Default How behave All-weather tires on ice and snow, look for feedback

I just bought a few weeks ago my 08 Bullitt which is equipped with stock all-weather tires. As leaving in Minneapolis (MN), everyone tells me "you are not going do drive this in the winter, aren't you ?" and this start to scare me. So can anyone bring me some feedback on driving a Mustang or RWD in the winter with All-Weather tires ? Should I fit genuine Winter-Snow tires for the season or buy something else more drivable on snow and icy roads ? Appreciate your feedback.

Default Tires

If you are planning on driving your Mustang in the winter months in Minnesota you should definately look into a set of winter tires. They will help provide more grip so you don't end up just spinning your tires all day long. Your best bet to save a little cash and time in the long run would be to get a second set of wheels for the car as well. That way you don't have to go to the tire shop every winter and spring to get the tires changed around. As for the tires themselves, Pirelli makes a good one called the Winter 240 Sottozero. I used to live near St Paul and I know what winter driving can be like. You will definately want to consider winter tires.
