Will The CHEAPEST SNOW TIRES Actually Work On My 2019 MUSTANG GT? **CANADIAN WINTERS**
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ม.ค. 2021
- I recently bought the Nexen Winguard Sport 2 winter tires for my 2019 mustang gt. They were the cheapest set I could buy around my area at almost half price compared to competitors snow tires. We finally had our first snowfall so we got to take out the mustang and see how these cheap tires really hold up when it comes to winter driving. Tires are 275/40 19 in the rear and 255/40 19 up front.

Love that your drive your mustang in the snow! The real world feedback on what works and what doesn’t out in the cold is awesome. Thanks!
Thank you for watching. I try to make it all as relatable as I can
@@CanadianCruisin yeah and I appreciate someone who drives in the snow, who cares if it rusts rlly bc it’s a car. A car is metal, metal rusts. It’ll rust eventually and all of it can be replaced if you really need to but it’s not necessary
even the cheapest winter tires will be better than summer tires in the snow@@CanadianCruisin
@@AidenHamilton7
Unless it’s a Corvette and it’s not metal and won’t ever rust 😅
Driving starts @5:27
Snow tires are not just the 'bite' but mostly the compound/rubber texture,they are made of..summer tire's rubber gets hard in low temps when snow tires stay souple and grip/bite...also for a RWD car (front engine)..I suggest you put a couple 25 kg(100lbs) sand bags in your trunk..it will help for more/better traction ,and for most a manual trans is really the key for much better control of using 'engine braking'(instead of brakes) or starting in second gear when icy or up-hill...but again 4 proper snow tires is a must for such climate any other choice will be dramatic(and stupid )..so much fun to hit snowy country roads with a RWD..teaches you how to control/drift your car(even at slow speeds) and much improves anyone"s "dry" season's driving..!!..learning how to drive safely in winter makes you a much better/safer driver..(TOYO makes great winter tires ,I have some on my 2003 BMW 328I in the French Alps)...have fun and stay safe..
My cars auto and has the snow mode. It makes it so the car won't spin out. Just enough power to make the car move instead of hit the ditch like most mustangs haha
100lbs is 45kg btw
@@CanadianCruisinI have an Is350 F sport RWD. The snow mode button is a necessary feature for these sport cars in cold wet conditions. Limiting the crazy rear torque. I put a couple of sandbags in the rear of mine in any instance and it has perfect grip it would seem… just needed that extra weight. Good video btw.
Glad to see they work well especially on a Mustang !!
I was impressed
Too bad they don’t sell them anymore hence why there’s no link
I live near the Lake Eerie area and tired of spending money on a boring car for the winter, thanks for the video! I have a 2014 GT
Of course they do work. I have a set of very cheap chinese APLUS tires on my 2009 GT for three years now and they do their job just fine.
Nexen tires are great. I run a set on my coupe, and they handle pretty similar to Michelin.
I havent tried the michelins but im impressed with how well these work
I hail from USA PA where the winters can be brutal. Around here nobody but nobody cruises a GT in that kinda slop. It's almost forbidden cause you'd be in a ditch or slide off a mountain road. That's when I said hey I gotta see this dudes video hes from Canada. Impressive just pulling outta that parking lot. I'm doing research on those Nexens for my Challenger RT. I became a sitting duck at a stop light on an incline recently; I knew I had to change something. Great vid.
They work great. I still take it easy and if it gets to high I'll keep her in the garage until things get plowed at least. But I've never had any issues out there in the snow
Not sure if you experienced this yet, but are you able to go over small "snow banks"? ie. When a snow plough clears the road but leaves shoveled snow on your driveway, kinda creating a hump.
As long as the hump isn't so big that the car turns into a plow then you would have no issues.
@@CanadianCruisin Lol!
I hear cold starts all day I love when it get cold 😂
Me too💪
I am in the lower mainland as well and just picked up some nexens with steel rims, 235//40/18 to replace my summer’s the are 285/30/20 (Firestone Indy 500’s)on my 2018 Honda Civic Type-R. Thanks for the review, I feel confident in my choice now.
They work great for our winters here. I just need to book my car in to get them back on now
I'm in Germany and I'm rocking the stock All Seasons on the black accent package. It really shows how much of a difference it is with road maintenance.
The all seasons are pretty good as well. Just have to be careful thats all
@@CanadianCruisin Of course as always. We get much more fluffy snow here so it's a little different but overall, about the same as you'd expect!
In high school through college, I drove an old Japanese car that would fish tail on every turn in snow if I went more than 5 MPH. Accelerating from a stop would cause the same to happen. I'm looking at the GT now 23 or 24 and it seems solid enough with the right tires and a weighted backend. Also looks like you got a Bronco recently, which I've been thinking about that as an option too but I'm worried about the 2.7L issues.
Bronco is just a friend's car. Keeps some content coming while the mustang is down. It's got the 2.3L luckily. It's enough power for around town.
This is what I needed to see! Slapping a set of these on a GR Supra tomorrow morning.
I like how you explained that basically you could have all of the new technology built into these new cars, traction control, stability, control, snow, and ice mode. I think that most people think of those options as they have the safest vehicle in a storm. Oh, and all of those bells and whistles, and all of the advanced technology is very misunderstood, but the average person gives them more confidence that their car will never get stuck will never slide around, same with all wheel drive all of those options give a person full confidence because they can accelerate and move through the snow faster and safer because of all the things they have activated in their car but everybody seems to forget the most important factor which makes just about every vehicle no matter if you have every available traction option versus a car that’s in the mid-90s to early 2000s or for that matter older just because you can get through the snow better than everybody else but when it comes time to stop tires or tires they’re made out of rubber some tread patterns are a little better off than others, but rubber is rubber. So with that being said, there’s not that much difference when it comes time to stop in the snow some cars are heavier. Some cars are lighter some cars have antilock braking systems, which sometimes don’t help much so bottom line is just because you can move through the snow better than, the guy next to you doesn’t mean that you can stop any better than anybody else. All those electronic functions are useless when it comes time to have to break and slow down your car what is the most common vehicles in the ditch in a snow storm all Wheel Dr., BMWs Mercedes N SUVs . When you buy a new car, the car dealer should give a demonstration or a video to let the people understand better what all the electronic buttons and safety features do so they don’t get fearless and then cause an accident in the deep snow, because they’re a mess understanding what all those traction options and safety features mean and I bet if that could be accomplished when purchasing a new car, I bet our roads would be nitpicking amount safer, and make people aware that just because you go faster in the snow than the next guy does it mean you can stop any better
Hey man i cant find these tires anywhere im getting a 2019 in a couple of weeks and i need some snow tires
Check out 1010tires.com they might have some left
hello, I am planning to buy mushtang ecoboost please reply - does mushtang drives comfortably in snow or not whats your expeience.
You and I both know Vancouver doesn’t get that much snow. The most it last is a couple weeks. I whip my 392 charger with no problem in the winter.
I didn't buy them for Vancouver haha. I take mine up north so they won't let me on the highway anymore
Glad to see you have traction! Do you put weight in your trunk to give the back wheels more traction?
No extra weight yet. Maybe once the snow sticks around I will. It all packs down pretty good and turns to ice eventually so I might need it then
Wanted to get a new mustang well 2019-2020 was told no they are garbage in the winter you will spin all over so got a WRX. But I always said good snow tires and in snow setting the car would be fine. In south Alberta get decent snow but also get the chinooks. Even today heading to work saw a guy in his mustang having no issues.
I plan on getting a 15+ GT soon but was nervous because we get a decent amount of snow here in New England but this video convinced me I should be good as long as I get some snow tires, thank you!
You will be fine. Just take it easy and they go just as good as anything else
Studded work much better trust me 2016 mustang owner and I live in massachusetts also. Ebay you can get awesome prices for studded snow tires.
Nate The great ended up getting a good deal on some hankook snow tires online and they did better than I expected this winter, gonna buy a beater for next winter to keep miles and wear off the stang
@@joeylehtomaki9699 how’s the stang holding up
Henry put about 9k on it so far and it’s been the best car I have owned! I bought a 2nd gen ram for this winter to keep the salt off the mustang. Plan on saving up for boost soon.
Thanks for the vid bro! Im getting the same snow tires for my 19 5.0 as well. My first winter this year with my 5.0. I was skeptical about these tires but not anymore. Btw, nice 10 speed 5.0 bro
Hey man thinking of getting a mustang as a first car, also live in Canada. Would you recommend? Main concern is the snow and people telling me as a new driver its a bad idea. And worse case scenario if its extremely snowy I can always take my parents suv
As long as you have a good set of tires and drive carefully your fine in the winter. Just don't go to crazy because it is a mustang and will aim for the ditch haha
@@CanadianCruisin or crowds LUL
I’m looking at getting a set of 18x8 OZ rally wheels with 235 at all four corners
thanks for the review , i just bought some nexen sports 2
I mean people drove cars in the 40s & 50s in the snow, this is a modern car, as long as your not stupid and don’t have track tires or slick tires you’ll probably be fine. I have a 2019 gt with all season and haven’t had a problem. Just don’t floor it or expect to slide
Still daily mine as well. No issues so far
I am getting a gt you don’t have any problems?
@@Rizzocartel not any! I live in Ohio. We just had a snow. Just don’t expect to be to be to accelerate/stop right away on snow and you’ll be fine.
It’s barely snowed this year haha I feel so dumb for putting the car away lol
Lol. I told everyone that. Doesn't usually snow until February
I don't even live in the snow, why am I watching this? 😂
I have a 4x4 truck still I drive slow in the snow no matter what still one bad move and you can role over or go into the ditch
I just bought this tire for my q60. Here in Toronto will be fine I hope. Thanks for your videos
How was it?
You have the same voice of Ed helms or Andy from the office
😆
I am in position to buy 2019 GT, also black.. Would you rather buy that car, knowing you experience now. Or would you go for 2013 premium gt or 2008 GT500? All cars are super nice to see in person and they are all black 😁
Thank you for this review! Now I have to figure out how to get my goalie bag and both my kids hock bags into the car 😆
😂
drive safe out there!!
Always :)
What was the price on the tires i also live in Vancouver and havr a 2019 mustang.
I paid $1100 for all 4
@@CanadianCruisin thanks for the response👍
I'm getting these for my 2016 M4
Did you think about getting a whole new wheel setup with snow tires and just swapping wheels instead? I just got the same car and I’m not sure if I want to buy a set of cheaper rims AND tires or if it’s ok to just swap tires on the same rims each year
My plan is to eventually get new everyday wheels and tires and then these will just be my summer set. Otherwise I just get a cheap set to run for winter
First year in the snow with my 07gt so im a little nervous
Just take it slow and throw a little weight in the trunk and you'll be ok.
@@CanadianCruisin actually took it out today and its pretty rough out we just got a snowstorm and it wasnt too bad.
Awesome video thanks..👍
Thanks for watching. 😊
How is it In 6inches or more?
As long as you're not plowing through the snow it will go just fine. Just have to take your time
guys, will these tires be good for my passat b6?
How is the road noise of the nexen?
At 0:24 there’s black smoke come out of the Exhaust. Is that OK?
That's just the exhaust because its super cold that day. It wasn't actually black.
I tried to re park mine in winter. And it didn’t end well..
i drove it around when it was dry and clean. But if you want to drive it in Winter. Get sand bags to you truck, and winter grade tires. But still not worth it.
I still use my year round. Just have to take it slow even if there's no ice on the ground
Wait, do you use celcius or farenheit in Canada? I'm in the US.
Celsius. 😊
@@CanadianCruisin Got it. Thanx m8!
Hey Kyle,sorry it's been a minute since I've been able to check out your videos. Pretty similar here in Chicago, 1st snow hits and people are either over cautious or think they are road warriors. Are you able to give me a link for that phone mount on your windshield? That looks exactly like what I'm looking for. Is it adjustable for different size phones? Thanks man!
No worries man. I know what you mean about the superheros when the snow falls. They think they're invincible lol. The mount was from best buy but I can't remember the brand. Yellow and white box and was only 19.99. If I can find the link I'll send it :)
@@CanadianCruisin Thanks Kyle!
@@sublimegt500 no worries 😊
@@CanadianCruisin is that phone holder adjustable for different sized phones?
@@sublimegt500 yeah it is. If I remember right it holds most sizes of smart phone.
imma go buy me some of those right now
No complaints so far. They do vibrate a little at high speed. Like 200+kmh haha but not bad got a cheap snow tire.
@@CanadianCruisin yea imma go to my local tire shop bc my mom has a discount with her phone #. i saw some cheap ones but i dont like the rims, do you think they will let me change the rims?
@@CanadianCruisin the tires i saw are the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3
@@CanadianCruisin i also saw some tires from bridgestone, do you have any clue if they are good?
@@freshlikeyomama they should let you choose rims. It might change the price though. I heard the pirelli tires aren't bad. Most seem to go with the blizzaks from what I've heard.
Come to Russia and test it.
This is not a snow question. Are you still thinking about putting a rear louver on your back window. If you do there's a better way to make it stick. Mine did not stick well with 3m. So I went to Walmart to get Velcro industrial stick. And I will tell you it worked better then just using 3M. Have a good New year always enjoy seeing your video.
I'm still looking. Shipping sucks up to Canada so im debating on it still
So would you recommend these for a 2016 mustang GT? I
I would definitely recommend them. They are still new to me so I dont know how long they will last but so far so good.
@@CanadianCruisin Sweet, thanks. I live in Ontario and we’ve been getting some snow recently but luckily it melts after a day or so, hopefully these should do!
@@hamzehal-quq2869 for the price you can't beat it. We lucked out so far with the snow. Just a couple days here so far then back to rain
@@CanadianCruisin would you recommend for a chrysler 300s rwd?
@@WavyMaxy313 if they make the right size I would recommend it. They're pretty good for how cheap they are compared to the competition
So basically have winter tires and summers when owning a mustang I really want one but Texas is cold in winter and real hot in summer and honestly can’t afford a sports car that I can’t daily
Tires is all you need. I daily it and it goes through anything
How do you like them now? I'm thinking of getting them for my golf r this winter. I can get them 700-800 less than the high end Michelin or continental tires. Seems hard to beat I wanted something affordable, but still safe not like the really cheap ass chinese tires I could get.
Haven't got them back on the car yet but no complaints. Normal driving they do just fine
I got those tires for my mustang after watching this video and I love them! Do you have a recommendation for all-season tires for a similar deal?
I'm wondering why you wanted all seasons? I thought the idea is to get dedicated winter tires + a set of high performance summer tires and replace them in the spring and fall.
Throw a couple of bags of sand in the trunk and it will go even better.
There’s a bunch of snow here in Ontario :(
Ours is melted again for the time being
I have an 18 GT PP1 and just got here. Just ordered for the same setup you have. This will be the first year in the winter. Are you lowered, or stock ride height? I have an inch drop, this makes me worried lol.
Mine is lowered with steeds progressive springs. 1 inch in the rear and 1.25 in the front if I remember right. It went through like a champ.
@@CanadianCruisin Those are exactly what I have. I'm in Kitchener Ontario, you fill me with hope for the winter my friend. Did you ever add weight to the trunk? I never saw a second review in your playlist. It sounds like you were pleased overall with the season?
@@Eric79-f7i luckily in Vancouver this ended up being our snow for the year lol. With the snow mode it goes no problem. I made it one year with the pilot sports on still and we get lots of ice here. As long as its not deep enough to be plowing and you have a good set of winters on you should be ok
How is winter buddy
@@Rizzocartel It's honestly not bad. It can get a little tail happy on the down shifts if it's slippery. But once you know that, it's a non issue. I still drive it like I don't trust it, but it hasn't let me down.
It snowed here too !
Nice. At least I'm not the only one haha
@@CanadianCruisin ha ha ha
my mechanic said something about a rear wheel drive car with a limit slip dif doesnt do well in heavy snow, and that I would just slide around. I have Xice xi3's on my Ecoboost, hopefully I'm alright if I run into snow
You'll be fine. Just give yourself more room to stop and don't go to crazy with the speed 👍
@@CanadianCruisin alright thanks! I agree with what you said also about how snow tires do well in the rain and here in Portland that’s normally what I have to contend with
@Dan Avalon same here in Vancouver for the most part. You definitely feel more confident on the road with the pools of water everywhere with these on
I drove my 800hp whipple mustang in the snow....i dont recommend it
I forgot it’s Sunday today
Youll want to see next week's video
I have a wrx and it destroys the snow but I'm thinking of trading it in a year for a gt...600lbs more and 2wd are my only worries tho😬
Get a good set of tires and you will be alright. And you will definitely feel the extra 600lbs haha. Still worth it though. It's a great car.
@@CanadianCruisin thanks for the advice, have you personally ever gotten stuck in about a foot of snow in the stang? in Buffalo we get brutal winters sometimes lol
@@The_Animal_Man as long as it isn't plowing through the streets I take it out and haven't had any problems
Key to driving rwd sports cars is good tires, skinnier is better if the snow is deep as it cuts through snow to the road, studded tires is great if it gets icy where your at. But besides driving more carefully you should to plan ahead by checking the weather ahead of time and knowing when or if roads are plowed typically, other than that rwd is just fine as long as your not reckless.
im really considering trading my STI for a mustang gt premium with the PP1 package now with the digital gauges, i live in PA but we barely get snowadays anyway, bu I would still get winer tires for the winter.Im surprised you didnt even put the driving mode to rain/snow, it helped a lot in rain when I rented one.
The snow mode is awesome. I just wanted to see how the tires did on their own
@@CanadianCruisin Makes sense, I figured the driving mode would definitely be an extra help too, im tired of people saying these can not be driven in rain or snow as a daily driver all year around.
@KingZD1 I made it home on the pilot sports in the snow storm one day with snow mode so they have no issues in the snow haha
@@CanadianCruisindo you think the 10
Speed automatics is better for us who get snow/ lots of rain a year? Like does the 6 speed have wet / snow mode? Or that don’t do much on that?
@KingZD1 I'm not sure if the 6 speed has it. I'd think it would be up to the driver to choose the shift points and speed on a manual where on the 10 speed the car does it all and doesn't allow the tires to break loose even if your foots to the floor
Im debating for a mustang or bmw m340 i need your opinion.
Mustang over bmw any day
M340i homie. That B58 motor is a dream and smokes mustangs.
MBRP exhaust?
Awe touring catback
looking for some of the best top notch snow tires for my girls mustang gt, doesn’t need to be the cheapest, if anything i want the most expensive/most effective ones. also i live in CT usa if that helps what do you recommend?
Blizzaks seem to be the best ones from what I've heard.
@@CanadianCruisin gonna check them out thanks!
This is why a bought a AWD challenger 😆.
I wonder if the new mustang will have an awd option or not.
@@CanadianCruisin I doubt it
@@LamontBoucherville same here lol
@@CanadianCruisin your mustang sounds great. And I didn't think it snowed in BC 😆. I live in Calgary Alberta 😭
@@LamontBoucherville this video was filmed on our 1 day of snow per year 😆
When does the video content start? Does it ever start?
did you stud them?
No studs
No studs
No matter what tire they have they are always all over the road lol
Needs a driver mod then lol
Advice... less talking more doing
First! Hahahahah!!!
Nailed it again
Huh, 9th most expensive out of 20 snow tires in my common size, nice click-baitey headline bruh... Not gonna give you a view for that alone, they are NOT CHEAP!
you get what you pay for...very cheap tires will endanger your life
2nd haha
1st for Canada lol
jag sidhu . . . your #1 in my book brotha!!
I don’t care what you got for tires. I live in New England and my mustang stays in the garage till spring.
I find it's kinda 50/50 with most people. Either they park it or drive it haha. Ill keep mine out
maybe learn to drive
Get on with it and quit talking so much
That bar on the bottom is to fast forward 👍
