Snow tires are priceless! Best investment you'll make if you drive it in the winter. Yes, they do make that much of a difference ⛄❄️🌨️

I found a nice 4500$ Mustang on Kijiji and it might be my first car.

That tip about the gas is great I didn’t even think about that

I love how you guys have been really cranking out videos lately! Keep up the hard work.

[@cjponyparts]

LightningBlueMeanie thank you we are trying! If you have any ideas let us know!

[@xdjillusionx]

nice vid, but it's not the snow I'm worried about, it's the SALT. I keep my stang off the road till the rain washes off that rust loving SALT OF Satin.

Wax man, wax. Buffer and wax. 2-4 layers. You can get som from the 'Chemical Guy'. Good stuff.

[@affinity3281]

Get 4 snow tires. Dont risk 2. I drove through actual snow storms last winter in my 2017 GT. I had tools in my trunk for weight. People were stranded and spinning out and I got home safely. Its scary though this is the last winter I endure with the mustang.

[@premiumaccount4166]

I drove my 2015 convertible mustang in winter. No problems. All season tires.

david kucher thanks for watching!

True stuff..thx

[@andrewfox96]

Also don’t wash the car if the temperature outside is going to be below 20 degrees. Newer mustangs have problems with locking mechanism and your doors will not shut tight. I’ve got 2006 mustang GT and had to learn the hard way.

[@shredwerd009]

Appreciate the video. Looking at purchasing my first mustang to get on the V8 muscle car train before they phase out the engine. Have to trade in my truck for it so it'll definitely be a new experience driving in the winter.

[@JonnyMoto]

Great video. Though I would recommend kitty litter over salt for trunk weight. Salt is the enemy after all and kitty litter will also help you out if you dig yourself into a situation (so i've heard).

[@CommandoMaster]

Good tips

[@el_linchbarahona3493]

Thanks

[@aadler8986]

thank for tips, really helpful video. i got a garage and i park my car inside, that's really effective as well, but the worst thing is the SALT. I do rust proof coating every year but still you have to take it to car wash more often.

[@barick87]

Thanks for all the information... I do actually drive my mustang during winter.. It's actually helpful 😊

Is it a convertible?

[@forseti52]

Snow tires - note the performance rating of the tires - you do not want a lower rating on the rear vs. the front. that can cause the front to turn before the rear and put you into a skid situation. Lastly. drive slower in bad conditions. you never know when you are going to hit a patch of ice or packed snow on the road. Keep your head lights, fog lights, and rear lights cleaned off so that other drivers can see you and you can see them, or the random deer that happens across the road. Be safe and take it slow.

[@kizzthis9983]

I've driven it in light snow. it's dangerous. leave it home

[@MattChristie]

The last 3 winters my S550 has been stored but this year I'm sending it! Got some new Blizzaks, 140lb of sand in the spare tire well and I'm good to go! Planning on trading the car in come spring so not worried about it so much now.

Can’t ever go wrong with a mustang unless you living in the north 😂

CJ Pony Parts, I purchased a 2019 mustang GT with premium 1 package. The dealership didn't check the special order. I purchased it on 11-13-18. The rear tires and rims have the 255/40 R19. I have contacted Ford the dealership and the are both saying it's the other persons responsibility. Do you know or have any suggestions on what I can do or who to contact ? Thanks in advance

[@christineellwoodphotograph5596]

I throw a patio block in the trunk for weight.

[@qxwry2992]

Im 18 with a 2012 Ford Mustang first time driving In the snow I just got all 4season tires not sure if I should get the 4 snow tires any suggestions?

[@alabasterslim4397]

2 months through winter, then post a video of this!!!

[@fintan2830]

I'm watching this on 4th July 2021 and I don't have a mustang!

[@Angelmukwa]

Nice vid. Its lacking. You need to touch on diffential and differential maintenance. Alota mustangs have open differentials and are garbage on snow and ice. Next, stock mustangs are too low. If a person is going to use a mustang as a daily driver on snow, they should highly consider lifting the car a little. Even just 2 or 3 inches . This allows for more aggressive tires like grabber ATs to be able to be used. Most coil over shocks should be able to lift and lower, so if you want to use street tires in the summer you can. I wish ford would go the way of the charger and make a awd option for mustangs.

[@maxsimeck902]

what color is that mustang? It looks much better than the "grabber yellow" They offer...

[@MrThePsychologist]

i love mustangs but still afraid to get one due to really narrow roads here in europe and magne ride is expensive

[@twystedhumour]

i wouldn't. it's a long and wide car, and does well on American-size streets. it's really fun on twisted roads and on the highway, though.

[@Angelmukwa]

Lastly, i wish cj pony parts, would also cater to us northerners who live in snowy areas a bit more. Include lift kits and tips along with the lowering tips. Which for normal people in northern climates are useless.

[@Str8Bangerz]

I have the best winter driving tips. Don't drive a Mustang in the winter. Unless it's old and beat up. I wouldn't recommend driving a newer model in the winter. Roads are broken and the salt will ruin your Mustang.

[@bradbird8913]

Just bought a ecoboost base 235/50r18 coming from a 2012 genesis coupe. What winter tires would u reccomend most( as ill have to buy a new set) I'm looking at the bridgstone ws90 in a 235/55r17( want slightly bigger tire, smaller rim- this keeps speed difference near identical). Would you agree or should I choose a different tire/oem size setup

[@cjponyparts]

The Bridgestone is a good tire and that size should be fine for winter use.

[@bradbird8913]

Thank you, appreciate your input.

They are both rear wheel drive so they will be about the same .

U literally can’t drive with summer tires on. U lose traction and spin at the slightest bit of snow or incline.

dont listen to this guy. if you have another car that is awd or front wheel drive, use it instead. or take public transportation. you dont want to drive the mustang in the snow. he's here to sell you stuff.
