- Today I went into the biggest snow storm of the year (so far) in my 2018 Mustang Ecoboost. It was....exciting.

love how you said '' im flooring it right now'' when that is the worst thing you could do if you want to build momentum on snow
I want to say, I daily drive an '07 Mustang GT year round up here in Wisconsin. It's not difficult in snow just have proper shoes ;) I have Blizzak WS90's on my baby and she trucks on through 5" and she's lowered on Eibach Sportlines (2" drop).
Hmm. Winter tires for two days a year it snows…nah, I’ll keep the pirelli ;)
You need to learn how to drive in snow
It’s called having the right tires. I have dedicated winter tires and I never slipped once in snow with my mustang.
No point of spending all that $ for the 2 times a year it snows here. It was merely a demonstration and not executed the way I expected.
@@ArchesMechanic Winter tires arn't just for the snow haha. Anytime the temperature reaches below 45 degrees *winter weather* all season tires begin to harden. But winter tires stay soft. Definitely helps in a RWD vehicle when its raining or having ice on the road.
@@rogerlee6289 Bet you won’t last in 3 feet of unplowed snow in a RWD car with snow tires…. Maybe in a foot of snow, but I guarantee that an AWD vehicle will plow through snow without snow tires with no problem compared to RWD vehicle.
@@NATEDIZZLES813You gotta think, back in the 30’s -60’s , all you really had was rwd. They made it work .
It's all about the tires. Car doesn't matter dummy. I've been driving my 2015 through the past 5 north east winters
ha? what do you mean the car does not matter? so you mean, awd is a myth? lol. no, car matters, tire matters, transmission matters... but the driver matters the most if this is what you wanted to say... I can drive anything on ice but that doesnt mean they are all same. I can drive an STI on ice with no effort but an RWD car take a bit effort. that applies for snow as well.
awd-fwd-rwd
manual-automatic
winter tire-all season tire-regular tire
so the better option is the combination of the ones on the left as you go right you will start having trouble on the ice.
Damn
@@ibrahims.h.4403 smh, tires is all you need, yes it helps but it’s not needed
Front wheel and all season would probably struggle a bit too, winter's a must. I do like the feature where it cuts off power and you don't just spin the wheels, probably helps quite a bit
So you like TCS akaTraction Control System...it's handy when you're actually driving along at 35-45 but a bitch when you try to get moving, little spin of the wheels and it's bogging your engine down hard (at least in my '07 Mustang GT). 7 winters in and haven't ended up in a ditch yet! *knocks on wood profusely*
I slapped some bridgestone blizzaks on my mustang and winter is no longer a problem.
It's not hard, it's fun :)
Manual is better when driving in the snow, plus winter tires and the snow mode probably helps too, but I never use it. But driving a car like this in the snow is pretty fun. Got a big and wide parking lot I take my mustang too when it snows, always a ton of fun.
The only problem with putting snow tires on a car here is that it only snows like this once a year. Not worth the time/money.
@@ArchesMechanic Fair enough, I've driven mine on summer tires after a snow storm down a very sketchy dirt road with deep ditches on either side and it handled fine to be honest. It had been plowed a couple times though. Waiting on a big snowfall here so I can go do donuts, enjoyed the video though! Pretty comfy!
OmG...I bought a 2006 Dodge Charger in early March 2020 and I noticed that it would slide all over the road too and struggle to go over runts too!!! I named my car Faith Pampered Princess II...aka Surfer Girl...because she would slide so damn much!!! I havVe all season tires like I used to with my other cars but driving my charger over very wet heavy snow was friggen scarrrrrry yesterday as our city got completely dumped on with lotttts of snow!!!😱😱😱ThankS deeply for sharinG your views about your Mustang...I think that they weren't meant to be driven much in the winters in heavy snow!!!✌😇🌎🐿🐇☕☕☕
Do u need winter tieres to drive Mustang in the snow?
Wow this goober doesn't even say thank you for the push
If you drive a Thunderbird in the snow it makes you hard. 😊
dude I have no idea why the comments are mean. I thought it was a great video, keep it up
gets the right shoes and the one that are studdable. when needed stud the rear ones
Every time I have to drive mine in the snow, I'm saying the same thing. "This is so stupid." Often followed by a torrent of profanity. Also, agreed when it comes to disabling traction control. When it's on, it just pulls the power and won't go anywhere. At least with it off you can kinda power through the ice....albeit sideways.
Cars and tires are like shoes, you wouldn't wear dress shoes playing Basketball.... While some have success with mustangs in snow they dont actually have a lot of snow and are using winter tires... While if your driving in real snow, which is over 1 foot you should only drive 4x4 if your going to buy a mustang in an environment where it snows like that you should also buy a winter beater or not expect to drive on big snow days.... I have a 2016 Mustang GT and never drive it int he winter, we just got 15 inches of snow today where I live and got through it like a boss in my 2009 4x4 escape. But I was curious how my Mustang would have done which is why I came to your video.... BTW dont floor it in the snow if your just starting off from a dead stop ... You might have better success in the snow going up hill if you take traction control and advanced track off (obviously test it first in a parking lot to see if your driving skills allow you to drive still like that) To do this is the same in both escape and mustang, when TC is on hold the button to turn off, but instead of clicking it hold it for 10 seconds and it turns everything off. This will stop your car from bogging down.
We get snow like this 2 times a year and it’s gone by noon the next day. I agree with your statements. Thanks for watching!
I have summer pzeros on my mustang ecoboost and managed in winter in scotland with them on, manual car is better in snow than an auto too 👍
I have a 19 gt and I just got stuck in my driveway for 2 hours. Right at the incline where the sidewalk/street is. im in NY and were getting quite a bit of snow. I even shoveled much of it and still had issues.
I would not go over 30 mph in that car in the snow
no cap 😂
Did you have on winter tires?
Please can you precise what tires you have in this video ???
If you drove this car with the stock Michelin Pilot or Pirelli so in this snow I can tell you that it's very stable !!!! , but if you drove it with Winter tires than it have 0 grip :)
Techno Max stock pirelli. Maybe I just have a heavy foot 🤷🏻♂️
Just put good winter tire
Are you driving in snow/wet mode?
Did you have advance trac on with traction control on and snow/wet mode?? Having those all on simultaneously might have made it a lot better for you
Robert Monteagudo with advance trac on the car was only able to accelerate very very slowly. Not safe when pulling out into traffic. At least with spinning the tires I know they’ll see snow to warn them before they hit me.
@@ArchesMechanic what setting on an s197 would you recommend for driving on a steep mountain with tight turns. Im just scared the Tc or abs would kick in and I’d end up in a crash😔
@@snipdips4863 I haven’t had any experience in the s197. Sorry!
@@ArchesMechanic I have manual transmission mustang gt will it be good to drive in the snow
@@christiansamazingvideos3682 I actually don’t really drive this car in the snow since I have other options but when I do I try to avoid highways. Then again they suck at plowing here
And I've made a bracket with a Jeep under it. I press that button and, well, video over
Muscle car not sports car a sports car is a corvette or a Lamborghini
When its below 30 or something it seems like our 18gt pp1 (6sp)get stuck in snow mode and wont let me change until its warmer.
Did you have on winter tires?
Nah. Just the stock pirellis. Winter tires don’t make sense here since it snows like this 3-4 times a year and usually melts by the next morning.
@@ArchesMechanic awwww i see
Well duh then
@@mihailhidler5400 exactly I drive this car with alpines in the alps with no issues.. and its the 5.0l
Or you buy winter tires. Like most would.
babo shesho winter tires would be useless. It snows 3 times a year here.
Snow tires are also for cold weather not only for snow dummy
You don’t know how to drive in the winter. It is you not the mustang. I drive mine in the snow with all season tires and have never have problems. You can’t drive a mustang in winter the same as you would in summer
Subscribe2me ForNoReason teach me
RWD vehicles suck in the snow even with winter tires. AWD FTW!!
Hello, I dnt see your tires,, snow tires ? Michelin ??
Jérémie G. ToPzJ' stock pirelli.
@@ArchesMechanic all season ??
Jérémie G. ToPzJ' yeah
Turn off traction wtf
You probably should’ve made a video like this, because the mode was definitely working properly. Just your input and what you wanted it to do it override it obviously...on top of it trying to make the system work properly. All that nonsense was you behind the wheel. Because if you read the manual of what it actually does it was doing it, and your input was vetoing the whole concept.
Chad Thomas it was doing what it was suppose to. That is it is suppose to keep the tires from slipping. When a rear wheel drive car is on a slight hill with almost no weight in the back...it’s not going to gain traction no matter how well the system works. Hence...it sucks to drive in the snow
Arches Mechanic the title of the video say the snow/wet mode SUCKS. How can it suck when it was working...had nothing to do with the mode. User error.
Chad Thomas agreed. Title should say driving in the snow sucks
