I wonder how long it will take for that pug to become a SA banner ad for Aggrogator.

If you've lost traction, brakes aren't going to help you.

Ice = low coefficient of friction, so there's not much to stop the car, even if the driver were braking.

Also the driver had probably just locked up their brakes and was keeping the brake pedal floored while trying to turn the steering wheel to where they wanted to be, not to where they're going no matter what. It's possible to regain traction, but not if you fight what's happening.

Slamming the brakes won't stop the car sliding, but it will stop you from exerting any control over where it goes. Most ice accidents happen because the driver slams the brakes, loses control of the vehicle, and goes carreening into the first tree or lamp post in the way. Other than being in a completely inappropriate car for icy conditions, the driver did the exact right thing.

How many people actually switch their tires for winter? I certainly don't and I've never had a problem with snow. Live in Washington, so snow is usually only on the ground a couple weeks out of the year. You don't "need" winter tires to drive in snow. If you drive in snow a LOT then it might be worth it, but not for most people in most states.

Live in Washington, so snow is usually only on the ground a couple weeks out of the year. It's not how much snow is on the ground, it's the temperature. Winter tires have better grip in the cold (under 7C) due to a different rubber compound mix in them.

Krowley posted:Good for you I guess but not everyone lives in a place with 0 snow, and this clearly includes the people in that gif who should've put on some god drat winter tires Where I live there is often just as much snow as in that gif. Yeah, snow tires would have helped, but the main problem was that the person clearly doesn't know how to drive in the snow. And no, paying a few hundred dollars for a set of snow tires i'll use for a few weeks out of the year and then have to store for the rest of the year doesn't make sense. In an emergency I can always pull over and put on some $40 chains that are easy to store in the back of my car and it'd work just fine, but the only time i've ever needed to do that is when I go skiing on the pass.

It's kinda dumb to buy a set of seasonal tires if you aren't retarded. I live in Wisconsin and don't personally know a single person who switches out their tires in the winter.

Are you claiming that people who live in Wisconsin aren't necessarily retarded?  I mean granted, it's not like they live in Minnesota, but still.

You can spot the all seasoners when you live in NY and they're amusing as long as they aren't sliding your way.

As someone who drives heavy vehicles in Sweden for a living, let me address a few things.veedubfreak posted:ftfy And as you said, yes the biggest problem is that people are loving idiots. Tyres aren't even the biggest issue, speed is. Snow or ice and the distance you need to come to a full stop triples or even quadruples. If you don't account for that either by lowering your speed, or increase the distance to the vehicle in front of you (which of course does nothing if something or someone unexpectedly jumps up in front of you), then you'll have a problem if you need to brake.

Winter tires have better grip in the cold (under 7C) due to a different rubber compound mix in them. But as I said above, the mix can also vary depending on how cheap the tyres were. Regardless, no matter how good your tyres, fancy anti-spin systems, ABS brakes, etc you have, doesn't matter much if you can't drive. And I see multiple people daily who drive like they got their driver's license in a cereal box. Oh, and have this work-related (for me) gif.  (Click the gif for source)

Odd. I lived in Maine and it was the opposite for me. I knew plenty of people who had a set of winter tires, including myself. Related content:

As someone who knows more people who haven't seen snow than have I find the idea of winter tyres quite amusing. It's possible you can't buy the things on the continent at all. People still shouldn't be allowed to drive because they suck at it.

I'm in WI, and I have winter tires. I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority though. on the other hand, I live on a hill, so just getting to my driveway during the winter can be an adventure all by itself.

Pretty much any winter specific tire is going to work better on snow or ice than a summer tire. Summer tires, which as you said don't have a compound designed for cold, also don't have the siping and tread block design that creates traction on ice (without studs). I have a pretty decent set of high performance summer tires (hankook v12 evo), and they have zero grip in the winter- dry, snow, ice, whatever. Makes my Subaru completely undriveable. I jabbed on the brakes when it was around freezing on dry pavement and they just locked up immediately. I also tried driving up a slight incline in the snow to get off the street for plows and barely made it. In contrast, the set of used low end snow tires I have will go pretty much anywhere.

A decent modern all-season tire on the other hand is a decent compromise and will work mostly fine on snow and ice. Probably better than snow tires from 10-15 years ago. Anyhow, here's a gif
