- This was a silly test I did on my driveway in Ann Arbor MI - the driveway from hell!
Full Story & Explanation here:
www.motortrend...
This driveway peaked at a 30-percent grade. I tried three all-wheel-drive SUVs: a Chevrolet Suburban with with winter tires (aka snow tires), a Range Rover Sport with summer tires (aka three-season tires), and then a GMC Acadia with all-season tires (aka no-season tires).
How'd they do in the snow?
Think about this the next time you share a video of the Tesla Cybertruck... CyberStuck in the snow! If all four wheels are spinning, it's not the car that's the problem; the tires just doin't have grip!

I love how you just randomly uploaded a 20 year old video onto RUclips today
In light of all the Cybertruck-getting-stuck videos, I thought it was timely. Looked for it, but apparently the original got deleted!
I don't care. More Jason is always fun 😊
Yes, good things happen at random. I'm glad you loved the idea. RUclips is full of 20plus year old videos btw
I thought YT recommended me stuff from 11 yrs ago... It was 11 hrs ago.
Then i saw it was from you and understood.
I don't like the Cybertruck, that is my bias, but i understand the engineering.
I also understand and get annoyed at the CT snow story thing because, being from a snowy area, i once slid, on a set of very good Potenza RE760, across the entire road at 3mph, into a curb, dragged by a cocktail of gravity and road crown.
It literally doesn't matter.
If the tire sucks in snow, it sucks in snow.
Can't wait to hear about that on the Carmudgeon ! 😁
Recognize watching it in school at a time when this was considered good video quality 😄. Content is still good and demonstrates well the different grip levels and capabilities 👍
Now THIS is quality motoring content.
Looking forward to more retro reviews from cammisa, a la motorweek.
Big fan of yours Jason, Rover was close despite the summer tires, nonetheless still impressive.
Back in 2003-2008, I had a 2002 Honda Civic LX Coupe that I would put Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice tires on in the winter. This was in and around McKean County, PA. Those tires helped me out on many occasions.
I have similar video on my channel. I was driving in snow storm with my small bmw rwd 1 series with blizzak bridgestones without any hiccups and left and right cars were stuck on the side of the road with land cruisers and other huge suvs probably on all season tires
Howdy from northern Alberta.
When we don't have time to play in the snow and ice this is what we do:
Step 1. Shovel the snow off the driveway and all sidewalks. Right down to the cement or tat least o the ice.
Step 2. Thinly spread Alaskan Blue Ice Melt (like salt but gentler on everything) on the driveway and sidewalks. Spread more at the top of the driveway if it is sloped. It will quickly work its way down hill.
In about 24 hours you will have wet cement and with a little bit of a wind that will dry too.
Cheers!
can we acknowledge the sheer Buster Keaton quality of the opening on foot sequence.
I'm actually surprised that Range Rover got anywhere on those tires.
Off topic but I had a blast watching you and Leno with your VW Scirocco. That noise coming out of that 16V was music to my ears
It brings so many nice memories 😊
I need to find my old VHS with simillar recordings, with Opel Vectra, E320 W124 or Opel Omega MV6 😅

yeah, ok, the Cybertruck got it's feelings hurt. But if it didn't want that to happen it shouldn't look so dumb
Tires matter. I remember snow plowing in 2 wheel drive once because my 4x4 wasn't working. It was at my mechanics and started snowing. I had no.choice but to pull it out. I only had the one pickup truck. I admit i put lots of salt in the back to weigh it down but still. I had awesome Yokohama tires.
Thanks Jason. Wraps everything up in a nice little video. If you want grip in snow, get snow tires. The amount of crap I have gotten for driving a rwd car in the winter is annoying. All the Karens and Kyles with their bald all season equipped SUVs can shove it. Get good tires kids.
AMC Eagle would have done that no problem.
Wow, the Acadia has a pretty good AWD system.
Sucks not to be able to park in your own driveway!!!
winter tires easy narrower higher profile nokians they existed 20 years ago..
Of course the Range Rover gets the porn music
I'd love to see those summer tires at about 8psi and see if they did any better.
Yet, some people think that winter tires are a myth. With a decent AWD and winter tires, you are almost unstopable. My next step is Studded Hakka's.
Check your local regulations first. Many places don't allow studded tires because they tear up streets. I had a 1992 GTI that was nearly undriveable in snow. Then a friend told me about Bridgestone Blizzaks. It was life-changing.
@@dougrobinson8602Yes, they are allowed in my area. We live in the valley(Somewhere in Canada) so they never put salt to not contaminate the river. We drive over ice and packed snow 4-5 month a year.
I know regulations are different in other countries, but for me as a Swede with 4-5 months of winter driving, studded tires are a must. Even in the city. Right now my street is covered in snow with an inch of hard ice underneath. Been like since before Christmas.

I do not miss 15 fps flash videos.
unlisted yet it came up in the recommended feed??? odd
Straight from 2007
Who also thought the range rover would go up the slope backwards 😅😂😂😂
Why does the video quality looks like it’s from the 80s. This is making me feel old!!!!
would love to see more of these old videos.
we bought that Range Rover Sport with those summer tires back in 2006. Same result... I have had winters on my SUVs in MN ever since then.
Us in Maine right now. only thing is we can drive bettah than that! awesome reto vid JC! love the “dont try this at home” disclaimer! haaa
I still remember the smell from my neighbors E30 after way too many tries...
Best content that ive seen so far today! Ive never driven in snow but 🤣🤣looks ummm, fun 🤔
Driving in snow in a rear wheel drive car with winter tires is about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. I just hate the salt.
Ah, this must be the notorious Detroit driveway.
Thanks for this!
An oldie but a goodie
I've always been fascinated by the differences in approaches to winter driving in the U.S. and Europe, especially here in Scandinavia/Sweden.
Almost everybody here has two sets of wheels, one set with summer tires and one with winter tires. And very often the winter tires are studded 'cause of, you know, ice.
Studded tires are sadly banned in much os the US. Ice is extremely rare due to salt and the roadways are cleared so quickly that you would have to change them several times a day because you can't use them on asphalt. Only when you have packed snow or ice covering the roads which is never more than 6-8 hours
@@joeleonard9965 I understand that, have family in WA and NC. Here we can have inch thick ice on our streets for several weeks in a row, and I live in the south. Highways and freeways will often get black ice, even though they're salt gritted several times a day. Gothenburg is on the same parallel as Kodiak, Alaska...
But even non studded winter tires are a far better option than all-season, at least if you live in a state with a cold winter climate.
It's hardly needed in Arizona I guess... 😄
@@marcusjosefsson4998 I trust you guys with managing road conditions and average driver skill more than anywhere else in the world, so I'll take your word for it. Michelin all seasons have shocked me many times though in 2ft or less of snow but car control is mandatory.
We only stopped using radioactive salt brine on our roads in Ohio last year. That shit ate through any speck of exposed metal like nothing I have ever seen.
@@joeleonard9965 Radioactive salt brine? Really? Ouch, that's rough! Salt and moisture are absolutely death to cars. My part of Sweden is our own rust belt. We get damp ocean air from the North Sea/Atlantic and cold polar air from up north, and roads are salted all winter. The cars suffer a slow and painful death...
Ice driving/skid pad course is mandatory for qualifying for a driver's license here. We even learn to do the Scandinavian flick, not as a go faster technique but to learn and understand what happens when the rear end breaks loose and you're about to lose control of the car.
240p wtf
