4/4 Winter Tire Test Automobile Protection Association www.a

Automobile Protection Association Presents the:

Winter tire recommendations for 2008-2009 www.apa.ca

If you have to drive through winter, in most parts of the country, it is very unlikely that your all-season tires are adequate. On snowy and icy roads, all-season tires provide very limited grip when they are new and this reduced grip further diminishes as the tires age. Even on dry pavement, as the temperature drops, the rubber compound of an all-season tire hardens considerably and provides less grip than a winter tire, which is designed for colder temperatures.

If you wish to learn more about tires, take a look at the Technical Info in our Tire Info section at www.apa.ca

Perhaps, but the later test shows that the argument still stands up to the test. If they'd changed the tyres around on the first test you'd have just seen the car spin and the truck stay stable. The first test was merely there to show that a sedan with winter tyres will outperform a truck on summers or all weathers and perhaps to illustrate that just because you're in a truck, doesn't mean you're going to have more grip in the snow.

@306maxievo2 Yes, LATER ON when they tested the two economy cars they DID change the tires. The first round of testing between the truck and sedan was what I was reffering to. In THAT test, they had mismatched tires AND mismatched vehicles. So I stand by my original statements.

@snowrocket

That's why they changed tyres around between the two cars........

[SY1WEK]

bad demonstration!! your comparing small cars with winter tires compared to larger vehicles with all seasons/....

[shamblesman]

MusicalSilence207...what a fucking idiot you are..watch the video again..they changed the tyres and the results are the same..you bell end. thick fuck.

The overall conclusions of these tests ARE correct, but the first few minutes violate logical testing principles. By doing it this way, they initially undermine their own credibility, which is unbelievable and stupid.

You must doing a fine job on this? Just to remind you of what you post reflects your attitude.

[Poorestgump]
