2WD Winter tyres vs AWD Summer tyres: SNOW DRAG RACE

It’s time to find out just how essential winter tyres are!
We’ve got Mat lining up at an indoor ski slope in an Audi A1, and he’s facing off against an Audi SQ7!
In normal conditions, you’d think this would be a walkover for the SQ7. After all, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 507hp and 770Nm! In comparison, the Audi A1 only has a little 1-litre 3-cylinder under the bonnet that’s only good for 110hp and 200Nm. It’s also only available with front-wheel drive, while the SQ7 has all-wheel drive.
However, the A1 has an ace up its sleeve. It’s had some winter tyres fitted, while the SQ7 only has summer tyres on! And of course, let’s not forget that the A1 is a whole lot lighter, tipping the scales at 1,130kg. In comparison, the SQ7 weighs a whopping 2,265kg!
So how will this play out - will the A1 fly up the hill first? Or will the power output of the SQ7 prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

@PaperCoffeeTable Жыл бұрын

In Sweden we are taught to reverse fwd cars if we can’t get them up a snowy slope. That gives the car better traction when accelerating since the weight of the car is pushed to the back of the car when accelerating, and to the front when reversing giving better traction on a fwd car.

@@ashterfadgadget817 I think in the usually mild UK winters, a good all season tyre can be a better choice than a fully siped winter, unless you live somewhere that gets a lot of snow like scotland. For example where I live in Yorkshire it's been below freezing for a week or so, but on monday it's forceast 13 degrees. Full winters start struggling as it warms up and it not unusual for that to happen these days. All seasons cope with the milder spells better, but will easily keep you safe and mobile when it's cold or if it snows.

Narrower tyres tend to work really well in the snow in comparison to wider tyres.

@Sm00th-0perator Жыл бұрын

True if there is e.g. 20 cm of snow on the road, because the narrow tire cuts the snow more easily. On the other hand, on a plowed road, you would think that a wider tire would work better, because more of the tire hits the road and thus gives more surface area (friction) to pull / push the car forward.

@nthgth 6 ай бұрын

@@Sm00th-0peratorthe reason wider tires are better on the road is due to subtleties of how tires grip the road at the microscopic level, and how it deforms when applying grip. A narrower tire will have about the same contact patch size ("surface area"), it'll just be longer and narrower.

My 2014 Q3 150TD Quattro came with 235/55R17 summers. Tried Audi WInterpackage - Wheels and Dunlop 215/65/16 but as we see little snow in my part of UK I then sourced some OEM Q3 Audi 16" wheels from Germany [seen on a German base spec in a carpark] and fitted 215/65 R16 Bridgestone A005 Weather Control EVO All Season. Great grip in all conditions I face and better ride than the 235/55R17 summers. PS - never sure how the quattro wanted to split power before slippage and jiggerpokery takes over until the latest MOT showed 60 % rear bias

If you have poor traction in snow you dont want to push pedal in the floor and all wheels spinning. This just does not work at all. Ideally you want manual car and very gently lift up clutch with low revs and feel that traction. (Yes i am from Finland and over 20 year snow driving experience with RWD cars).

Hey Matt, next time try the front-wheel car climb in reverse you will be surprised how far you will go. It really works well, it is the same reason why Porsche has a great grip when accelerating from 0. Hopefully, you gonna read this 🙏🏻😊

Thanks for the info. I am glad I have all-season tires on my car.

Would be interesting to see a RS3 and a Etron gt at this place. Is more weight better for this test or worse?🤔 Also is it better to accelerate while sliding back down or are you sliding sideways if you do so? 🤔

@okithdesilva129 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely!

@GoldenCroc Жыл бұрын

Less weight is better in a "newtonian sense". Of course, often the surface you are running on doesnt conform to such a simplified physics model, and neither does tires for the most part.

In the Netherlands winter tires aren't compulsory, even for hire cars. So I hired a car once and it had summer tires and it was snowing. Most terrifying drive of my life.

Good Test, It isn't just one thing that gets you through snow. But it definitely helps to be prepared.

@jonl2938 Жыл бұрын

Traction off the line is important, but the reason we go with winter tires is the braking and turning performance. We also get about 200 of snow a year and our road is ice for at least 3 months so those tires get plenty of use. Cheers from Canada.

When the little red car was "scuppered" going forward it would have been able to make the grade in reverse. I found that out in my Austin Mini on St. Marks hill one winter.
