So in the D.C. Area we got 2 feet of snow and after shoveling my 2016 ecoboost out and taking it out to perfectly cleared streets my mustang begins to shake incredibly. Tire pressure was fine, no obstructions visable in any way. Any others experienced this before?

I'm sure others will chime in with a similar answer to mine. But barring anything crazy, some snow/ice has gotten stuck on a wheel somewhere that's affecting its balance. It will melt at some point.

If you have the means/change-of-clothes to look underneath you might even see something on the inside of your wheels.

My buddy's Challenger did the same thing to him today. I'll wait it out til it fully melts. Thanks for the help.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Just run it through a car wash.


One other thing? Mustangs suck in the snow.

FWIW, so far, fingers crossed, mine has been phenominal on snow and ice with Blizzak tires. Up and over mountain passes, etc.

Far from it. With a good set of winter tires it will be as good as a FWD on all seasons.

On bald tires with no suspension, my truck is still better.
