best handling? no.

Next year if all goes well i will be storing it and getting a POS

 

II drive mine year round. LOL I live in Florida...It is my understanding that it is all about the Snow Tires n the winter.

Look at these:



It's all about the tires.

 

worse case

 

I've not had to drive my Mustang in the snow, but I've driven many cars, FWD and RWD in the snow and it all boils down to the tires and driving technique.

If you start to slip, start off in 2nd to hold the transmission there, keep the revs low and you'll get yourself out of many situations.
