Questions about winter tyres.?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
didn't even know winter tires were needed or used anymore - try putting some weight in the trunk like a couple of 40 lb bags of ice melt salt - that car model just might be too light in the back

If all has to do with vehicle weight, aerodynamics, and car design as to how well it grips the road. Perhaps a different brand would give more control, but who knows?

Maybe your tires are worn out.

Regardless, if your car is unstable at 70km/h, don't go that fast.

Maybe you are sensible and the other guys are reckless.

I drive a 2011 Volkswagen golf. And I change all the tyres to winter tyres when winter is about to come.

(I use Continental Conti Winter Contact 830P)

When I was driving on the highway last year (with about 1 inch of now), I can feel my car is starting to lose control when I go above 70km/h.

But I saw other cars, like honda civic, toyota corrola etc, they seem to have no problems going at 100km/h.

I have already had four winter tyres installed, and I did checked the tyre pressure every week...

Why my car is not able to go fast as others? Anything I was doing wrong?
