Every snowfall season, many four-wheel drive car owners rely on the car's excellent traffic ability and handling to "show their skills", which makes many two-wheel drive car enthusiasts envious. At the same time, some riders are curious, the performance of the four-wheel drive car is so strong, do you need to change winter tires?
To answer this question, it is first necessary to understand the concept and characteristics of a four-wheel drive. The so-called four-wheel drive vehicle refers to a car with front and rear differential linkage four-wheel drive, which can improve the traffic capacity and handling of the car by distributing the power of the car engine to the four wheels.
Therefore, the characteristics of four-wheel drive vehicles are mainly reflected in the driveability, and cannot solve the problem of ordinary tires hardening and performance decline at low temperatures in winter, nor can it solve the problem of slippage caused by snow and ice on the road, and winter tires can just make up for this.
Taking Giti's winter driving control WT80 as an example, this winter tire uses low-temperature resistant flexible tread rubber, which can still maintain elasticity and will not harden at low temperatures, and at the same time, it uses sponge rubber, uses the water absorption holes in the tread to absorb and remove the water film on the ice surface, coupled with the bionic groove and snow chamber design, which can cope well with ice and snow roads, and effectively avoid problems such as skidding, idling, and longer braking distance.
Overall, despite the excellent driving capacity and handling of a 4WD, it is important to choose the right winter tyres in order to ensure optimal driving performance and safety in the low winter temperatures.
If the temperature in your area is lower than 7 in winter, ordinary tires will harden, or the road surface is easy to freeze due to snowfall in winter, then be sure to replace the winter tires as soon as possible, it can help you on the complex winter road and protect you to move forward safely.
