Driving a Mustang in the snow of Yosemite?

If the snow is not falling, the road inside the park will be clear by park service. Although, you will have to have chains or cables (I like cables) on your vehicle. You can get cable (at a reasonable price) in Fresno. I wouldn't buy sand, you must go that route you can always buy sand right before leaving Fresno at The home depot or Lowes.

If you need other advice on to get there, feel free to e-mail me.

Here's the view point of an ole timer-back in the 40's,50's,60's when nearly all the cars in North America were rear wheel drive, we did get around in snow, believe it or not all you modern day experts, and we didn't have road side assistance. No one, or nearly no one got four snow tires. you got a pair for the rear drive wheels . That's where you wanted traction,and generally the bigger the lugs the better.Most people bought their snow tires one size smaller than their regular tires, for two reasons- it shifted the front to rear weight ratio slightly, and the rear wheel would easily follow in the larger tracks made by the front tires.It was also common practice to reduce air pressure in the tires- the most common normal was 28lbs- so winter 25lbs.This provided a little more flex to the tire treads and hence better grip. Many people carried two sand bags in the trunk, for a little extra weight on the traction wheels, a shovel and tow rope,and extra fuel. We learned to drive on snow packed roads, icy roads, rutted roads,and slushy roads, approaching each situation gently but with purpose, applying our brakes with light pumping action, shifting down gradually in a standard tranny, or using neutral in an automatic box We moved forward ,often moving off in 2nd gear to avoid wheel spin, then maintaining as steady a speed.as possible to avoid side slips. It is really amazing at what a 3000 lb car moving a 25mph can go thru. And no quick steering manoevres. Lastly driver must be calm and not overreactive.

So, keep your cost down,since this is not constant situation-- two low priced winter tires mounted on regular steel rims-easy to put on,easy to remove.

Enjoy the great winter outdoors.

Many places out west require that you have chains or cables with you before you can even get on the road from September to May. I'd recommend cables over chains for a Mustang since they're smaller and will fit in tighter spaces than chains will. They're also easier to install and remove. A couple sand bags are also a good Idea as someone else said and for the reasons that person said.

Honey badger is correct. Don't bother with chains in a mustang in my opinion. The effort in putting them on and off is massive. You will use them once and never again. Buy real snow tires and bring a shovel. The snow tires are not cheap. I'd suggest all four tires

in case you haven't any longer have been given any journey using in snow, have somebody else force. as far because of the fact the automobile, they are no longer large yet a rear wheel force automobile can do ok in snow while authentic geared up and pushed.

yeah I've owned a couple of mustangs and I would definitely NOT do that. While mustangs are fine in southern california, I think you're better off driving a different car

snow tires , shovel . instead of weights get some bags of sand , use for weight and if needed can be opened and put on road for traction

You will need proper winter tires
