Frontera 2.4i - POV Drive - On the cheapest tires in snow and ice

[@scouter7405]

Hey, were you in 4x4 drive during this video ? I know the frontera doesent have central diff so its 4x4 cant be used on asphalt roads. I see that most of these roads are covered in snow, but there are parts that dont have snow or have very little, isnt it dangerous for the front drive ? Or it would need to be like proper dry asphalt ?

I'd say it isnt a problem as long as one of the front wheels can slip a little, time to time, small patches of asphalt are ok, as long as it is then snowy again. Usually i dont use 4x4 on the road, just when the rear starts slipping like crazy or the roads are mostly snowy, but then its allready slippery enough not to bind up the front, so in my case it works out just fine. Allthogh one should disingage the 4x4 right away when the road is only wet, thats allready enough grip to catch the gears by surprize

@@ThePeca1988 Okay so i should only use it when the road is covered with snow. Im looking to get a 2.0 A sport as my first car in like a month and i was wondering if i could use its 4x4 in winter or in rain when its slippery. Thank you for the response !

@@scouter7405 no problem mate, it will do just fine, the best tactic is to wait for the rear to slip, when it does then you are good to go to switch to 4x4

@@scouter7405 ничего страшного нет ездить на двух мостах тем более зимой по заснеженной дороге. Главное чтобы колёса не отличались в диаметре и не была включена межколесная блокировка, которой у Фронтеры нет с завода. Единственное передний привод рекомендуется отключать при быстрой езде на сухом покрытии для экономии топлива.
