- Well technically this video more pertains to the crown Vic, this will definitely pertain to any other rear wheel drive car. Get yourself some decent snows!

Thanks for this video
I run studded Cooper Evolution snow tires in rear on my CVPI with 200 pounds of sand. No issues in the snow of upstate NY.
*Laughs in Floridian*
The crown vic is my first vehicle, all I ever knew was rear wheel drive and honestly it doesn't do bad in the snow. Very good grip and handling all winter.
I never thought Crown Vics to be awful in the snow. But then again until previous years I really never drove another car in the snow. It’s just knowing your limits, knowing the cars limits and knowing how to compensate for both.
Thank you for this informative breakdown. I purchased a crown vic earlier this year and I've been thinking recently, I think I should get snow tires. So, from a woman who owns a vic, thanks for driving the point home. I'm about to order them now.
Absolutely. Even if these videos only help one person, they’ll have accomplished my goal. Drive safe!!
I drive a grand marquis in quebec send bag are usefull if you get stuck just put some sand on ice and your good to go also winter tire are mandatory on all four weels in my province
Good advice. I always have sandbags in the trunk during winter, dual purpose extra weight and traction aid.
Excellent video
Real men run bald all season tires on their Vic!
lol I’ve tried that, it didn’t work well for me. I’ll stick with meaty tread on the snows!
After posting this I realize that some of the audio is a bit wonky and I definitely should’ve turned my phone lol My apologies guys I am absolutely not a professional lol
Getting ready for my first winter with a Grand Marquis this year in western PA. Already picked up a set of four snow tires and going to be getting sand to put in the back. I’m used to FWD cars but still have ALWAYS bought snow tires for all four corners.
That’s correct, sandbags and snows on all 4 wheels is the best bet.
Where are it in in western pa?
It kind of seems like Goodyear discontinued these specific tires. Do you have a recommended replacement?
Yes! This winter I’m running the Sumitomo Ice Edge and they’re amazing, they actually preform better than the Goodyears that were on the car in thus video.
@@wjyethanks so much! Gonna look into those.
what's even scarier is the fact that this is only 9 months ago and now we're almost back to snow season, that's global warming all right °^°
Each season is 3 months, 4 seasons in a year. The three non-winter months would always be 9 months.
I have a 16 charger police
Can i run the snow tires all year?
Not a good idea. Snow tires are a softer tire compound, to provide the best grip in cold and icy conditions. In summer, the hot temperatures and the softer rubber compound of snow tires will make them wear very quickly.
Front wheels also steer
Exactly why it’s best to have all 4 snow tires if possible
@@wjyei’m a broke teen and i’m not sure if i can afford a full set, would 2 on the back be sufficient?
Preaching
Let me get something straight love the crown Vic I would trade my BMW for one in a heartbeat anyway snow tires are a waste of money a regular All season will do the job just fine
I'm assuming you don't live somewhere that gets substantial snow. Snow tires are definitely NOT a waste of money. Snow tires have different rubber compounds that are designed to stay soft in the cold temperatures so the tires will grip, theyve got specially designed sipes to eject slush and water for maximum traction in the cold. You might look on paper and say "All seasons are just fine, why do I want to buy snow tires just cause I can stop 5 feet shorter?" That 5 feet could be the difference between sliding thru a crosswalk and hitting someone or actually stopping in time. Not to mention I've owned 10 Crown Vics and every single one I drove with all season tires absolutely sucked in any kind of deep snow over 4-5 inches. If you live in a place that doesn't get more then a few inches of snow a year, then yes, snow tires aren't worth it. If you're like me and you live in a place like Buffalo, where it just dumped 4 feet of snow us last night, you need snow tires.
What do you think about standard snow ❄️🌨️ tires vrs studded snow tires? I'm assuming the studded ones are really only good for ice 🥶 and not so much the snow and quite 🔊 loud!
Studded snow were the best I ever ran in the snow and ice. If you could do studded, they’re fantastic. The tire itself will have more of an effect on winter traction then studs or no studs
Studs are loud for sure, but unmatched traction on the ice with them.
@@wjye Do you think studded ❄️ tires would break off or wear down immediately on dry roads that are plowed during the winter months? Could they be professionally installed, replaced, and removed if you decided you didn't want them?
@@whiteviper1979 once they’re in there kind of in the tire. I don’t think they can be removed. They won’t wear down immediately on dry pavement. They’ll be loud and noisy, but they won’t wear down. You may find that you’ll lose a few studs over time but that’s normal. I think they can be replaced too.
