Garage List
I had a 1985 Mustang GT with 225s all around (similar to photo) and as soon as the snow hit in Plattsburgh NY...at the top of the state, I would need 2-3 guys to give me a push to even get out of my parking spot.... Forget about driving down the road once it snowed. Then after I put real snow tires on, skinny tires in fact, I had a high-powered mule. We'd get 2-3 feet of snow per snowstorm and the mustang was surefooted and zero accidents.

So, can't really say whether or not wider snow tires would have performed as well, I just know what "real upstate" new yorkers would recommend and it wasn't go wide...it was go skinny.

I'll be interested to see how your 245s work.
