Chuckle every time I see a BMW on the news sliding around... unable to even get up it's own drive
Front engine + RWD + summer tyres is such a stupid combo!!

In a 4 wheel drive the engine will brake all 4 wheels at the same time so you will stop quicker as a FWD, also with winter tyres you will corner better and stop better as all 4 wheels are driven at the same time.I definitely agree that winter tyres in these conditions are beneficial.
However, to potentially open a can of worms, isnt quattro only good for setting off and driving in a straight line in this weather? When it comes to braking, 4wd is not going to slow you down any quicker than 2wd, and when you corner, you are subject to exactly the same centrifugal force as a 2wd car and likely to slide off the road.
Ive seen quattro videos on youtube, ive even seen a video of a subaru wrx impreza towing an artic lorry out of a snow drift. However, all of the videos demonstrating 4wd ability in the snow only show them going in a straight line or up hills...
even better when you have proper winter tyres fitted to your quattro like I do....
ha ha ha ha...... bring on more snow.....
i only have 2 wheel drive and iv never got stuck with my audi i think its mostly about your driving styli tbh and i maybe wrong for asking this but can some explain to me how a 4wd stops faster as thats a new one to me
I must cherp in here...
My missus is 34 weeks pregnant and had a proper rough time throughout her pregnancy. Hyperemesis, SPD and pre eclampsia!
Yesterday was her baby shower and after inviting 40 people only 5 confirmed because of snow! Like hell was I letting her miss out! I drove 100 miles around our town ALL day ferrying people to make sure they arrived! All this in 6/7 inches of deep snow! Had to dig myself out of my driveway but once out I was gone!
Only a FWD 1.9 TDI but boy was it good! **** tyres too
