Video tutorial

This video shows a comparison between two tyres, 195/45 R16 84V, at a temperature of -9.5°C on snowy, wet, and icy surfaces. The tyres are fitted on two Fiat Abarth 500s. One vehicle has winter tyres, while the other has summer tyres, allowing us to observe their different behaviours.

The vehicle equipped with winter tyres can handle the described conditions with optimal grip, shorter braking distances, cornering stability, and uphill traction. In contrast, the summer-equipped vehicle struggles in several areas, particularly downhill, where the situation becomes more precarious, and only the instructor driver can safely operate the vehicle, which is otherwise unstable.
