been in the snow yet??

Hello jacob67. I too plan to fully use True Blue #1896 this winter here in Toronto. It hasn't snowed up here yet, but it will...it always does.

I'm glad to hear of your experience. I've been telling people since '97 that these newer Mustangs aren't half as bad as everyone THINKS they are in the snow! I've previously had my '97GT and '99GT as daily drivers in the winter, and never had any problems with them. All you need is good winter rubber (I had Blizzaks), some solid weight in the truck, and a bit of common sense and rear-wheel driving skill.

Although not a fan of the Mustang's Traction Control system at all, one push of the little button switch and "OFF" it goes.

Unless you plan on keeping your Bullitt for decades, and in showroom condition all that time, there's no reason NOT to get full use out of our Mustangs all year round.

Ride on jacob!

Absolutely right, Karl! It doesn't matter WHAT people drive, you HAVE to adjust your driving in the winter. I can't believe the number of total idiots I see every winter in the ditches and sides...and most of them are just single-vehicle incidents where the driver thinks they're invincible in their new SUV or minivan. All-wheel drive or not, you can't get away with going fast---and expecting to stop anytime sooner.

I also can't get over how many people think that their "all season radials" are the cure-all for every weather condition. All season tires compromise on BOTH dry and wet/snow conditions---giving you less than you should have in either situation.

For those of us that may not have experienced it or know it yet, our factory Goodyears are horrible tires! Anyone who's driven our cars in the rain knows. And in the summer, they're much too easy to break loose. These tires were cutting-edge technology back in 1984! Not anymore.

For those who still haven't experienced their 'stock' Bullitt in the winter, don't even THINK of waiting for the first snowflake before getting some winter rubber and rims.

Happy motoring. USE YOUR BRAIN!

Hello Marty. I had 200 lbs. of steel laying flat in the trunk of my '97 and '99 GTs (hey, I'm a steel salesman, it was an easy option for me) and this really helped keep the tail firmly planted in snow and ice.

Fortunately, I also had the superior traction of Bridgestone's famed Blizzak tires. I have yet to see or hear anyone have better results from a TRUE winter tire. And that's part of the dilemma; in my opinion, those of us that do drive our Mustangs in winter HAVE to give up a fair amount of 'performance' and go with a strictly winter-type tire. It ain't sexy, but man will it ever save your arse!

I live and drive in Toronto Canada, and for the most part, there are very few stretches of time with constant snow-covered streets. That's in part why we pay such huge taxes up here...to get our city streets and highways cleared quickly and often. So, the remainder of the time is usually just wet slop which freezes and turns to ICE PATCHES overnight! I need the security of icy traction more than snow.

Today's tire companies have come a very long way over the past couple of years, and most offer a great combination of ice and snow traction options (depending on your needs). GO WITH TRUE WINTER TIRES AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
