Well, It's supposed to snow 6+ inches tonight so I took the mustang for probably the last run in 2010 last night. It was 24 degrees out and the car ran like a raped ape....always dose when it's cold. I always hate this time of year because I know that it will be months before I can pull the car out and run it again. I put about 50 miles on it last night driving it around town and had a blast! QUESTION.......I have ran my BF Goodrich DR's for 3 summers now and have been told that I will probably want to replace them this spring. Obviously I do not beat this car too bad for I have plenty of tread left on the tires....Is it a good idea to simply replace them due to how long I have had them? How long have you guys ran your DR's? Being a mustang owner in the midwest sucks when the snow is flyin!!! Happy Holidays!
warm weather guys stay away...I don't want to hear it lol

The worst that will happen is they will get a little hard and mabye not be as sticky next year, if they still had tread on them i'd run em till they were at least down to the wear bars. I usually run my drag radials till the belts are just about showing. Tires are too expensive, and i like burnouts too much.

it sucks some times but it also gives you a reason to lift your trucks and go play in the snow

yeah come sunday night I should find out how my escape is in the snow. only had it since september.
Eh, awd drifting is kinda fun 
How old are the tires? There should be date codes on the tires. 5-6 years is the max age. Drag radials might get a little harder with the cold, but they should be good for maybe 1 more summer,

yeah jersey shores been getting more snow than us last year and this year. I was in Avalon a week and a half ago and there was snow on the beach and boards. I think it warms up a little for January and February and we dont get as much as last year.
The Escape is ok in the snow needs to be higher though.

I agree, you could also put it on jack stands to take the weight off the tires.
It was 24 degrees here this week so I can reply to this right?
