Hey guys, I've hand the stang out durning these last couple of snow storms here in Jersey, figured I'd give you my 2 cents on these's tires.
Car: 06 Mustang GT
Modds: CAI, tune, 4.10 gears.
tire size: 255/45/18
Tires: Sottozero 240
Old tires: Hankook v4 all seasonal
I’ll start this review with my opinion on the tires in the dry. The only thing I like more about my Pep Boy tires is they did not “pull” with the road. The Sottozero will pull on any imperfection on the road. For anyone who lives in or near South Jersey, the Cherry Hill Police most think I’m drunk some times when I drive down RT. 70. However, I’m use to performance tires “pulling” and have no problem dealing with it (for now). The traction is a big improvement and the car handles much better (good as its getting for a mustang on stock shocks). I have no experience with driving my car on an actual “snow” tire but these “winter” tires can be driven year around.
I’ve had the chance to drive the car in two snow storms, one being considered “blizzard” conditions. The car will at times still kick out at a dead stop however it’s been reduce tremendously and for the most part, I can get going with no problem with minimum spin. My girlfriend feels as though the car handles tremendously better in the snow vs. last year with the hankooks. I’ve hit a couple spots of black ice on 295 and I don’t know how much I can blame the tires but there is NO traction what so ever. Without a doubt the car has minimum wheel spin and when the car does go sideways (sometimes on purpose lol), there is a lot more control!
Overall, I give the tires 4/5 stars for an overall performance. The tires are a little expensive; I have not had the chance to compare them to other winter or even snow tires. Like most “performance” tires, they do “pull” on roads to which some people, that may be unacceptable.
