Yeah, its funny how I keep hearing of people who claim that they don't need winter tires because they have an AWD SUV, yet it is those same people who get into serious accidents during the winter when they rear-end someone at the stop lights. They usually blame the other person for 'stopping too quickly'. It never even occurs to them that maybe they should buy winter tires to cure this problem they are having.

Stopping and turning requires good tires no matter what you drive, how many wheels are pulling. It's basic ignorance about the owner's vehicles, lack of driving skill, and buying marketing hype that leads to accidents. Winter tires are mandatory in snowy places if you want to drive danger free. People who boast of all-season (no-season) tires have no idea how much traction they give up in comparison to tires designed in a thousand ways to hook on cold, snowy surfaces.

Allseason in europe is WITH Snowflakemountainsymbol. I used the Vredestein Quatrac5 over here in The Netherlands and neighborouring countries. So rather flat up to 700 metres mountains with 50 cm of snowover. These performed very well and had no problem with steep roads. However, the Goodyear vector4 Gen2 are known to be even better and these are now under my car since my Quatracs were worn down.

Two of the most foul-winter-weather states in the country and they don't allow studded winter tires; MN and WI. Oh, and even though I am a die-hard winter tire user, the test comparing the vehicle navigating that corner? The driver who spun around didn't use any counter-steer technique. Just FYI.

Usually the people who praise the all-weather stuff, have never actually tried to drive on a wet ice with a bit snow on top of it. On a wet ice a studded wheel is simply unbeatable.

I bet less than 5% of drivers used winter tires even in the snowy states. Remember, driver skills and slower speed along with enough threads are some of the factors. I have an AWD drive vehicle equipped with the best all season tires and never had problems. People are going to have prob;ems driving too fast in a RWD vehicle with bald tires.

you do know that the video shows the all season tires still rotating on the car as you check breaking distance. the driver is purposely not pushing the brakes hard enough to engage the antiliock breaks. Stopping distance is supposed to be measured at full break power not mild breaking power done by a biased driver.

23Darkio not it's not, ABS is rapid. It doesn't allow the wheel to rotate several rotations

You think ABS (as in ANTI-lock brakes) NOT locking up the wheels is a conspiracy? Hmm.....
