All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are just not enough

Laura Hasney - Wednesday, September 28, 2011


When it comes to driving in the winter with snow and ice all-wheel and four-wheel drive as well as ABS and traction control system are not enough to keep you safe. Electronic driving aids are good but it's the tires that create traction. These systems are only capable of manipulating or limiting your vehicle's acceleration, braking and cornering capabilities to the traction provided by your tires. Before winter hits, examine your tires for excessive wear. Consider snow tires over an all-season tire for the best traction in snow and ice.
