In this thrilling video from The Fast Lane Car, Andre and Roman take on the treacherous winter conditions with their newly equipped Range Rover. They've swapped out the 21-inch wheels for more sidewall, opting for 20-inch wheels that just barely fit due to the massive brakes. The team received a set of Falcon Wildpeak AT Trail tires, which are not only designed for off-road adventures but also boast a three-peak mountain snow rating. But what does that mean, you ask? Well, it means these tires offer better acceleration on packed snow, thanks to their three-dimensional lugs that provide excellent grip.
Now, don't mistake these tires for dedicated snow tires. They can be used year-round, unlike their specialized counterparts that turn rock hard in temperatures below 44°F. Andre and Roman decided to leave the Range Rover in auto mode, allowing the vehicle's sophisticated sensors to determine the optimal settings based on the weather conditions. However, they did encounter a minor issue with the tire pressure monitor system, which was swiftly resolved by Discount Tire.
With the stage set, it was time for the ultimate test. Andre unleashed the power of the Range Rover, accelerating through the snow-covered landscape. The stability and traction control systems kicked in, keeping the wheels in check and preventing any wild spinning. The team was impressed with the performance, but they wanted to push further. Roman took the wheel and decided to turn off the stability system for a more exhilarating experience. The result? A thrilling display of controlled chaos as the Range Rover slid gracefully through the snow, with Roman expertly counter-steering to maintain control.
In conclusion, while the Falcon Wildpeak AT Trail tires with their three-peak mountain snow rating provided decent traction on packed snow, they didn't quite match the performance of dedicated snow tires. Nevertheless, they proved to be a versatile choice for the Range Rover, offering a balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability. The team at The Fast Lane Car is excited to conduct more comprehensive tests in the future, pitting these tires against other contenders. So, stay tuned for more thrilling adventures and tire-shredding action from Andre and Roman!
