On the 23rd you folks posted Ford is considering a Mustang Off Road version. Too late! Last weekend I attended a wedding of a young man who was a drummer in my drumline, Scottish Pipe Band. He gave me the address and city. Turns out he didn't give me enough information and I didn't ask enough questions. When I got to the road the wedding was located on, after a few hundred foot of paved road, turns out the house was three miles up a logging road and of course three miles back down. The whole run was about 2,3 MPH as it is not maintained, and recent rains had caused gigantic ruts and some missing areas of the road. I went across and over some of this stuff at pretty weird angles to keep from tearing something loose underneath. Other areas had such sharp rocks that I'm taking my car in to have the tires examined. So, Ford is too late! Off Road Mustang
The Guy is Already Off To A ROCKY Road Start of a Marriage Even Before The Vows! That's A RUT To Be Avoided!
Oh Well Everything is DUST in the Wind Eventually!
Might Tell That Young Drummer To BEAT IT! I Would Really STICK it To Him! A Little Courtesy Needs To get DRUMMED in to Him! He Needs to Get INLINE! Oh Well His Head Was Probably in a PIPE Dream if That's His BAG!
A follow up to my off-road driving post. My wife's condition doesn't always allow me to do the things I want to do, when I want to. So, I was only able to get to the tire shop a week ago. Amazingly, no cuts but a recommendation to replace my tires. They are the Cooper Endeavor Plus, not the top tire out there but they had a good score for dry & wet conditions, decent rating for light snow and not a great rating for heavy snow condition. This is the same tire that came with the car. Given my car goes into and stays in the garage as soon as the highway workers start spraying the highway, thus the snow rating not a big issue.
The shops discovery I was running "slicks" on the car explains the laying rubber incident when I was merging into traffic a few days earlier.

IMHO, knowing your car doesn't get driven during the winter, the Cooper Endeavor Plus tires should provide plenty of traction and handling for your specific application needs. In the meantime, thanks for following up and keeping us updated...
