Huh? Why would you be looking for "slicks" to use in the winter?

Then slicks are not what you want. You want something with a higher treadwear rating. I don't live where it gets icy much so I don't know the 'best' type but slicks definitely aren't the way to go (IMO)

What type of tires do you currently have?

Slicks are not DOT approved, meaning you CANNOT drive around town with them.

Kumhos suck. I have a set of 7/11s on right now for the winter and they spin like crazy! IF your going to do some near slicks I would do BFG KDW D/Rs the scariest DOT tire in the rain and cold

Killa, slicks are drag radials are meant for track use, and track use ONLY. Otherwise, your going to be slipping around the road like a wet seal. Where do you live, and how much snowfall is there?

I would honestly recommend that you not drive in the snow with your mustang. Even if you have snow tires, you are going to need chains. Ideally, you should have a AWD truck with snow tires if you live in harsh winter conditions.

You can have the best snow tires on the market, and STILL need chains on your mustang to safely drive, if the roads are snowy/icy. I know in CA, chains are required by law in snowy conditions (for cars that aren't AWD or 4X4).
