I would not drive mine is the snow. That is why I own a truck. with a tire swap you could drive this car in the snow but I never would on purpose. 580hp rwd and snow are just no something I consider practical.

No snow driving in this car for me. Not very practical. Tires make a difference but this amount of horsepower and rear-wheel drive aren't a good idea in the snow. I watched a new Mustang GT (not 500) spin three times across four lanes of I-15 last month after a snowstorm. He wasn't going fast either, none of us were, other than the idiot in the Audi that almost hit him going 75. Didn't even slow down...

Seems like everyone who has a backup vehicle says NO, not in the snow. Yet a few drive it daily and snow is just something they have to do. If so, different tires seems to be the majority recommendation. I don't drive in the snow. I swing her big butt all over the place when it's warm and dry. On the few occasions I've had her in the wet, well I have done a 360 more than once, but most of the time it's just her butt trying to take the lead. Yeah, probably cause my foot might be a tad heavy, but at times, especially in cooler temps (40s), she swings her hips even when I'm gentle as a lamb. The cars a BEAST. It can bite your head off in an instant if you take her for granted.

I accidentally drove mine in the snow. Went inside work (no windows) with the sky perfectly clear. Came out 8 hours later, about 2 inches of snow. I started in 3rd gear everytime I stopped. Turns are no fun.

instead of buying winter tires, buy yourself a winter beater
