Alaska Winter Driving 2009 FORD MUSTANG PONY

It is a vehicle meant to be driven - not garaged. Notice he can go backwards just fine?? Well, you need a combonation of things to move forward on Ice or Snow Pac. 1. Studs on all FOUR tires. 2. A low gear to start forward momentum and feather the gas gently 3. A driver that is familiar with their vehicles abilities and stays out of potential predicaments. I drive my Mustang all year and frequently get it dirty - wet - grimy. But I LOVE MY RIDE! Unlike driving some clunky, bouncy - noisy 4X4. 4X4's have their purpose - yes - and I do not tread where 4x4's fear to tread.

here in canada we are getting worse and worse winters, how good are mustang gt's with normal winter tires in the winter? im looking into them and afraid of crashing such a beautiful car like this!

@traxxas35 Most of the G.I.'s in my area bought the GT and do just fine. Have fun - they are a blast!

@CorvetteSpdMnc At 2:16 one can clearly see I was up to 40+ mph. Nuff said.

hey! nice car, finally someone who drives mustang in winter, one question, when u get in a part of the road without snow does the tires get damaged? i know that the asphalt can be damaged by studded tires in fact somewhere they're illegal but dont know how tires react, thx!

@jackass00world

The newest revolution is the stud-less snow tires here. Many that own GT's used these studless snow tires the past years and found them spectacular in comparison. We're required to change-over to street tires mid-April each year. When roads clear of snow/ice prior to taking them off here in Alaska, yes, the tires studs wear quicker. The road handling's not affected when driving on dry roads while using studded tires, but you can skid/slide when driving unsafely.

how much did the studed tires cost u

i dont get why people drive in the winter with summer performance tires, like how hard is it to understand that winter tires are esp made for winter and summer tires are basically made for summer conditions, so if you got your car set up for winter with weights and great winter tires you should be good
