In my '03 V6, I once got stuck in a McDonalds drive thru on a level surface with ZERO snow. I happened to have stopped on sheet of ice, and when it was my time to pull forward, it just sat there and spun. The dude behind me was nice enough to get out and push me off the ice

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all
Stay Safe.

ov3n,
I had real good luck with my 06 GT in the winter. I did put winter tires on all 4 corners & had 3 tubes of sand in the trunk. Drove it through some snowfalls.

Happy holidays!
I'm afraid to take mine out. Not sure I'd get back up the driveway.

Happy New Year everyone. Guess I made it for one more. Had the Stang out and let it run a while today to mix up the fluids a little bit.

Old yes. But as good as the day I took them off of the car. I wouldn't be afraid to put these wheels and tires on a car. They have been in a heated garage since removed.

agreed I bought a set for my MUSTANG (<--- = mustang talk) that are 6 yr old in the same condition as yours for the same price. I think they say replace your tires every 7 years or so, Going by the date on the tire. Do you know when the tires were made? I have a guy at work I told him about your setup. He needs to replace his stock 06 tires.

I don't know the date of manufacture of the tires. I took delivery of the car March 2005 so I would imagine they were made a month or two before. But that is a guess.
