Default Cobras in the snow

This morning, the weather prediction was maybe snow flurries. Decided to drive Cobra to the office. It started "flurrying" as I parked at 8A.

By noon, there was an appreciable build up of snow. Time to test the 4 season car concept. Diff is 8.8 Ford posi. Tires are deep cleated 235 front/275 rear 17" radials. How do they grip in snow?
Surprisingly...quite well!!!

So this preception of Cobras can't drive on wet roads, much less snow is BULLSH!T. It all depends on the tires you put on your car.

Falken 451's are not rated as a mud & snow tire, but the deep cleats faired out well in snow. Falken Ziex tires are rated as mud & snow tires.

Anyway, I'm pleased to say that snow, and winter driving didn't slow the Coobra down.
