How to make a car stable on a winter road

Where to put the best tires - on the front or rear axle? It would seem that the answer to the question has long been known. Most car owners install good tires on the drive axle. That is, on the front. This opinion has long been established, as an axiom.

But what if you do the opposite and look at the result by arranging test races on snowy and icy roads? It turns out that experts recommend doing just that. The video contains an opinion on this subject from such recognized leaders in the tire industry as Bridgestone and Michelin. Of course, if tires with good tread are on the front axle, the braking distance will decrease, but this is perhaps the only advantage.

The tests carried out show that the operation of a front-wheel drive car, when little worn tires are installed on the rear axle, becomes safer. The author of the Project X channel convincingly shows this with particular examples. But it is better to see it from the original source.
