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.

I had
that car! Same year, same color. In the winter, it wouldn't even move on the driveway, and I'd switch to my RWD Mercedes 190E with skinny snows.
