Here are 5 top tips for safer sporty winter driving:

  • Be mindful of extended braking distances due to reduced traction on winter roads.

  • Anticipate upcoming turns by planning ahead and avoiding abrupt steering inputs.

  • Exercise caution during acceleration, as aggressive starts can lead to loss of control; consider starting in 2nd gear for smoother traction.

  • Familiarize yourself with the road's grip levels by testing your brakes gently to gauge traction.

  • When driving on icy surfaces, exercise gentle throttle control to prevent wheel spin and maintain traction.

Pursue your winter drive dreams with confidence, knowing that with the WinterContact 8 S, the joy of sporty driving knows no bounds.
