As winter arrives, we return to the eternal debate over which tires and motor groups are most suitable to overcome winter barriers.
It's a debate that can sometimes become too hot “ ”, despite the cold weather. This time, the topic is to compare moving with all wheels and front wheels.
Clearly, moving with all wheels will better transfer power to the ground, but acceleration is only part of the journey. Return and ban are far more important issues in the winter, and while driving 4584 can offer some advantages on the turns, the braking is not also very important.
Here we come to the main question: is driving a car with all the wheels in winter conditions and good tires for all seasons (all season), or is the winner perhaps the front movement combined with winter?
Jonathan Benson from the YouTube channel Tyre Reviews tried to answer that question by comparing two Minutries S, one of whom uses a system with all wheels. That car moves with the Goodyear Vector 4Season Gen 3 tires throughout the season, while the front - wheel version has Goodyear UltraGrip Performance + winter tyres.
In his test, Benson compared acceleration on a flat surface and a hill, braking, a circle in the snow and treating these two cars.
The moving mini with all wheels wins safely on flat terrains and hills, however, the advantages of moving with all wheels end here. In the braking test, the step - wheeled mini stopped just faster, though this is not a big change when it comes to the emergency ban, it can mean a lot.
As far as treatment was concerned, the front wheeled mini in winter tires was slightly more direct than his 4584 counterpart, though the change is also minimal. Clearly, a car with all the wheels and winter tires would run “winter”.
On the other hand, the performance of cars with all wheels and tires for all seasons is relatively close to a car with front wheels and winter tires, at least when it comes to Goodyear.
Still, front - wheel tyres and winter tires came out just over the tires of moving with all wheels and tires for all seasons. /Telegraphy/
