When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s......very few people had 4x4s....most everyone drove family cars in the winter....we got by somehow....some people put snow tires on in the winter....btw...I am from the Great Lakes.
I just learned that Ford won’t even build performance pack Mustangs during the winter because the summer tires get way too hard in the cold weather for them to properly safety test them before sending them to the dealerships. Crazy stuff! Enjoy your new sticky winter wheels!
If I were you, I would also pick up a set of tire cables for the rear tires. The cost is about $130 US. Keep them in your trunk; they will pay for themselves if they save you from one tow charge.
Luckily we don't usually get heavy snow here so I should have no issues. For the couple weeks it gets bad ill just use my pathfinder for a bit so the mustang doesn't have to plow through haha
There is a black s t a i n in the paint department at Walmart. In a small can. I took a chance and staying my louvers. Came out great makes them even blacker. You need to try it. Just get you a little sponge brush and you don't have to remove anyting.
@@WavyMaxy313 blizzak has great reviews but I figure I don't go to crazy in the snow and ice so cheaper tires and just take it easy and then work great so far
That is good deal all in I bought my Kumho winter craft WP72 but got the dealership to throw them on for free as I bought it on Dec 30 and the pzero don't like snow
Tried to get myself to watch the video, three times. Finally getting away to catch the whole thing. Great stuff! I just finished building out a mobile tech tool set in the trunk this month with the Homedepot black friday deals on the mid and high torque 1/2's. Spent so much cash on it all. But now i'm AAA out my trunk. lol
@@CanadianCruisin Exactly. Plus even have some instacoffee for a bad time sam incident. Just incase they need some joe. I don't drink coffee but it's good to have.
Interesting video. You should remind your viewers you live in the Vancouver area because you cannot drive a Stang with 275 rear tires in real winter conditions like we have in the rest of Canada. I drive mine with 18" blizzak and even with this far better set-up it remains tricky at times. I also think you should have gone 255 all around. At least you have that option because a couple of years ago that was not even an option and Mustangs with the perf. pack had to be stored here due to no winter tires being available where winter tires were mandatory .
I disagree. I have friends in Ontario that use their mustangs year round. Doesnt matter where in the world the snow is as long as your not plowing through it and know how to drive you will be fine.
i have the same tires on a similar mustang 2020 but im located in germany. they are 200 euro cheaper over here. i ve done 250 kmh multiple times with these tires on the autobahn. above 190 there is a light vibration but it s not sooo bad.
@@CanadianCruisin cant wait to switch back to the sport 4s thought. 1.5 month left! The sidewall on the 4s ist beefier and fills the wheel well on the stock suspension better. The nexen are a little bit thinner und it looks weird. The lowered setup on your car hides it!
@@mounzerchebbo1533 me to. Just feels safer with the ps4s. It does tuck the tires well but I know what you mean. I noticed when I was swapping them it was a little different
What do you mean scratch the wheels? Like the machine they used? And I always torque mine by hand as well. Ford calls for 150ft lbs so I want to make sure it's right haha
Hey man, I’ve been watching your videos for a while since I purchased a 2019 premium pp1 mustang gt! Almost identical to yours but I have slightly more options. It’s almost winter season here in Pennsylvania and I’ve been looking for winter tires. I am waiting for you to review those Nexen Winguard Sport 2s!
I'm hoping to find some snow to give it a good test lol. So far I can say in the rain they are much better. Thanks for watching and ill try and get it for you as soon as I can:)
@@CanadianCruisin thank you!! I am currently on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S’s haha! I’ve ripped a bunch of camaros and BMWs with those tires but unfortunately they won’t have any traction in the coming weeks. I’ve looked online for the same exact Nexen Winguard Sport 2 tires you’ve purchased. However I did not really find 255/40R19s for front and 275s for back. Which website did you get yours from since I have the exact same setup as yours.
@@CanadianCruisin I just checked the website and sadly the tires are sold out! Most of the available options are in the 200+ USD range. Are you aware of any other similar tires to the ones you’ve purchased? I have never purchased snow tires before always have used all season but they won’t do for the winter season here.
@@S117-f7q yeah the closer to winter we get the faster they sell out. I know a lot of people use blizzak tires but I think those are pretty expensive as well.
See. Since I want to do track days coming up. I'm trying to get a hold of the cheapest PP1 set rims I can get to put beaters on. Missed out on some nice ones on Black Friday, sadly. I went to sleep.
I have a problem with mold and mildew growing on the hood insulation pad. It's created by the hood vents (air extractors) when water leaks down after washing the car or exposure to rain. It is a common problem and I was wondering if you or any of your subscibers have run into this F-up? Not one of Ford's better ideas.
Can you talk about tire sensor. Should I keep it with new tire or buy new sensor for new set tire.. And what will effect to your car. It will give you engine lights for tire sensor.
If your sensors aren't there it will give you a message when the car is on because it's not picking up anything. You can use the factory ones on new wheels most of the time. I used the same wheels so mine work like they always have.
My suggestion is that you buy a full set of Michelin Ultra High Performance Pilot All Season 4 tires and drive them all year around. 😎 I live in Kansas USA 🇺🇸 where we get the full 4 seasons. Btw... they are rated ZR / 109Y up to 180 mph on my 2018 Challenger R/T Scatpack. Tread-wear 540 Traction AA Sidewall A.
@@CanadianCruisin ah fair enough. I'm going to look at a 2017 GT I've never been so excited to get a car. Currently have a 18 focus st as my "summer" car and I'm so over it the amount of money I've had to spend just to get 300hp. Unreal.
Depends how good of a driver you are lol. Anything over 4 or 5 inches i will start to plow so probably park it after that. Until the roads get plowed at least

Nice set up, been driving my S550 for six winter already and enjoyed it. Got size 17 all Bridgestone Blizzak on mine. Enjoy and drive safe.

I might one day. For now I dont mind the look.
When I first got these winter's I was a little worried but now I see your review, I feel a little better lol
For a rear wheel drive muscle car they do really well. I've never had any issued yet
@@CanadianCruisin That's good to hear because I also have a rwd car
I have a 2015 chrysler 300s rwd and my local tire shop told me about these. I had the blizzak tires on my min but they are expensive
@@WavyMaxy313 blizzak has great reviews but I figure I don't go to crazy in the snow and ice so cheaper tires and just take it easy and then work great so far
Blizzaks are on my gt pp1 premium 19 and I take it up the mountain to go snowboarding at mt Spokane

How do you get them to not scratch your wheels and holy moly, hand-torquing lugnuts instead of just slamming them on with an impact?
What do you mean scratch the wheels? Like the machine they used? And I always torque mine by hand as well. Ford calls for 150ft lbs so I want to make sure it's right haha
you should get another set of wheels for winter bolt on and off
I plan on getting some new summer rims next year so these will end up being my winter set anyways. Otherwise I would have got a cheap set for sure

Same tires including DIA rims It cost me $1700.00 including tax in Toronto
Not bad. I plan on getting a new set of rims next summer so ill keep these as my winters
how does getting rims with winter tires work? do they come together? or can I use my current mustang rims when I buy winter tires?
How come no winter rims?
I'm planning on getting new summer rims so these will end being the winter set eventually.
Why did you put 275/45R19 instead of 275/40R19?
Nice new Rubbers !! But I am Sad that your car will be driven in the winter 🥶..

@@xxsilver_gamingxx389 everyone thinks the way to regain control is more throttle for some reason lol
could i get a link for the tires? thanks
Go to 1010tires.com put in your vehicles year and model and it will show you everything and if they're in stock still
What about Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 275-35 R19/96 V winter performance.
I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
I heard blizzak is great but they're also a lot more expensive
Thanks
Imagine they make an AWD mustang, it’d be easier for traction 😱 idk it might be as cool as the Trackhawk
That would actually be pretty awesome
Good vid. You should take the louvres off. Car looks better without them.
Thank you. I don't mind the louvers. Maybe ill take them off one day
How many inches of snow does it take to get stuck?
Depends how good of a driver you are lol. Anything over 4 or 5 inches i will start to plow so probably park it after that. Until the roads get plowed at least
