The Truth About AWD and Winter Tire Safety
The biggest myth in winter driving is that all-wheel drive is enough to keep you safe. While AWD (a type of drivetrain that sends power to all four wheels) helps your vehicle accelerate in snow, it does not help you stop or turn. In fact, a heavy AWD vehicle on all-season tires can take longer to stop than a front-wheel drive car with dedicated winter tires. The truth is, your tires are your vehicle’s only point of contact with the road, and they are what truly provide the grip needed for braking and cornering on ice and snow. Even with a high-performance drivetrain, mastering proper braking and turning techniques is key to safe winter driving.Learn more -
