I'm only taking the title on face value but it does say they do have winter tires. I'd blame it more on going dead straight in a slushy run than the fresh powder 12" to the right, laugh
Won't help in that snow. In wet snow all tyres are worthless. Mud tyres like the ones on off roaders, are better still wortless. You may try chains but they may hit on the pavement bellow and break.
or maybe they just don't know how to handle it. even the posh range rovers srill have those offroad modes like locked diffs and full awd mode with low range.
@@Emppu_T.all u fr need is winter tires. Dude has to be on the wrong mode because my little ass chevy cruze with only 2 front snow tires can climb tf outta this hill.
@@jasjotdhanjal5537It’s a RR it shouldn’t be able to have driver fault I’ve never seen that in the ads.. The new RR sport.. Only capable of what we advertise if you’re a really good driver 💪 Doesn’t really have a ring to it 😂
@@itsthediabolical1187 Doesnt require a ring to it to be true. Arbys roast beef sandwich... eat drink process internally through the digestive system and then poop it out the other end. Companies usually don't tell the full story, would never have a nice ring to it.
As a previous L322 owner, there is no way that this L494 is on winter tires. It’s traction control system is much more advanced than the L322’s and that thing could climb up the steepest snowy/icy, hill with proper tires. This thing CLEARLY is on all seasons or even straight up “summer” tires. And that person really seems inexperienced when it comes to driving in the snow. 😅
There is probably a layer of ice hiding under everything in that case it does not matter what tires or traction system you have. A lot of people think snow tires, studs, the best traction system and you are always going to win but that is just not reality. proper hill of ice and its going down.
@@Spartansrule118 hey there. Sadly mine had not been taken care of properly before I got it, and things started breaking down quite rapidly. JLR products haven’t had the best reliability overall either. That Jaguar 4.4 V8 was solid though. 👌🏻 Electronics were a problem and very expensive to fix (mainly the parts, not so much the labour). While I would’ve loved to keep it, I don’t think my financial situation at the time would’ve allowed that for much longer. While I would’ve sold it in my 2nd year of ownership, it sadly got destroyed in a massive crash. :( Thankfully it’s a fairly safe vehicle and no one was severely injured. If you can afford expensive parts when it breaks, it’s okay. I’d just recommend looking for one that had very good maintenance and wasn’t abused. They’re wonderful machines when they’re taken care of properly. I’d have another one in a heartbeat if my finances allowed.
@@SO-Negative in my town in winter temp is always negative and my panda always works. Maybe LR has a better engine, but Panda can do something that this LR can only dream! Maybe u have never been in Italy...
They aren’t Alpin’s, or any other “winter tyres”. Winter tyres that are designed for snow bind a layer of snow to them, because snow grips to snow. That’s how they work. These shown are black, no layer of white snow.
No snow tires here’s the problem nothing to do with the car it’s now tires and right setting turned on a car if it was someone experienced driving wouldn’t of happened
And there's the rub. Compacted snow makes even the BEST tires act like the ARE bald. ACTUAL traction would've been chains, gravel, even a bit of kitty litter!
🤣😂 Oh, tire chains? You didn't mention that. That'll be $500 extra per tire, and we'll throw in a bottle of jiffy lube for your backside at no extra cost.
I drove a ford festiva in 12" snow. 12" tires. Passed a line of dozen big 4 wheelers who were in the single plowed lane. They were going about 25mph I was going 50 - 60 in the deep unplowed. Momentum and controlling sliding.
You'll be unable to get up those hills with ice and snow trust me. It's not the car... I've been up those types of hills with rear wheel drive only. No issues. It's all about the tires. In some mountain roads you're not allowed up without chains
Idiots in Range rovers who think there cars are invincible. As per comments on here, it's about the tyres, the technology of the 4x4 system can only get you so far.
In fairness, compact wet snow is as bad or worse than ice and powder. The irregularities on the surface of ice provide some grip for the right tread/compound combination. Compacted snow at temps around or just above freezing just gives way and lets the tire spin, regardless of tread. If you're lucky, the tire can spin its way down to ground. Ironically, traction control can make things worse by moving the spin from wheel to wheel until everything grinds to a halt. Locking diffs are a great asset, but make steering a bitch.
Doesn't matter what you're driving, if you're running all season tires or summers, you're not climbing a hill that's all ice. Doesn't matter if it's a for Toyota or Subaru the make of the vehicles makes little differences difference
Range rovers and their AWD system are crapy when faced with situations like this or offroad mud/dirt and rocks especially when you dont have good tires
Yep. As long as you apply a gentle constant force and not smash on the gas like this person you stand a much better chance to make it through slippery conditions. So many people do not know this very simple driving technique for snow and just smash. SO frustrating watching them spin their damn wheels and sending their coefficient of friction into nothing.
Morons will somehow say that the 4WD system is weak, that RR is losing it and that their grandma's Ford Fiesta would have made it up on slicks no problem. The fact of the matter is wet "slushy" snow like that fills up threads in no time and is slick as hell, it's one of the hardest conditions even for winter tires. With real winter tires he would have made it up the incline. Take it from a Canadian that drives in this shit half of the year.
You are right. But I have to say, I've been in Canada for almost a year and in Prince George nobody had a problem with winter and snow but in Vancouver everything goes to shit if there are 0.5cm of snow on the road xD
Another Canadian here. I think something else that may be going on is they didn’t turn off traction control. You can see the tires stopping spinning over and over as if they’re hitting the breaks. That’s exactly what it looks like to me. You yourself would know that doesn’t aid in giving you more traction in the snow and makes it almost impossible to get through anything like this.
This is what happens when u have bologna skins for tires. My sister has this exact model range rover and she gets around just fine with her winter tires.
I never was a Jeep guy, and I'm still not, but I still have a lot of respect for my '95 GC 5.2l. It drove several hundred miles on a blown head gasket, dominated snowmageddon without chains on cheap stock street tires, pulled double it's weight uphill like it was nothing, never got stuck no matter how deep the mud was, won countless races, survived more than a year without an oil change, there was nowhere I couldn't take it, it handled everything I put it through, and it's still running strong today with over 300k miles and a new t-case from a wrecking yard. Plus it sounds pretty nice with just a cherry bomb under it. 10/10 would buy another one. It would have towed this guy home no problem 😅 Anyone who talks bad about them must not have any understanding of vehicles, or never knew how to perform any repairs themselves. It's the only vehicle I haven't minded having an automatic transmission in either.
My 03 laredo just hit 200k miles no major issues the most major has been tracking bar which was a piece of cake with my cordless impact... I also run it on pure e85 ethanol no issues and get about 17 city with the e85! Bought it brand new with 6 miles on it... no clear coat peeling nothing! It's Well built sturdy machine so I agree strongly with your take!
3 tips for bad snow especially with ice underneath. 1) If you can't get up a hill (or down one without sliding out of control) look for a grass verge next to the road & get 2 wheels on that. The snow on the road may be ice, or ice covered with fresh fluffy snow, which is even worse for traction. The verge is virtually NEVER slippery ice, it is almost ALWAYS crunchy underneath when the road is icy. WARNING! Watch out for homeowners putting big rocks on the grass to stop parking on nice grass verges... Yes. Yes I once did!... 😭😭 (the rocks were placed in the dips made by cars wheels & weren't apparent under the snow, but were big enough to damage my bumper... 🤦) 2) Front wheel drive? Try going up in reverse, as gravity puts more weight over the driven wheels. As opposed to going up forwards, gravity pulls the engine weight backwards as well as down onto the driven wheels, reducing grip. 3) if you've spun the wheels so much, you've packed snow into polished ice & are really stuck, no shovel etc available... Windscreen de-icer! A quick squirt just behind each ice trapped wheel & move the vehicle bit by bit, repeating the process till you get traction. (Go as far as you can each time, obviously). Good luck....
All are good except for the FWD going backwards. The average person won't know how to handle the throttle. In Drive, you can change the gear to a lower one, but not in Reverse. The idea is to not spin the wheels.
@@jamesplymire5342 it IS good, if it works, which it often does. You may be from the continent of big engines. In a little, old 1.0 litre shopping trolley, you wouldn't necessarily have the torque for the lower gears, or maybe have a dying clutch, so increased traction by doing what I said may be the only option. It's not "wrong" & not everyone is too stupid to use that method. If you're stuck & alone, you try anything that works! Way to prove you think you're better than anyone else... In case you weren't aware, throttle control & sensitivity can prevent wheelspin, where you're so clever, you need gears... Thanks for your input.
I mean in fairness if your in a car that has an automatic transmission and your doing under 10mph you will be in 1st regardless what gear you have the selector set on.
Smart idea with the deicer. Probably if the person really needs to get up that road. Start pouring the deicer down the top or middle of the block/road. It looks like the driver is heading to an apt
@@deansmits006 in that you need an actual winter tire. Studs just make a lot of noise and scratch the road surface. The only surface condition where studs can challenge a dedicated winter tire is smooth ice with water on it. I.e. the slipperiest temperature. The soft rubber compound of a dedicated winter tire won't support studs.
You don’t put chains on a Range Rover. I just moved to Lake Tahoe from Colorado and am astonished and embarrassed for the Jerry’s chaining up their cars. Usually a Honda Civic with chains installed on the rear tires. It’s amazes me how stupid people are. Driver error for sure, slow and steady. Not 100% throttle dummies
Difference is when you know you know if you don’t this is the result ❗️ I’ve had 2 proper jeeps, a Subaru currently L200 Mitsubishi with something like 15 2wd and the rest 4x4 combos and fine 4x4 training always use lo ratio no gas same for going down steep inclines
@@idontcare2851 you really do. The pattern in the tires makes the traction in snow. As long as there’s some depth in the grooves too. Oversimplification: the pattern in summer tires minimize the risk of water sliding, which means minimal gripping surface for acceleration. All season tires are a compromise between these two “extremes” and so won’t be as good in either in comparison. But yeah. Good summer tires are better than bad winter tires!
@@nadrile it’s not just the pattern, snow tyres have a different type of rubber compound as well. The rubber in snow tyres doesn’t harden up like summer tyres will in colder temps.
All these comments, a RR is quite uzeless under circumstances like these, it is too heavy the tyres are too wide and it has much fo much power. A 2CV is ideal, FWD, large narrow wheels and no power. Even in standard Michelin tyres it will take this hill. Same goes for a FIAT Panda. Even an okd FWD model can take this hill. And Subaru are in a class of their own. An old model Land Rover can do the job easily as well. You need torque, traction and a manual gearbox, sometimes you get traction in 3rd gear while wheels spin in 1st and 2nd. But a TATRA 6 x 6 dumptruck will probably be the best option by far!
You have to know how to drive in the snow. Everything is slower, and smooth and steady. My dad always taught me not to spill the dog water in the back seat. And even that was just for everyday regular driving.
Eh, it all depends on the state of the snow... A fresh snow is sticky and you can go decently fast, sometimes is even needed to push through patches. Too slow in a hill wont help. Sure is not Trophée Andros but you need to have a certain inertia
Just keep your rpms lower, so you won't slip out is a good start. Accelerate steadily and slow down steadily and quite early. Remember, racing to a red light means you just have to stop sooner / more frequently.
@@kurodesuuuu tbh I lived in Texas during the freeze which wasn’t a lot of snow compared to this and I had a RWD truck with all terrain BF Goodrich KO2s and my motto was keep the front of the vehicle in front of the back of the vehicle. I only got stuck in gas station parking lots with uneven ice. It’s funny trying to budge a vehicle an inch by pushing it on slippery ice. After enough playing with the wheel and going in drive and reverse with a buddy trying to push I got out
@@kurodesuuuuJust make sure to give extra following distance, avoid breaking especially if you start skidding, and try to accelerate not too quickly. Mainly you just have to drive a few times to understand the feel of driving in snow and how your car handles it.
I live in a snow ❄️ belt and I guarantee you can easily get up that incline easily with NO 4 WHEEL DRIVE and just by only putting on SNOW ❄️ TIRES, NOT ALL SEASON TIRES, BUT SNOW TIRES. That Range Rover has high profile tires that are NOT for winter driving. Snow tires alone are amazing with only front wheel drive ❄️🎄
Made me happy one day to drive right past a stuck Range Rover in the sand on a beach in my Jeep Wrangler. He had a sticker on the window that read "Nice Jeep peasant" 🤣
@@peasantsarerevolting9343 even moderate all terrain tires (which you can use year round) would be beneficial here. Range Rovers have large diameter wheels and low well clearance leading most of them being equipped with lower profile tires. Not conducive to tread that works well in the snow.
I told a lady one day she is the third pregnant lady I pulled out the ditch today .. she said I'm not pregnant I said your not out the ditch yet either.
There's no way that car is on winter tyres. I've owned 2 of that exact same Range Rover Sport model which in winter were fitted with Continental Winter Contact tyres and both would have breezed up that hill
@@so1667 I’m not old lol and second it’s not showing off, it’s you saying “I don’t own something” when in fact I do own it, so because you assume, it’s time for you to upload your vehicles since you have so much to say.
One word: GLASSES ! Yes, you still need them !! The person who uploaded the video already mentioned the vehicle had snow tyres on !! !!! IT'S IN THE TITLE !!! Yourself & the 15 idiots who liked your comment must be the same people who voted for Biden... shit for brains !!! One more point... you don't need Snow Tyres. I've never bought a set in my entire life & scaled every road gradient in our area.
Nowadays they have these skins that you put on, takes 2 seconds. No crazy straps and no tearing up the road. They look like jackets for your tires, but they work. Like telemark skis, but for tires.
@@mutabor6614 возможно всё дело в резине. Но даже не смотря на то, что этот Ровер полноприводный, у него нет блокировки дифференциала, что для данной ситуации критично.
1-snow tires 2nd AWD on (which I see it’s on. Congratulations) 3rd put it in higher gear. 3rd or 4th. Better traction. 4th. Congratulations you made it home. 👍
Stupid comment... - A range Rover is a permanent AWD, - Never mind the gear with an auto gearbox, The most important is to know how to use traction control (read the owner manual).
@@michelbonnet3787 another stupid comment... -congrats yes it is perma AWD, tick marks all round -automatic yes, but gear choice is still selectable via the manual mode OR using the high/low range gears that come WITH your RR that you HAVE to select manually. if you're going to correct someone atleast do it right XD joker
