Braking in the snow


Recommended Posts

Narrow tyres are great in the snow - will cut through deep snow very easy. I have done alot og snow and winter driving in my Spark, and it works perfect. And you don't need tons power in snow.

The pounding from the pedal is quite normal for the old and rudimentary system in the Spark, and with good winter tyres it stops great. With 65.000 km a year and 30% of them in snow, I can say it does very well.

I agree, the snow performance of the USA version was pretty good with my snow tires, didn't really drive it in snow without the winter tires so no idea how the stock tires will function.

Low torque and narrow tires are best in snow. Of course, winter tires would be best. If Schaltz from Denmark's snowy conditions has no problems getting around, well, no one else should either. I'm not concerned with snow in Miami, but I have driven my Spark on sandy beach spots to get a bit closer to the good SCUBA areas on the Keys and have not gotten stuck as some more powerful cars have.
