  • They dramatize the "spin out" at 1:02... As you can see, he doesn't even attempt to counter steer because the wheels are still turned left even after the spin has started... It's clear that they are pushing propaganda to justify the winter tire law in Canada so they can keep fining people to generate revenue. RIGGED.

  • A nije no ovaj u crnog dzipa ne umije da vozi :D

  • video is exaggerated.

  • To the idiots that think it's fake, put a pair of Blizzaks or Conti Extreme winter contacts on next time it snows. It turns your vehicle into a snowmachine instead of a slip sliding hazard machine. I have a winter set of wheels with Extreme winter contacts that go on in a week or so and stay on until april. The rest of the year i use Conti Extreme contact DWS. I live in the mountains and this is common practice. Tourists with all-seasons sliding off mountain roads are a dime a dozen here.

  • If the black truck cranked the wheel the other way and gave more gas he would have been out of that slide and made the turn at 1:00

  • Conclusion is that in the black truck is more fun.

  • was it just me ?, but the "non winter" black truck had to drive on compacted snow during braking test and got the "outside" corner for handling test ! - do it again guys and let us see the real diffrerence using identical conditions !!

  • the first test for braking is exaggerated, you can see the black truck's tires still moving quite rapidly, even with abs. The driver braked much later.

  • How many of us will tackle a corner like that in the snow anyway?

  • this is such bs
