The mustang is driveable in winter with or without snow/winter tires although much easier with winter tires. The main difference you'll see between your FWD tempo and a RWD mustang is that it's a whole new ballpark when it comes to winter driving. Your tempo had the drive wheels, steering, and weight of the engine all up front and the mustang has the steering and engine up front but the drive wheels in the, much lighter than front, rear. In my own experience this equates to 2 things: 1. the rear can loose traction more easily and once it does it'll remain that way as long as the tires are being spun by the engine. and 2. Should the front wheels lose traction, most if not all steering will halt and the rear wheels will drive you straight into what ever is in front of you. With all said it can be done, just requires caution and time to learn the new skill because one thing is definite with or without snow tires it's nothing like winter driving in your temp.
