FalconPilot Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I must rant for a while. I live where it snows a lot. I have snow tires for my SS and my wifes Mustang. The Mustang does great in the snow with the snow tires. It goes places my 2wd S-10 didn't go! The Stock SS tires suck in the snow. You can go, but you can't stop. A good set of Bridgestone Winter Duelers and you can go and stop fast! With the snow tires, the SS is in it's element! Talk about FUN!! We both get very upset at the idiots that drive around at 25 MPH when there is a little snow, and slide all over the place. You can tell they don't have snow tires, and are scared to death to drive in the snow. If you have enough money to own a car, and drive in the snow, get snow tires and be safe. If you don't want to buy snow tires, STAY HOME and let those of us with a little brain power be safe. OK, I feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbents10 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I just leave the regular tires on and drive while looking through the side windows rather then the widsheild. Snow tires are nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitches040 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Two winters now with the SS and never had a problem with the stock tires. Yeah.... But there is something to say about a Northeast Winter..... My SS is great in the snow, until I need to turn, or stop pretty quick. Turning is the biggest problem. The Tires are so wide, and with all the slush and s#%@ on the roads, the tires just start to "hydroplane". BUT, I wouldn't trade the feeling of doing doughnuts in a parking lot of fresh snow, for nothing. Happy Motoring......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firered Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 The stock tires work perfectly fine in the snow. Pittsburgh just got hit with 8 inches last week, no problems at all with loosing traction.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woffski Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 The best thing is not to drive it in the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
